ALCS Game 1: Rout: Red Sox 10, Indians 3
Bottom 3rd: After taking a 1-1 tie into the third, it's obvious that C.C. Sabathia doesn't have much. He can't get his changeup over the plate for strikes; he's loaded the bases twice in this inning alone, and has hit David Ortiz (really, grazed his uniform), walked Manny Ramirez to force in a run, given up an RBI ground rule double to Mike Lowell, and a scoring groundout to third to Jason Varitek. By the time he finally escapes, Sabathia has already thrown 61 pitches. 5-1 Boston.
Day the next: I was hoping this was going to turn interesting, but it turned into a rout just after we left for dinner. All this game did was to cement Josh Beckett's reputation as a big game pitcher, put the Red Sox one game closer to advancing to the World Series, and make me think this could turn out to be the most boring postseason ever. A Red Sox/Rockies World Series would be over with in a trice (i.e., four games), and yuck.
