- I was more than a little worried when Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz, and Kevin Youkilis failed to drive in Jacoby Ellsbury in the first inning after the center fielder led off with a double.
- That was a very nice Manny Ramirez impersonation by Jason Bay. The sixth inning homerun was all the Red Sox offense would need.
- Justin Masterson, who I expect great things from this October (and in the future), was bailed out by Ellsbury and Vlad Guerrero in the eighth. Hey, you have to have some kind of luck to win a World Series.
- Jason Varitek is no longer a threat at the plate but his perfectly placed sacrifice bunt in the ninth led to a two-run inning for the Sox and gave closer Jonathan Papelbon a comfortable three-run lead when he came on to close out the victory.
- Jon Lester ... WOW!
It looks like it will be a looooooong winter on the North Side of Chicago...
Milwaukee, I hoped you enjoyed CC Sabathia while it lasted...
Evan Longoria doesn't look like he will be rattled too much by the playoffs...
Randy Moss has not been the All-Pro he was a year ago and the injury to Tom Brady is obviously the main reason for this. I expect that to change, beginning with the 49ers on Sunday...
Enjoy Paul Connor tonight...
