STEP ONE: For the fourth time in the past six years, the Red Sox have advanced to the ALCS, following the team's exciting victory last night over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Last night's game featured a thrilling run-down by Jason Varitek in the top of the ninth after a failed suicide squeeze. In the bottom of the ninth, rookie Jed Lowrie singled home Jason Bay with the winning run.
The whole series was exciting! Games One and Four featured impressive pitching duels between Jon Lester and John Lackey, with Lester being slightly better each time. In both of those games, unsung hero Jason bay contributed key hits. Game Two was won when often-injured and much-maligned J.D. Drew hit a 2-run home run in the ninth. In Game Three, the Angels' lone victory came in extra innings and featured the hitting heroics of Mike Napoli.
It's on to Tampa on Friday for the valiant Boston team.
