Is this item a repeat of one that we posted twice last week? Sorta. Because we feel the same. Woo-hoo!, as Blur might sing. The Red Sox are now not just two up - when we got all giddy last week - but have won the ALDS, with yet another needles-and-pi ns game, this one won in the ninth by a Jason Bay (in photo) bloop double and a Jed Lowrie single that snuck throught the right side. With a big thanks to the Angels in the top of the ninth for the not-a-safety-squeeze/not-a-suicide-squeeze play. We were at Fenway watching from the third base grandstands Monday night with jaw-dropping fascination as the immortal Reggie Willits ran half-way down the line, stopped, and Erick Aybar missed the bunt. We watched Jason Varitek clunk and clang his way up the baseline, "chasing" the speedy Willits back to the base (Throw the damn ball, 'Tek, throw it!) only to finally tag him, something the Angels protested rather vehemently, as the ball trickled out of 'Tek's mitt after the tag. Did he hold it long enough? Well, it's all over now, baby blue. And, Red Sox Nation has two more full days of not worrying about a thing. Everybody will be rested and ready in Tampa on Friday. And here's where we remind to take advantage of this weeknight down-time. You do not have to glued to TV into the wee hours. Yes, you can do something else. Something, not baseball-related. There are options below and remember man/woman does not live by Sox alone.
