For the last few day the Red Sox looked like a mirror image of the Dodgers. Dying and quickly being pushed out of post season play. A finally, a kid from Woodland, Ca battles his way to a two out RBI single and the Red Sox wake up. Ortiz temporarly breaks out of his slump at the right moment and breathes life back into Red Sox nation. JD Drew has found a home in Boston and calmly belted one over the right field fence to get the Sox back to within one run. Drew looked very comfortable at the plate while working Howell to a 3-1 count. You knew he was going to hit the ball hard somewhere. And he did and Boston will go back to Tampa.
Will Beckett be able to continue the magic on Saturday. My money is on Beckett. He has always been a big game pitcher and I think that he will. He take the mound with that Texas attitude that led Florida to a World Series title before.
Now that the Dodgers are done for the year, we can start talking about the National League west and where is Manny and CC going next year. It is very possible that the Dodgers will pick up both and take the upper hand in the NL West. Or does Manny end up in New York?
