I guess this series goes to show you that the regular season doesn't really matter. The Angles had the best record in the American League, its just that when the playoffs came around, they sort of choked (not quite choking though, what the Cubs did was choking.) They were terrible with runners in scoring position and made enough mistakes to give the Red Sox a chance to pull away, and tonight in game four, the Angles made an error which did cost them the game. In the top of the ninth inning, with a man on third and one out, the Angels try a suicide squeeze to score the guy, a very risky play. But on this particular squeeze, the batter MISSED the ball when he tried to bunt. As a batter, you HAVE to AT LEAST make contact in that situation. You HAVE to. After missing the ball, Varitek ran after the guy running from third and tagggayed him out.

And from there, the Red Sox capitalized. Jason Bay doubled, and Jed Lowrie singled him in. The Sox won 3-2. It does suck that Masterson squandered an amazing pitching performance by Jon Lester though, but a win is a win right? I am really glad that I'm not going to have to stay up late to watch a game 5, and that the next series is going to be all East Coast times.

Go Red Sox! Beat those damn Rays.
