Sox-Angels 2007 ALDS...it's o-v-a

I would be remiss if I didn't comment on the recently completed ALDS between the Red Sox and the Angels.

Sweep.

Three games, three Sox victories. To use the phrase Angry Bill made famous in "Still We Believe", "it's ova, o-v-a, ova".

Fine with me. It'll be just fine to see Josh Beckett throw in game 1 of the ALCS, thank you. The Angels looked down coming into the game and looked completely flat after the back-to-back homers by Papi and Manny. So much for small ball.

As for the other ALDS, there seemed to be three general schools of thought: those that wanted to face the Yankees in the ALCS, those who didnt, and those that were intentionally and consciously neutral. Well, the argument has become moot as of last night, as the mighty Yankees were sent home after the first round of playoffs for the 4th consecutive year. Sorry fellas. Anybody need a manager?

Next stop, ALCS game 1. Bring it, CC.
