Ninth Inning Threat (Oct 07 2008 04:16 GMT)
Kendry Morales leads off the ninth against Masterson with a double off the Green Monster. Reggie Willits pinch runs, and Kendrick bunts him to third base with one out. The Red Sox are making a pitching change, bringing in Delcarmen....
Hunter and Hunted (Oct 07 2008 03:56 GMT)
Torii Hunter comes up in the top of the eighth with two on and two out (that seems to be the Angels prefered situation). A passed ball puts both runners in scoring position. Update: The Torii, Torii chant doesn't work...
Nothing But Singles (Oct 07 2008 03:08 GMT)
Singles by Kotsay and Varitek put runners on first and third with one out. All the hits so far in the game are of the one base variety, the main reason all these runners are being left on base. Update:...
Two More On (Oct 07 2008 02:55 GMT)
One-out singles by Erick Aybar and Chone Figgins puts two more runners on for the Angels. The teams are getting men on, but neither are getting the third hit to drive in a run. Garret Anderson grounds into a force...
Red Sox Threaten (Oct 07 2008 02:42 GMT)
David Ortiz singles, then Youkilis grounds to Figgins. Chone throws wide inside to second, and all hands are safe. Two on, one out for the Red Sox as the Angels fielding may hurt them again. Update: A long fly ball...
Playoff Chat (Oct 07 2008 02:35 GMT)

Two More Runners (Oct 07 2008 02:17 GMT)
Figgins singles with one out and Teixeira walks with two out to bring up Vlad Guererro in the top of the third. Update: After fouling off a ton of balls, Guerrero takes two balls to even the count. He then...

Two on for the Sox (Oct 07 2008 02:07 GMT)
Like the Angels, the Red Sox put two on with a single and a walk in the second. Kotsay, however, grounds into a double play to end the inning. Lester is at 28 pitches, Lackey 26. Given the length of...
Two on With Two Out (Oct 07 2008 01:57 GMT)
Mike Napoli walks and Juan Rivera singles with two out to give Howie Kendrick a chance to drive in a run. Update: Kendrick strikes out to end the inning. He's batting .133 with no walks, HBP or extra-base hits.
Underway at Fenway (Oct 07 2008 01:39 GMT)
Chone Figgins grounds out to second to start game 4 of the Red Sox/Angels series. Update: Garret Anderson strikes out. Update: Mark Teixeira grounds out to second and Lester retires the side in order.

Paul DePodesta discusses what the Padres look for in a pitcher....
LCS Rays (Oct 07 2008 01:21 GMT)
The Tampa Bay Rays finish off the White Sox, taking the series three games to one. Coming into this series, the Rays offense was better at getting on base, but the White Sox held the superior sluggers. Tampa Bay, however,...
Start of the Dozen (Oct 06 2008 05:30 GMT)
Mike Napoli singles against Javier Lopez. Kendrick bunts him over and the Angels have a runner in scoring position in the top of the 12th inning. Update: Erick Aybar pops one into short centerfield for a hit and an RBI....
Rare Walk (Oct 06 2008 05:05 GMT)
With one out in the 11th, Mark Teixeira draws a walk from Papelbon. Vlad follows with a single up the middle. Men on first and second, one out. Update: Hunter flies out to right, bringing up Gary Matthews.
Extra Frames (Oct 06 2008 04:26 GMT)
Jonathan Papelbon comes in to start the tenth against the bottom of the order, 8-9-1. Update: The Angels go down 1-2-3, Figgins striking out looking on a perfect pitch on the low, outside corner. The 2-3-4 hitters are due for...
Bottom of the Ninth (Oct 06 2008 04:19 GMT)
J.D. Drew pinch hits against Shields to start the inning. Shields already retired four batters and strikes out Drew. That's three K in five batters for Shields.
Hunter Gunned Down (Oct 06 2008 04:11 GMT)
Torii Hunter hits a ball past Lowell leading off the ninth, but Jason Bay makes a perfect throw to second to nail Hunter going for a double. Another mistake by the Angels tonight. Update: Napoli's bat shatters and nearly takes...
Vlad-K (Oct 06 2008 04:01 GMT)
After Teixeira singles with two out, Justin Masterson comes in to face Vlad in the top of the eighth. Vlad works the count to 3-2, fouls off ball four, then swings and misses to end the inning. The Red Sox...
Ellsbury On (Oct 06 2008 03:32 GMT)
Jacoby Ellsbury saves the Angels fielders any more embarrassment by drawing a walk leading off the bottom of the seventh. Update: With one out and Ortiz up, Ellsbury can't hold second on the steal and gets tagged out to clear...
Napoli Plunked (Oct 06 2008 03:21 GMT)
Manny Delcarmen retires the first four Angels he faces, then hits Napoli. Despite home runs in his previous two at bats, it looked like the hit was an accident. Kendrick singles to right to put runners at 1st and 2nd...
Quote of the Day (Oct 06 2008 03:00 GMT)
TNT interrupted Titanic to show the start of the Red Sox game. Metstradamus wonders: If TNT had interrupted Titanic with a regular season Mets game, would anyone have known the difference?...
A Bit of History (Oct 06 2008 02:35 GMT)
Jacoby Ellsbury's three-run single was the first three-run single in postseason history. Update: As I wrote that, Ellsbury hits one deep to left that ticks of Garret Anderson's glove for a double. Anderson looked a bit tentative going for the...
TB Napoli (Oct 06 2008 02:26 GMT)
Mike Napoli takes Josh Beckett deep again, this time into the Monster Seats for eight total bases on the game. The solo shot gives the Angels a 4-3 lead in the top of the fifth. Mike increased his power this...
Beckett's Blunder (Oct 06 2008 02:08 GMT)
Josh Beckett is a bit late covering first on a grounder with two out. That puts Angels at first and second for Vlad in the top of the fourth. We'll see if Beckett's mistake is as serious as the dropped...
