Red Sox Done

White Sox 5, Red Sox 3.

And just the like, the Red Sox were swept in the American League Division Series, 3-0. The White Sox will go against either the New York Yankees or the Anaheim/Los Angeles Angels (their series is tied at 1-1).

I had lunch a few days ago with a great Red Sox friend. Boston had just lost the first game of the ALDS to Chicago. We both shared the sentiment that last year's World Series victory gave us the ability to take this in stride. There's a comfort in knowing that nothing that happens this year can take away what happened last year.

Red Sox 4, White Sox 5

David Wells pitched 6 2/3 innings, but gave up five runs. The winning pitcher, Mark Buehrle, went 7 innings. He gave up 4 early runs, but settled down after the third inning.

It's a short series. If we lose the next one, we're done. At least the next game is at Fenway.

Red Sox 2, White Sox 14

Well. All I have to say is that David Wells is pitching tomorrow.

Red Sox Are In

Now that the Red Sox are in the American League Division Series playoffs against the Chicago White Sox, I can rest easy until the games start (on Tuesday).
