Gotta take it one game at a time. Beckett goes Thursday and I believe he will win and get it back to Fenway where I like the Sox odds. Sox in seven.

Been rather marginal the second half of the year although Wakefield was doing well until he got pulled. If he hadn’t screwed with that batted ball he’s out of the inning.
Cleveland is a team that once they get an opening they don’t let up. The Sox lack that fire.
