There were 2 major momentum shifts in the game.
The Sox started the game well, scoring 3, one in each of the first 3 innings, then Cle came on scoring 2, looked they would take control. Their momentum got killed on 1) bad call on Lofton being out at 2nd, and 2) in the 7th on Lofton not being sent home on a hit that bounced off the box in left.
In the 7th and 8th the ceiling fell in on them with the sox pouring it on. Main damage
Dustin 2-run homer in 7th, Dustin 3-run double in 8th, Youk 2-run homer in the 8th.
Games were closer than the scores in games 2 & 7.
Dustin comes up BIGGGG, so does Dice-K, Paps bails out Oki for the six out save. Win the series 4-3. Cleveland was a very worthy opponent. We'll see them again in future playoff series. Welcome Colorado. Will have a few thoughts on the ALCS, and World Series tomorrow. Too jacked to be coherent, now!
Well we've seen worse in 04.
Never had a winning streak greater than 5 all season, never had a losing streak more than 3 all season.
It's time to win,
Having said that Dice-k was not sharp and missed alot of his spots. Command might be going south due to fatigue catching up with him. This is the most number of innings that he has pitched.
