At the outset all of the LDS appeared to be quite competitive with the potential to provide us with some great postseason baseball. So far the results have been pretty one sided, with each series now 2-0 and the losing teams not looking particularly good. The only really good game of the first three days was last night’s Red Sox-Angeles game in which the Angeles clawed back from a 5-1 deficit to tie it in the bottom of the 8th, only to see J.D. Drew quash their hopes with a two-run homer in the top of the 9th.
That game gives hope to Angele fans that their team can fight back agaisnt the Red Sox, but it looks like a tall order for them to beat the playoff-tested Josh Beckett in Fenway on Sunday. If they can somehow get by that game they have a shot, but I’m predicting the Red Sox will seize the moment and sweep the Angeles out of the playoffs for the fourth time in a row. The Angeles are a fine team, but for some reason Boston just seems to have their number on October.
