Red Sox Force Game 7 in ALCS by Topping Rays

There's going to be a seventh game to decide which American League team goes to the World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Boston Red Sox beat Tampa Bay 4-2 to even the American League Championship Series at three games apiece.

I believe the Red Sox will win tonight. The pitching matchup tonight is awesome. Jon Lester facing Matt Garza. I think both starts again may leave to a pair of No Decisions, but the bullpens will decide this game. That favors Boston.

Watch Game Seven Of The American League Championship Series tonight on TBS.

Red Sox win Game Two Of the 2007 World Series 2-1

There's more than one way to rough up the Rockies.

Boston's big bats battered them in the World Series opener. Then October ace Curt Schilling and a stingy bullpen shut down Colorado in Game 2.
Relying more on guile than pure gas, Schilling pitched Boston to a 2-1 victory Thursday night and a 2-0 lead in the World Series over the suddenly stagnant Rockies.

Lowell hit a tiebreaking double in the fifth and the Red Sox got 3 2-3 innings of shutout relief from Hideki Okajima and Jonathan Papelbon to win their sixth straight Series game, including a sweep of St. Louis in 2004.

That victory ended an 86-year title drought and set off a wild winter of celebrations all over New England. Two more wins this year and the party's on again.

The Series shifts to spacious Coors Field for Game 3 on Saturday night, when $103 million rookie Daisuke Matsuzaka pitches for Boston against Josh Fogg.

With no designated hitter allowed, the Red Sox must decide whether to play hobbling slugger David Ortiz at first base or leave his mighty bat on the bench.

If they keep getting this kind of pitching, it might not matter.

Game Three of the 2007 World Series is Saturday Night on Fox.
