And yea, the Pepto will flow like water
On the one hand, last night's Sox loss to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, California in the United States of America (I think that's their full name now, right? Ed. Note: AHH! I swear that I wrote this before reading Soxaholix today!) was a heartbreaker. Even in the bottom of the 9th, being down three just didn't feel like much of a deficit--especially once the bases were loaded with Petagine (whose numbers are respectable) at the plate. So yeah, it sucked when the magic failed to happen. On the other hand, the Sox played some great ball. Matt Clement pitched a great game. He just didn't have any run support from the Sox bats which have been running a little cold lately.
On the whole though, the Sox definitely look like they're getting into postseason shape. It's too early to say whether Theo's decision around the trade deadline to leave the pitching staff where it was, and let them work out their own kinks is going to pay off, but things are already looking better than I thought they would at the time.
Of course, one sure way to tell that the post-season is imminent is the miracle of proprioception. Personally, I always know the Fall Classic is drawing near when I start vibrating during the games. Also, I may've broken my hat when Millar struck out last night.
I forget who we're playing this weekend, but I bet it won't be very dramatic, whoever it is.
