Yes, this championship ‘feels a little different’
By Bill Ballou
TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF
DENVER — Red Sox fans
finally know how Jed
Clampett must have felt
when he fired his shotgun at
the Ozark mud one day and up
through the ground come a
bubblin’ crude.
From the abject emotional
poverty of 86 springs, summers
and falls of desperate disappointment
and impossible
frustration, the Sox and their
fans have come full circle.
After winning the World Series
in 2004, Boston has run the
table in 2007, taking the American
League East title, the
American League pennant and,
once again, the World Series.
The Sox’ recent record is
four playoff appearances in the
last five years, 10 straight years
with a won-lost above .500, and
two world championships in
four years, something that had
not happened in Boston since
the 1910s, and something that
had not happened in baseball
since the Yankees finished
their most recent domination
of the game from 1996 to 2000.
The Red Sox are not just the
best team in baseball these
days. They are the best organization
in the business, too.
They are not quite yet the Yankees,
but they are on their way.
“It feels a little different,
yes,” said general manager
Theo Epstein, awash in champagne,
as he was asked to look
back to 2004. “This feels like it
was a top-to-bottom organizational
effort. We worked hard
to get here, and we have the
feeling that we can compete at
a high level for a long period of
time, but baseball has a way of
humbling you.”
Epstein’s ownership has the
second-deepest pockets in the
American League, and while
payroll can get a team to the
playoffs these days, it guarantees
nothing in the postseason.
The Red Sox team that swept
the Rockies was a hybrid, a
mix of veterans and rookies,
free agents and farm system
kids.
Jon Lester started Game 4
and Jonathan Papelbon finished
it off. When Papelbon
blew a fastball past Seth Smith
to end it, draft choice Kevin
Youkilis was playing first base,
draft choice Dustin Pedroia
was at second base, and draft
choice Jacoby Ellsbury was in
left field, just having robbed
Jamie Carroll of at least a
double. Watching from the
bench was draft choice Manny
Delcarmen, who had gotten a
big out to end the sixth after
Lester ran out of gas.
“With the guys we have in
the clubhouse here,” said
Papelbon, “we have an opportunity
to be in (the playoffs) year
after year, but we play in the
toughest division in baseball.”
While third baseman Mike
Lowell was named World
Series MVP, and it was a valid
choice, Papelbon was just as
deserving. He saved the Red
Sox’ last three victories and got
the final five outs of Game 4
even though he looked pitched
out.
Which he was, actually.
The normally ebullient
Papelbon sat on the edge of a
table in the clubhouse and
spoke quietly of his, and his
team’s, victory.
“I’m spent, man,” he said.
“I’m exhausted. For once, I’m
at a loss for words. The whole
World Series took it out of me.
We had to come into this stadium
and scratch and claw to
get these wins.”
Papelbon’s rookie teammate,
Ellsbury, saved him some
major grief when he went back
to the wall in left and robbed
Carroll of what looked like a
potential home run when the
ball left the bat.
“I didn’t think it was out,”
Papelbon said. “I thought it
was a double, off the wall.”
The reliever remembered
very little about the last pitch
of the 2007 season, a high fastball
that Smith swung right
through. “He swung and missed.
That’s all I know,” Papelbon
said. He did remember
throwing his glove high in the
air after Strike Three, but
doesn’t know what happened to
it.
“I don’t know if anyone’s
found it yet,” he said. “I’m
hoping one of the (clubhouse
attendants) got it.”
Not far from Papelbon,
Pedroia stepped in front of a
TV camera, began speaking,
and was drenched with bubbly.
“I’m just soaking it all in,” he
said, and was literally doing
that. “I’m really happy for
some of older guys here who
have never experienced this.”
Two older guys who had
experienced it in 2004 were
Jason Varitek and Mike Timlin.
Timlin stood at his locker,
clutching the World Series
trophy, and Varitek crept up
on him, sprayed him with
champagne, and hollered, “You
old goat. You old goat.”
Timlin replied, “I love you,
Tek,” and handed over the
trophy.
Manager Terry Francona,
who pushed the right buttons
at the right time the way he
used Papelbon, and stuck with
Pedroia through a dreadful
April and May, and put Ellsbury
in the starting lineup just
in time to jump-start the
offense in the ALCS, was asked
about the young players he was
surrounded with and said simply,
“It’s a source of pride.”
No fans in baseball know
better than Red Sox fans how,
as Epstein said, humbling the
sport can be. They were humbled
for 86 long years — almost
fourscore and seven — and
now they and their team are on
top of the baseball world for the
second time in four years.

