Red Sox Win
Boston win in the bottom of the ninth on a walk-off home run by Manny Ramirez. The Angels walked nine batters in the game. They averaged 2.94 per nine during the regular season.
The teams now head to Anaheim where they'll play on Sunday. Boston sends Schilling and Beckett to the mound, giving them a good shot at coming home with a berth in the ALCS secure.
Two very exciting games tonight, with the big slugger on both teams coming through with two outs for a walk off victory. So far, it's been a fun post season.
And every DS is now 2-0. How often does that happen?
the last time it happened was the first possible time it could have happened: 1995:
NLDS: Braves 2-0 Rockies; Reds 2-0 Dodgers
ALDS: Yankees 2-0 Mariners; Indians 2-0 Red Sox
It's amazing to think that the top three markets, and another which is among the top 6 or 7 I think, are all in the post-season, and yet all four on the verge of elimination. MLB suits and Fox must be thrilled.
