I thought that to myself in the present tense around the 3'rd inning when Beckett was standing on the mound with the bases loaded and they let him off the hook. I'm both happy and peeved that they won. I'm happy because it draws out the series and perhaps wears down Boston just a little bit more for the Rays (I think I've lost hope on the white sox despite them winning yesterday). I'm peeved because the universal laws of fairness dictated that the angels shouldn't have been allowed to cheaply win that game the way they ended up doing. If those laws dictate the red sox sweep the angels and advance, I'm all down for that. Most of the time though, baseball is as fair as life and you're just left as a fan to live with it.

In all fairness, Boston's first 3 runs weren't entirely fair either. It would have sucked for LA had that score held up.
maybe i'm injecting too much of game 4 into it, but it seemed that the angels just didn't make little plays they should have made the entire series. Beckett was at his worst in game 3 and the angels should have been all over him. You just can't win if you can't take advantage of stuff like that.
My hat's off to Beckett because he didn't have his best stuff but he battled.
Aybar was channeling Steve Sax at second base.
Maybe I'm just overcompensating for kinda rooting against the sox hehe.
Puck's interest has waned a bit. She gets bored if the game lasts too long and gave up on watching the angels/sox game around 9pm or so our time.
and she asks me the score the next morning before she leaves...
