Washburn is scheduled to pitch for us.
No one from ESPN picked us. It was all NY in 4 or 5. Then their excuse today was that the Yankees were tired from the travel. They hate the fact that there is no East Coast team in the ALCS. Now Chicago is closer to the East, that is their choice.
ESPN = Eastern Sports Propoganda Network
The reason the Angels were not favored is threefold...
1. You didnt have home field advantage.
2. W/O Colon your starting pitching doesn't stack up as well as the Sox.
3. The Sox swept a very strong Boston team who happen to be the defending World Champs. Anyone who watched that series and didn't think the Sox should be favored over LA is crazy. They played their asses off and proved they are for real.
The national media has no respect for either of these teams. Eventhough they are easily two of the top 3 teams in all of baseball along with St Louis.
Byrd pitched the game of his life last night and Shields and KRod we're amazing. With that said, I feel the Sox beat themselves last night. 2 mental errors lead to 2 runs and a small mistake by Contraras lead to Anderson's home run. Credit to the Halos though.....they did all the small things right...the Sox didnt.
Sox still taking it in 6.
