Sox Lose Game 1 to Angels.

Not much went right for the Bean Eaters last night. Lester didn't have his best stuff, but really only had one major mistake, the three run homer to Torii Hunter. I'm more concerned with the Sox bats actually. To me, they haven't looked good in months, and last night they looked lost.

Yes, the Sox had to overcome two bad calls at first base. Only one resulted in a run, but it effectively put the game away. But again, it's the offense that really looks terrible at this point. Give credit to Lackey, who is a very good pitcher and was excellent last night. The Sox will have an early exit if all they can manage is four harmless singles each game.

Perhaps Beckett can summon some more post season magic tonight. Going home 0-2 will almost certainly spell doom for Boston in spite of their history of comebacks.