DENVER — Ten postseason
victories down, one to go for another
world championship.
Daisuke Matsuzaka pitched
and hit the Red Sox to an early
lead, then Boston held on
through some scary middle
innings to beat the Colorado
Rockies, 10-5.
The victory, in Game 3 of the
2007 World Series, means that
the Sox can sweep the Rockies
and win their second championship
in four years — and
seventh in franchise history —
with a victory here in Game 4.
Matsuzaka got the win to
improve to 2-1 for the postseason.
He has won his last two
starts.
Matsuzaka went the first 5 1 ⁄3
innings and left with a 6-0 lead.
Two of the runs came on his
two-out single with the bases
loaded in the third, when Boston
scored its first six runs. The
hit was the first by a Boston
pitcher in the World Series
since 1975, when Bill Lee singled
in Game 7, and the RBIs
were the first by a Sox pitcher
since Jose Santiago homered in
the first game of the 1967 World
Series
The Boston offense was paced
by the top of the order, consisting
of two rookies, Jacoby Ellsbury
and Dustin Pedroia. They
combined to go 7 for 10 with four
doubles, three by Ellsbury. The
two players were the first rookies
to bat one-two in World
Series history. The Sox had 15
hits overall.
After wasting chances in the
first two innings, the Red Sox
erupted for six runs and seven
hits in the third. Boston sent 11
batters to the plate, marking
the sixth time in this postseason
the Sox have batted around.
Ellsbury had two doubles in the
OCTOBER 27
inning, becoming only the second
player ever to double twice
in one inning in the World
Series.
Matt Williams did it for the
Diamondbacks in 2001.
David Ortiz also had a double
in the inning while Pedroia,
Mike Lowell, Jason Varitek and
Matsuzaka had singles. Both
Lowell and Matsuzaka’s hits
came with the bases loaded.
Josh Fogg, who started for the
Rockies, was lifted after 2 2 ⁄3
innings. He was charged with
the first six Boston runs.
Matsuzaka, for the fourth
time in his four post-season
starts, could not get past the
sixth inning. He pitched shutout
baseball through five and got
Matt Holliday on a ground ball
to begin the sixth. Matsuzaka
then walked both Todd Helton
and Garrett Atkins as the Rockies
began their comeback
against a faltering Sox bullpen.
Manager Terry Francona
called for lefty Javier Lopez,
who has been terrible throughout
the postseason, and Lopez
pitched to just two batters. Both
of them, Brad Hawpe and Yorvit
Torrealba, singled as Colorado
cut the Boston lead to 6-2. That
was it for Lopez, with Mike Timlin
coming on. Timlin got out of
the inning without allowing another
run, but was lucky to do so
as the Rockies made two outs on
hard hit balls.
Colorado kept hammering
away in the bottom of the seventh,
though, and got Timlin out
of the game quickly.
Kaz Matsui began the rally
with a bunt single, dropping one
down the third base line perfectly.
He then stole second
base, and Troy Tulowitzki
moved Matsui over to third base
with a single to center field.
Daisuke Matsuzaka delivers a two-run single in the third inning.
Timlin left the game and on
came Hideki Okajima, who had
pitched brilliantly in relief in
the Game 2.
This time was different,
though. With Holliday at the
plate, Okajima made a throw
over to first base, then served up
a fat pitch that Holliday drove
way over the fence in center for
a three-run homer that made it a
6-5 game. Okajima was able to
keep it a one-run game, though,
and Boston rallied for three off
Brian Fuentes in the eighth.
Julio Lugo, who earlier had
made two superb defensive
plays to help his pitchers out of
trouble, got things going with a
one-out walk. Coco Crisp singled
to center to move Lugo up to
second base, then Ellsbury
lofted a high fly ball down the
right field line that managed to
land just fair for a two-run
double.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Pedroia then drove in Ellsbury
with a double of his own
and Boston had gotten its lead
back to 9-5.
Manny Delcarmen came on
and got two outs in the eighth
before putting two men on base.
Jonathan Papelbon relieved at
that point and got Holliday to fly
out to left on one pitch.
Boston added another run in
the ninth on Varitek’s sacrifice
fly.

