Red Sox Win

The Red Sox confirm they are the team to beat in the post season with a three game sweep of the Angels. LAnahiem scored in just two of twenty seven innings as the Red Sox pitchers just dominated the Angels hitters, holding them to four runs over three games. Coming into the series, I thought the Red Sox defense was a good match for the Angels ball-in-play offense, but I didn't think it would be that lopsided.

In the three sweeps so far, a good (or in the case of the Cubs, better) was totally shut down. The same thing is happening in the Yankees-Indians series. I'm not surprised the Red Sox and the Rockies won, but I really thought their opponents would play them tougher.

Congratulations to the Red Sox on their return to the ALCS. Manny and Papi showed they're an offensive force that can carry the team, and the Red Sox pitching staff showed why they led the AL in ERA. Whoever they draw in the rest of the playoffs is in for a rough ride.
