One run in eighteen innings does not a Championship make. In fact, the Red Sox are in danger of seeing a highly productive season fall by the wayside unless they can muster two more home wins this long Columbus Day week-end.
After being shutout on Thursday night, Boston allowed the highly annoying Jared Weaver to "spin" a gem--collecting only 4 hits for the second consecutive game. Only Jacoby Ellsbury (2 hits including a ringing triple) and Victor Martinez (the lone RBI) were able to solve the slingshotting right-hander.
And Josh Beckett, playing with the same left side of the infield he had in Florida's 2003 championship run, wasn't able to deliver enough--especially during a 3-run 7th inning.
So, it's all or nothing on Sunday at High Noon for young Clay Buchholz. For Terry Francona, there may not be enough Bigelow Green Tea in the world to calm his nerves.
