Pitching reigns for Sox, Tribe
Boston-- When the Boston Res Sox and Cleveland Indians last met,in July,
they accomplished a rarity in the contemporary game,back-to-back 1-0 games.
This may be an omen for the direction of the Amerecan League Champoinship
Series that opens on Friday night at Feneay Park. Of course after you say
soomething like that, the next score is 12-10.
But those two games clearly demonstrated two things. One is that, as good as
the offenses are for both clubs, the pitching in both directions can be
dominant enough to shut down anybody, even the strongest offensive club,
at any time, And those games illustrated that, when these two teams meet,
thepotential for classic coompetition clearly exists.
For the record, Boston won the first of those two games, with Daisuke Matsuzaka
getting the decision over C.C. Sabathia. Cleveland won the second game with
Fausto Carmona as the winning pither and Josh Beckett taking the loss.
The pitcking principals in those classic games will all be in action for this
series, although in different pairings. The Game1 matchup for the series will
be the two leading Cy Youhg Award candidates, Sabathia and Beckett. Carmona
will work in the second game against Curt Schilling, while Matszaka will start
Game 3 against Jake Westbrook.
Bur for those of us anticipationg some great baseball int he ALCS, those two
1-0 epics offer encouraging ecidence of what might be next.
For anyway gogo Red Sox 幫我們報仇
