Red Sox Are Ridin' High in Texas

Can we start the playoffs now? The Red Sox are, to quote Obama, "fired up, and ready to go." Tonight's game was filled with good news; lets start with the return of Beckett and Lowell. Josh Beckett pitched 5 scoreless innings with 4 hits, no walks and 7 K's. You can't ask for much more than that. As for Mike Lowell, he did not miss a beat. In the second inning he put the Red Sox on the board with a home run and went 3-5 with 4 RBI's on the night. The bottom of Boston's order continued to stay hot with Tek going 2-4 and Coco going 3-5 while driving in 3. All this and the Rays lost tonight.
