Red Sox win, 8-3

Second helping (Boston.com)

The score makes it seem like this game was a blowout. It was anything but with these two teams fighting neck-and-neck until Boston's 4-run 9th, sealing Anaheim's fate.

I stand by my predictions. I also wish that game didn't go until 2 in the morning, or that I could have gone to bed knowing that I'd wake up to a Boston win. It's not hard to remember that nothing is certain in Red Sox nation.

The 5th inning in particular was rather nasty. When I turned it off I was not expecting a Boston win based on that inning's performance.

I also thank the heavens that the Yankees game was the 7 o'clock one. 12 freaking innings!

The Red Sox sure are a scrappy team. But when they score, it normally comes all at once.
