Well, we now have a day off, then Josh Beckett pitches on full rest to save the season in Game Five Thursday night.
If you need to beat Jake Westbrook and Paul Byrd to save your season, and you can't, then you're not a World Series team. It's not impossible for us to win three straight and move on- anyone who lived through 2004 can tell you that. But it's darned hard.
If the Indians do lose this, though, it's an agonizing choke for them.
Game One was a win-we got to Sabathia, then stomped around the bullpen, and Beckett was masterful. Game Two was a tossup-we got into extra innings tied, and after that, it's kind of a tossup. That kind of loss hurts, but not so bad. Games Three and Four we got throttled by inferior pitchers-and there really isn't any excuse for that kind of thing. Neither one was really a blowout, but the Indians pitched well enough to win, so you have to tip your hat to them,
We shall see....
I wrote another nasty note to my representative about his failure to override the SCHIP veto. Billions of dollars for Halliburton, but not one cent for sick kids. Nice policy, guys.