WORLD SERIES GAME 2: RED SOX 2, ROCKIES 1
Schilling sharp, Boston completes home sweep
By Paul Jarvey
TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF Red Sox 2, Rockies 1
Colorado AB R H BI BB SO Avg.
BOSTON — The weather was
football-like, but the score
finally wasn’t.
The result was the same as
each game in the last week,
though, another Boston Red
Sox win.
The Sox picked up their fifth
straight postseason victory and
sixth consecutive World Series
win by edging the Colorado
Rockies, 2-1, in a tense game
played out before the usual full
house at Fenway Park.
The Sox now lead the Series
two games to none with the
action moving to the highlands
of Denver.
The Sox make the trip knowing
that the last
six teams and
12 of the last 13
who have been
2-0 have gone
on to win the
Series.
“We have to
approach the
things the
same way as
we have,” said
Jason Varitek,
who knocked in Boston’s first
run with a sacrifice fly. “We
have to go out there and try to
outplay them.”
Curt Schilling, who had been
hammered (9 hits, 6 runs in 5
innings) by these Rockies when
he faced them in June, picked
up his third win of the playoffs.
He’s 11-2 in his career in the
postseason, and his .846 winning
percentage is the best in
history.
Schilling, who may have
pitched his last game with the
Sox, was hardly the only story.
Hideki Okajima and
Jonathan Papelbon shut out the
Rockies for the final 3 2 ⁄3 innings,
‘ We have to go
out there and try
‚
to outplay them.
JASON VARITEK
RED SOX CATCHER
OCTOBER 25
striking out six batters along
the way.
Okajima pitched 2 1 ⁄3 innings,
getting four strikeouts, including
the last three batters he
faced. After seeming to hit a
wall in September, Okajima is
now on a run of 9 2 ⁄3 scoreless
innings in the playoffs. He’s given
up just six hits in that span.
Papelbon allowed a single to
Matt Holliday, who had four of
the Rockies’ five hits, with two
outs in the eight, then picked
him off first. He then pitched a
1-2-3 ninth, striking out Brad
Hawpe and Todd Helton, to pick
up his second save of the postseason.
“It was definitely
a lot different
feeling
(pitching in
such a tight,
low-scoring
game),” Papelbon
said. “I
had to keep my
emotions in
check, and I
pitch on emotion,
there’s no
doubt about that.”
After scoring in double figures
for three straight games,
the Sox managed just six hits.
Mike Lowell knocked in the
winning run with a double in
the fifth. It came with two outs,
which should not be a surprise
to anyone. The Sox scored 11 of
their 13 runs on Wednesday
with two outs.
The Sox had plenty of chances
to break the game open, but
stranded 12 runners.
So, every pitch generated the
kind of tension that makes it
hard for Sox fans to fall asleep
even though the game stretched
past midnight.

Schilling was fine pitching on
four days’ rest for just the second
time in 2 1 ⁄2 months. He gave
up just four singles and one run
in 5 1 ⁄3 innings.
“I had a little trouble getting
loose in the sixth,” he said. “I
could not get it feeling right. I
tried everything I could do in
the bottom of the fifth, but I just
could not get loose.”
Schilling turned the game
over to Okajima with two runners
on and one out, and the
first-year pitcher from Japan
did the rest.
“That was just phenomenal to
watch,” Schilling said. “A 2-1
game in the fifth that ends up 2-1
with both of these offenses, that
is a testament to how incredibly
efficient and dominating these
bullpens were.”
Rockies starter Ubaldo Jiminez,
who came up from the
minors in July, kept the Sox off
balance early on with a fastball
in the mid-90s, a sharp slider
and an effective changeup.
He was very good. Then he
suddenly became very wild,
which made his World Series
debut a short one.
Jiminez breezed through the
first two innings on just 19
pitches, but then walked two in
both the third and fourth
innings and another in the fifth.
Some of his pitches weren’t
even close.
He only allowed three hits,
but the five walks and hit batter
he allowed forced his exit after
just 4 2 ⁄3 innings. Lowell walked
with one out in the fourth. J.D.
Drew, who had two hits and was
on base four times, then slashed
a hard single to right. It was
Boston’s first hit.
Lowell hesitated as he
rounded second, then took off
for third, just beating Hawpe’s
throw with a headfirst slide.
Varitek then brought in Lowell
with a sacrifice fly to deep center.
The Sox took the lead in the
fifth. Jiminez got those two outs
quickly, but he never got the
third. David Ortiz walked, then
moved up when Manny Ramirez
singled.
Lowell brought Ortiz home
and chased Jiminez from the
game with a double into the leftfield
corner.
Okajima and Papelbon took
care of the rest.

