Game Story: Sox Sweep Angels!
Not the type of medical help the ailing Angels were looking for.
Let's be honest kids. In a game that was clearly a battle of wits and cojones with Dr. Curtly, is there any chance someone with the last name Weaver could've won? No? Good, we're agreed then. Say what you will about the man's politics or decisions to speak sometimes, but he's absolutely balls-out in these situations.
While Schill was doing his thing, Papi and "Being" did theirs: hitting HRs. They put up back-to-back jacks in the 4th inning to give the Sox a 2-0 lead that they'd never relinquish.
After Schilling left in the 7th, the Sox decided to provide some cushion for the 'pen. A Lugo BB, DP 2B, Youks SF, Papi 1B, "Being" BB (replaced by Yagoboy), Lowell 2B, Drew FC, 'Tek 2B, Crisp 1B later, the game had been broken open to a 9-0 score.
Eric Gagne came in to finish off the game, and proved why he's such a trusted man for those 9-run leads. 9-1 Final, and your Red Sox will begin the ALCS at Fenway on Friday.
Oh what. Do you want a celebration photo or something?

Torre.
What'll be really disgusting is all the stories tomorrow about how Steinbrenner motivated Torre and the Yankees. How about saying that the Yankees were able to hit well against a non-Sabathia/Carmona pitcher, at home, with their young almost/possible ace pitching some great innings in relief to secure the win? Not as sensational, but at least it's true.

Sooner than you think. ESPN's "experts" are already troweling out that bovine excrement.

Re: Game Story: Sox Sweep Angels!
Anyway, Mussina's turn... and if the MFY win that, THEN perhaps Wang will return to the scene of his crime (12-3 loss in Game 1)

Pitching Changes... Again...
Wang, as you'll recall, had a disastrous start in Game 1, the 12-3 loss.
I wonder why Mussina's not getting the ball?

Re: Pitching Changes... Again...
In addition, fatigue generally causes a pitcher to miss "up", which I think could hurt a sinkerball pitcher significantly. I guess the question there is whether he ends up entering the game already somewhat fatigued due to short rest.
Definitely better than Mussina though.

Re: Game Story: Sox Sweep Angels!
I don't know if anyone else saw it...
He was pale white, and rather, well, disgusting.
Sunken eyes and everything.
He looked even worse compared to his lively looking counterpart.
He should definitely be paid some ungodly amount of money for next year.
Because he's THAT amazing.
Tee hee.
