One down, two to go - the Sox did what they needed to last night, they brought it back to Boston, that's all anyone could ask for ... just give us a chance to play again at home. It would've been so disappointing for it to end like that. And Josh Beckett, I don't know what to say about him. He's the best postseason pitcher going right now, and aside from Johan Santana, arguably the best pitcher in baseball.
Half of last night's game I had to follow on my blackberry, as we were celebrating Mom's retirement at a dinner in her honor; by the time I got home it was only 2-1 in the the top of the 6th inning and from there the Sox broke it open and won easily. It was so satisfying to hear the Indian fans mute, with their stupid towels by their side, not knowing what to do with them. Now Cleveland is a good baseball town, they don't have pathetic thundersticks, and they fill the ballpark, which is saying something for some cities in October, but it's almost as if they need the towels to create their atmosphere, and that's sad ... you'd never need that in Boston, or New York for that matter. Fans alone should create atmosphere. Real fans at least.
Now tomorrow the Sox will turn to Schilling who said himself, 'came up small in a big game' last time out. It's hard to imagine someone with Schilling's ego, and his preparedness coming up 'small' for a 2nd straight outing. He has a chance to vindicate himself and that's all he or Red Sox Nation can ask for.
As for this weekend, LETS PLAY TWO!
