The second season starts tonight….out in La La Land…sort of. I don’t know whether to call them the 1) Los Angeles Angels, 2) California Angels 3) Anaheim Angels or….4) Red Sox Nemesis, which they certainly have been this season.
The Sox are 1-8 against the Angels, winning only the first game of the series. Josh Beckett is out with an injury. Mike Lowell is out…J.D. Drew is out. Julio Lugo is out (which is actually a net plus with Lowery in his place) How far the Sox will go is the HUGE question as the series starts on the West Coast tonight.
Jon Lester gets the nod—and I think he’ll have a big game. Josh may be ready for Game 3 in Boston-and Mike Lowell will find a way to get into this series as well.
Boston is a decided underdog in this matchup—and that may be a good thing. The Angels have had their division wrapped up for so long, there hasn’t been a “pressure game” in their schedule all year----until TONIGHT.
With playoff experience and the cache of coming in as defending World Series Champs, we’ll see if the Angels will hold up…..Tampa Bay will have its hands full with the White Sox.
I say we’ll win Tonight, lose Friday and then take TWO at Fenway….Red Sox win!!! Bring It On!!!!
