The End

Game 3 - American League Division Series

Angels 7, Red Sox 6
Angels win, 3-0

Not a ton to say, really. The Sox were beaten decisively by a team that played a lot better from the beginning of this series to the end. Sure, the last inning yesterday was hard to watch, but it felt a lot like a foregone conclusion. Fittingly for me after a season in which my baseball-related attention span was negatively impacted a dozen different ways, I turned the television on in time to watch that final frame meltdown and nothing else.

I suppose it's a measure of both my maturity and the complacency that comes with a pair of championships that my reaction was more a rueful shrug than destruction of property. More of the latter, for certain.

Valedictory to come as we exit stage left hoping that misery has plenty of company in a week or so.

Sorry about the outcome Rob

I'm watching the Phillies take out Martinez too early and pay dearly. I couldn't help but recall 2003ALCSG7.

The more I see what the Phillies' bullpen did this inning, the more I understand Grady Little. It is a real tough decision to take out your best starting pitcher at the gosh darn end of the season to "save his arm". Save it for what?

Martinez was lifted for a pinch hitter, while leading in the game.