WORLD SERIES GAME 1: RED SOX 13, ROCKIES 1
Red Sox provide Beckett with plenty of support
BOSTON — For three games
in the middle of the ALCS, they
were invisible. This morning,
riding a four-game winning
streak and leading the Rockies
in the World Series, 1 game to 0,
the Red Sox look invincible.
They are probably somewhere
in between, but after
arriving in town with a sevengame
playoff winning streak
and having taken 21 of 22 overall,
Colorado has to be wondering
exactly how anyone has beaten
the Red Sox in this postseason.
They crushed the beleaguered
and bewildered Rockies
at Fenway Park last night, 13-1,
and it is difficult to say what
was the most impressive part of
the annihilation. Was it the
overpowering, once again,
work of starting pitcher Josh
Beckett? Or was it the relentless
offensive attack, one that featured
17 hits — 9 for extra bases
— and 8 walks, three with the
bases loaded.
Beckett, for his part, went
seven innings and allowed only
one run on six hits. He struck
out nine and issued one walk.
“I held them off long enough,”
said Beckett, who was his usual
understated self after a win.
Boston has won four straight
postseason games this year and
five straight World Series
games going back to 2004. The
team record is six straight
World Series victories. The Sox
won the last four games of the
1915 World Series and the first
two in 1916.
The Red Sox’ postseason
pitching record books are populated
by names like Cy Young,
Smoky Joe Wood, Babe Ruth,
Jim Lonborg, Luis Tiant, Roger
Clemens and Pedro Martinez,
but in 2007, Beckett has outdone

them all.
With last night’s win, he
became the first Boston pitcher
to win four games in a single
postseason, and first ever to win
four straight postseason starts.
In this year’s playoffs so far,
in 30 innings of work, Beckett
has compiled a 1.20 ERA to go
along with the 4-0 record. He has
struck out 36 and walked 2. His
career postseason numbers
have him at 6-2 with a 1.73 ERA
and 14 walks, 84 strikeouts in
72 2 ⁄3 innings.
In three World Series starts,
two with the Marlins and last
night, Beckett’s earned run
average is 1.16.
He began last night’s game by
striking out the first four Rockies
batters he faced. In the second
inning, Garrett Atkins and
Tony Tulowitzki both hit balls
off the wall for doubles and Colorado
had a run, the only one it
would get off Beckett.
Mike Timlin and Eric Gagne
both pitched one scoreless
inning of relief to close it out.
Offensively, the Sox banged
out eight doubles and a home
run. Dustin Pedroia had the
home run — leading off the bottom
of the first — while Kevin
Youkilis and David Ortiz had
two doubles apiece. Ortiz,
Manny Ramirez and Julio Lugo
had three hits each.
Rockies starter Jeff Francis
gave up 10 hits and 6 runs in
four innings. The first man in
from the Colorado bullpen,
Franklin Morales, was charged
with 7 earned runs in two-thirds
of an inning and his World
Series ERA is 94.50.
Every Sox starter had at least
one hit except for center fielder
Jacoby Ellsbury. Every Sox
starter had at least one RBI
except for third baseman Mike

scored at least one run except
for Lugo.
“Knowing these guys,” Beckett
said, “you usually feel pretty
good when you go out there,
that they’re gonna put up a few

needed to take and hit the mistakes.”
Dustin Pedroia hits a home run in the Red Sox’ first at-bat of the World Series.

Josh,” Youkilis said. “He’s handled
it well the last few years

So, the Red Sox look to take a

then perhaps move along to
close out the Rockies in quick
fashion. Which is what it looked
like the Yankees might do to the
Sox in the 2004 ALCS, right after

“We’re smart enough to know

be a fond memory, if only for a
few hours.

