Beckett... What Happened? Can We Rebound?

(Deep Breath)... I thought we had this thing locked up. Beckett came out flat last night. He wasn't throwing any first-pitch strikes, he was getting behind on hitters and allowing them to get on base. Not to mention allowing Napoli. Who you ask? Yeah Napoli cranked not one, but TWO big flies over deep left and left-center. If it wasn't for the total break down in center field for the Halos, there was a chance that we were out of that game real early.

Hats off go to the Red Sox for sticking to it. We got the bats going, sporatically which allowed them to stay. The bullpens for both teams were great. Oki, Masterson, Pap, and even Lopez pitched very well. It really was just a matter of time before someone caught a break and it fell with the Halos.

Tonight the series gets interesting as it stays in Fenway, but now the Halos are on a bit of a high... Let's see how well Lester calms them down. Let's also hope that Pedroia and Ortiz come alive and begin to hit the ball. Our entire line-up is wacking it except them. We cannot continue to count on sporatic hitting in hopes that we can hold them. The Angels will find a way to win, just as they did last night.

But what can I say? Welcome to October baseball. It would not be any fun if every series was a sweep, right?... Although I would have wished for it in this case. Catch you bloggers after the game.
