Now keep in mind that is 161 to eliminate the Blue Jays and the Orioles, who also are 1-0.
The magic number to eliminate the winless Rays and Yankees is 160.
We went into today wondering about Josh Beckett...
And he gave us Sox fans 7 innings, 1 run and 10 strikeouts.
We went into today wondering about Ortiz's swing. He singled and walked.
We went into day wondering if there was anything left in Lowell's tank. He drove in a run today.
We went into today wondering about Drew's swing. He doubled home a run.
We went into today wondering if Varitek was an automatic out. He homered.
We didn't wonder about Pedroia, Youkilis nor Papelbon.
Pedroia homered, Youk got a pair of hits and scored and Papelbon threw a perfect ninth for the save.
Now, of course it's only one game. And praising a team after one game is as crazy as burying them after one, except for one thing:
This is a game against a division rival. Win these games now and there's no need to catch up later.
Besides, I'd rather say "Don't get too excited" rather than "Don't get too depressed!"
161... and counting.