WORLD SERIES GAME 1: RED SOX 13, ROCKIES 1
Red Sox provide Beckett with plenty of support
BOSTON — For three games
in the middle of the ALCS, they
were invisible. This morning,
riding a four-game winning
streak and leading the Rockies
in the World Series, 1 game to 0,
the Red Sox look invincible.
They are probably somewhere
in between, but after
arriving in town with a sevengame
playoff winning streak
and having taken 21 of 22 overall,
Colorado has to be wondering
exactly how anyone has beaten
the Red Sox in this postseason.
They crushed the beleaguered
and bewildered Rockies
at Fenway Park last night, 13-1,
and it is difficult to say what
was the most impressive part of
the annihilation. Was it the
overpowering, once again,
work of starting pitcher Josh
Beckett? Or was it the relentless
offensive attack, one that featured
17 hits — 9 for extra bases
— and 8 walks, three with the
bases loaded.
Beckett, for his part, went
seven innings and allowed only
one run on six hits. He struck
out nine and issued one walk.
“I held them off long enough,”
said Beckett, who was his usual
understated self after a win.
Boston has won four straight
postseason games this year and
five straight World Series
games going back to 2004. The
team record is six straight
World Series victories. The Sox
won the last four games of the
1915 World Series and the first
two in 1916.
The Red Sox’ postseason
pitching record books are populated
by names like Cy Young,
Smoky Joe Wood, Babe Ruth,
Jim Lonborg, Luis Tiant, Roger
Clemens and Pedro Martinez,
but in 2007, Beckett has outdone

them all.
With last night’s win, he
became the first Boston pitcher
to win four games in a single
postseason, and first ever to win
four straight postseason starts.
In this year’s playoffs so far,
in 30 innings of work, Beckett
has compiled a 1.20 ERA to go
along with the 4-0 record. He has
struck out 36 and walked 2. His
career postseason numbers
have him at 6-2 with a 1.73 ERA
and 14 walks, 84 strikeouts in
72 2 ⁄3 innings.
In three World Series starts,
two with the Marlins and last
night, Beckett’s earned run
average is 1.16.
He began last night’s game by
striking out the first four Rockies
batters he faced. In the second
inning, Garrett Atkins and
Tony Tulowitzki both hit balls
off the wall for doubles and Colorado
had a run, the only one it
would get off Beckett.
Mike Timlin and Eric Gagne
both pitched one scoreless
inning of relief to close it out.
Offensively, the Sox banged
out eight doubles and a home
run. Dustin Pedroia had the
home run — leading off the bottom
of the first — while Kevin
Youkilis and David Ortiz had
two doubles apiece. Ortiz,
Manny Ramirez and Julio Lugo
had three hits each.
Rockies starter Jeff Francis
gave up 10 hits and 6 runs in
four innings. The first man in
from the Colorado bullpen,
Franklin Morales, was charged
with 7 earned runs in two-thirds
of an inning and his World
Series ERA is 94.50.
Every Sox starter had at least
one hit except for center fielder
Jacoby Ellsbury. Every Sox
starter had at least one RBI
except for third baseman Mike

ALCS GAME 7: RED SOX 11, INDIANS 2
Pedroia homer clinches ALCS; Colorado is next
BOSTON — The party
started when Dustin Pedroia
homered into the first row of
the Monster seats in the seventh.
And it continued into the
night as the Red Sox downed
the Cleveland Indians, 11-2, to
earn their 11th trip to the World
Series, second in the last four
years.
The Sox celebrated on the
field, with hundreds of fans
hanging around Fenway to
watch, for more than an hour
after the game. In the streets
around the ballpark and all
over New England, fans joined
the party.
The Sox earned the right to
toast their accomplishment
after outscoring the Indians,
30-5, after falling behind in the
best-of-seven ALCS, 3 games to
1. The Sox never trailed in the
last three games.
“I remember sitting in Cleveland
when we got beat in that
third game and trying to find a
way to turn this around,”
Pedroia said. “You know,
because we worked so hard all
year long to have our season
get cut short. Nobody wanted to
go home.”
The Sox won’t have to. They
will host the National League
champion Colorado Rockies in
Game 1 of the World Series at
8:35 p.m. Wednesday.
The Sox are now 24-11 in elimination
games; 14-3 over their
last 17 in that situation.
“I think that games of a huge
magnitude, our guys don’t get
overwhelmed,” Sox manager
Terry Francona said in trying
to explain why his team has
played so well when it couldn’t
afford to lose. “It doesn’t assure

