And the Red Sox have another day to get Brady ready for Game 3 at Fenway, so we've got that going for us!

The Jays sweep surprised me, to be honest. The Rangers made a few good trades before the deadline and were very strong closing out the season. But Toronto is turning it on when it counts, at least so far.

I also figured Boston would be able to eliminate Cleveland, but it's not looking that way now. Remarkable how David Price is so snakebit in the playoffs.

won three straight to take the 2007 ALCS.

I have confidence Francona manages a better series than Eric Wedge, however.

Could be a lot of runs scored at Fenway.

Looking forward to Arrieta vs. Mad Bum. That should be a real pitching showdown.
