The Boston Red Sox racked up another postseason victory against the Anaheim Angels to make it eleven straight playoff wins over the team. Another home rune by Jason Bay lead the Sox to an early lead the a two-run home run in the top of the ninth inning by J.D. Drew broke a 5-5 tie. The Sox went on to a 7-5 win and a 2-0 lead in the American League Divisional Series over the Angels. The series moves to Fenway Park Sunday for Game 3 Red Sox starter Josh Beckett and a possible three game sweep over the team with the best record in MLB’s 2008 regular season. The 2008 Boston Red Sox are proving to be just as exciting as previous versions.

Manny Ramirez is Tired of the Red Sox Front Office
Manny speaking about the Red Sox front office: “I’m tired of them - they’re tired of me.”
The Red Sox front office bean counters way back when got the deal of the century when they signed Manny Ramrez. Manny has always come through for the Red Sox, even after being put on waivers by the know it all wonderboy bean counters in the Red Sox front office. the front office dows not go out and produce runs or excite the fans, it is the players, the real people on the field day in and day out. This is not the way a team should treat a superstar who produces:
The Sox spanked him publicly Friday. For the first time. Outraged he would quit on them at the start of the Yankee series, they let him dangle in the breeze for all the world to see. Convinced he was lying about his right knee, they sent him for an MRI on both knees (in case Manny suddenly tried to claim it was the left knee). Then they made sure we all knew the MRIs were clean - getting word out before the end of the game. Late Friday, the club told him he’d be suspended if he refused to play Saturday - a sanction the Players Association would have grieved and won.

Manny Returns, Sox Still Lose to Yankees
After a heartbreaking 1-0 loss to the red-hot New York Yankees on Friday night, the Boston Red Sox dropped game two of their three series hosting the Yankees at Fenway Park.
Those two losses make game three of the series, a prime time Sunday night game scheduled to be broadcasted on ESPN, even more important.
A Sox loss will enable the Yankees to tie the Red Sox in the standings.