The Sox are 6-5 in winnertake-all
situations with five of
those victories coming in their
last seven chances.
The didn’t let this one get
away, although there were
some tight moments in the top
of the seventh when the Indians
might have tied the game if
third-base coach Joel Skinner
hadn’t held up Kenny Lofton.
The Tribe never did tie the
game and Pedroia’s two-run
homer, his first of the postseason,
gave the Sox a three-run
lead. His bases-loaded double
in the eighth, when the Sox
added six more runs, gave him
five RBIs on the night, but he
wasn’t the only Red Sox hero.
Daisuke Matsuzaka picked
up his first playoff win with
five solid innings in which he
allowed just two runs on six
hits. He didn’t walk a batter for
the first time since May 30, also
against the Indians.
Hideki Okajima pitched two
shutout innings, then
Jonathan Papelbon blanked
the Indians for the last two
frames, overpowering the
Tribe after coming into the
game with the tying run at the
plate.
“I knew we needed outs in
that situation,” Papelbon said.
“I just tried to go pitch-topitch.”
Kevin Youkilis hit his third
homer of the series, a two-run
shot off the Coke bottles in the
eighth. Youkilis hit .500 in the
series and tied an LCS record
with 14 hits.

pitcher was knocked out after
4 2 ⁄3 innings, the Sox won three
in a row with their top three
pitchers all performing well.
Beckett set the tone with his
second victory of the ALCS on
Thursday, sending the series
back to Boston. He was named
MVP of the series.
Curt Schilling followed with
a strong performance on Saturday,
and Matsuzaka made it
three in a row.
“After our three straight
losses, the team kept telling me
to get ready to pitch in Game
7,” Matsuzaka said. “And I
think everybody on this team
worked very well together to
bring us into Game 7. I just
wanted to respond as best as I
could to my teammates today.”
High pitch counts have been
a problem for Matsuzaka, but
that wasn’t really the case as
he threw 88 pitches.
The first rookie in history to
start an LCS Game 7, he retired
the first eight batters of the
game.
The Sox held a 3-2 lead when
he turned the game over to the
bullpen.
“I thought he pitched his
heart out,” Francona said.
The Sox jumped on Cleveland
starter Jake Westbrook,
the winning pitcher in Game 3,
with three early runs. They
might have had more if not for
a couple of double plays.
The Indians came back with
single runs in the fourth and
fifth.
Ryan Garko doubled home
Travis Hafner in the fourth,
and Grady Sizemore brought
in Franklin Gutierrez with a
sacrifice fly in the fifth. The
Indians had three straight singles
in that inning, but Ramirez
gunned down Lofton who
tried to stretch his into a
double.
Westbrook, meanwhile, got
stronger as the game went on.
The Sox had six hits off him in
the first two innings, and it
looked like his night would be
short. Instead, he lasted six
innings.
It looked like the Indians
would tie the game in the seventh
when Lofton reached second
after Julio Lugo dropped
his popup behind third.

single down the third-base line.
The Sox were conceding the
run as the ball bounced off the
short wall in foul territory, but
third-base coach Joel Skinner
held up Lofton at third.
Casey Blake then grounded
into a double play to end the
inning.
Blake’s problems continued
in the bottom of the inning
when he took his eye off Jacoby
Ellsbury’s grounder. The ball
got by him for a two-base error.
Lugo bunted him to third
before Pedroia launched his
homer. It came off Rafael Betancourt
who had held the Sox
to just one hit in 6 1 ⁄3 innings
coming into the game.
The Sox added four more
runs in the eighth when Lowell
doubled to left-center and raced
around on Drew’s single up the
middle. Then, after Jason Varitek
reached on a bloop groundrule
double and Ellsbury was
intentionally walked, Pedroia
spiked a double to left-center,
clearing the bases.
Youkilis closed out the scoring
with a homer off the Coke
bottles in left. That put the fans
on their feet and they stayed
there the rest of the game and
then for a long time afterward.

