It Ain't Over Yet

Even after waiting 22 years, 5 hours and 19 minutes seemed like an eternity, but the Angels finally won a playoff game against the Red Sox.  Now maybe the dumbasses who are doing the announcing on TBS can finally stop talking about "the streak".

(Note:  Sorry, but this is going to be another one of my short posts as I have to go do my "real job")

Not to complain, but last night's game should never have gone into extra innings.  Gifted with 3 runs on a bloop single that both Howin Kendrick and Torii Hunter gave up on, the Red Sox managed to score just one run on their own.  The first 3 RBI single in playoff history resulted from Kendrick and Hunter doing the "you got it"-"you take it" dance in center after the Sox had loaded the bases.

Mike Napoli hit 2 home runs, the first being a huge blast that landed outside of Fenway.  Jered Weaver, making his first relief appearance of his career, pitched 2 scoreless innings to get the win.

Tonight's game is a rematch of Game 1 starters John Lackey and Jon Lester.

I know this post is lame, please check back tomorrow to read the highlights from tonight's Game 4 Angels win.
