Four outs in an inning = Loss

The Angels continue to five the Red Sox extra outs. I almost feel bad for Chone Figgins. This guy has been the uber-utilityman for the Angels this year, and he's going to be the goat. No question that he should have fielded some of these balls that he bobbled, juggled, and just plain missed.

I love the way the Sox hitters are approaching these games. Back in the middle of the summer, it seemed to me they were taking too many pitches. I recall the end of June series in New York where they couldn't seem to get the bats off their shoulders. On the flip side, Sheffield and Jeter were out the battling every pitch, fouling away three, four and sometimes more until they put the ball in play. Manny must have struck out 5 times in that series... it was driving me crazy.

This is the way they need to play. The way they HAVE to play if they are going all the way.

Papi is just absolutely smoking hot. Another double and an RBI.

Currently 4-1 Sox with 1 out in the bottom of the fourth.