ALCS GAME 6: RED SOX 12, INDIANS 2
Sixth sense: Red Sox force a Game 7 vs. Tribe
By Bill Ballou
TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF Red Sox 12, Indians 2
Cleveland AB R H BI BB SO Avg.
BOSTON — It is never easy,
it seems, with the Red Sox.
With the notable and memorable
exception of the 2004
World Series, Boston can
never just plain old win. There
has to be drama, suspense, disappointment
and despair before
any sort of ultimate triumph.
No wonder the Sox have
become a regional addiction.
Nothing Steven Spielberg,
George Lucas, J.K. Rowling,
Tom Clancy or John Grisham
can produce will ever equal the
real-life triumph and tragedy
of the Boston Red Sox.
Four days ago the Sox looked
to be as cooked as the profitand-loss
statements at Enron.
They were down to the Indians,
3 games to 1, in the ALCS
and were not hitting well, not
pitching well and getting absolutely
no breaks.
Today, they are one game
away from winning their 12th
American League pennant and
second in four years.
Last night, Boston evened its
series with the Indians by
drubbing the Tribe, 12-2. The
teams have traded places in the
do-no-wrong department, and
suddenly, having won two in a
row, Boston looks as unbeatable
as Cleveland did in creating
its 3 games to 1 lead.
The Sox and Indians will
play for the pennant, and a trip
to the World Series, starting at
8:23 here tonight. Daisuke Matsuzaka
will start for Boston,
Jake Westbrook for the Tribe.
“Hey, it’s going to come
down to Game 7,” Indians manager
Eric Wedge said, “against
the two teams that won more
baseball games than anybody
in the regular season, two
teams that have beat up on
OCTOBER 20
each other a little bit over the
course of the past week, and
that’s the way it should be.
“It’s something everybody
should look forward to.”
Tonight’s game will be the
15th “winner take all” game the
Red Sox have ever played,
going back to Game 7 of the 1912
World Series. That includes all
of their various playoff series,
both best-of-5 and best-of-7, as
well as their pennant playoffs
vs. the Indians and Yankees,
and twice when the final regular-season
game — 1949 and
1967 — was for the pennant.
Boston’s record in those
games is 6-8, 3-4 at Fenway
Park.
On the mound, Boston’s Curt
Schilling outpitched Fausto
Carmona, and by a lot. Schilling
gave up just two runs in
seven innings, improving his
postseason record to 10-2. In
five starts with his team facing
elimination in a playoff series,
Schilling is 4-0.
At the plate, J.D. Drew had
three hits, including a firstinning
grand slam, and drove
in five runs. Kevin Youkilis
also had three hits; Dustin
Pedroia and Mike Lowell had
two hits apiece.
The first few minutes of
what was a long night provided
a glimpse of the way things
would go for both teams. The
Indians did nothing right. The
Red Sox did nothing wrong.
Grady Sizemore led off the
top of the first with a towering
fly ball that tracked the right
field foul line down towards
Pesky’s Pole. The ball landed
deep into the box seats, and the
only question was fair or foul.
The ruling was foul, although
Wedge argued the point, and
Sizemore proceeded to ground

In the Red Sox half of the
first, Pedroia reached on an
infield hit to shortstop. So did
Youkilis, and Boston had runners
at first and second with
nobody out without hitting a
ball out of the infield.
Three batters later, Drew
cleared the bases with his
grand slam and the rout was
on.
Manny Ramirez walked twice and scored a run in Game 6.
The last two times the Red
Sox made it to the World
Series, in 1986 and 2004, they
did it this way, too. In ’86 they
were one strike away from
elimination in Game 5 in Anaheim
and wound up winning
the series in seven games. In
‘04 it was even worse — they
were down 3 games to 0 — and
came back to beat the Yankees.
Last night, the Sox were
fueled by an emotional crowd
C
that began roaring with Schilling’s
first pitch and did not
stop until Eric Gagne threw
the game’s last one.
“I’m glad we’re playing at
home,” Francona said. “You
just saw when (Schilling)

Mueller throws the first pitch,
you don’t see 45,000 towels
waving around.”
“You know,” said Schilling,
“I would argue that you’ll

hard way. Like this year, like

ALCS GAME 5: RED SOX 7, INDIANS 1
Two away: Beckett keeps Red Sox in business
By Paul Jarvey
TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF
CLEVELAND — Country
singer Danielle Peck stood
about 80 feet from ex-boyfriend
Josh Beckett as she sang “God
Bless America” in the seventh
inning, but she could’ve been
8,000 miles away.
Nothing was going to distract
Beckett, not 44,588 towelwaving
fans, not the guy in left
field incessantly banging the
drum, not 40-year-old Kenny
Lofton.
All that was a good thing
because the Sox couldn’t afford
to have Beckett lose focus,
standing as they were on the
brink of elimination.
They are still on that brink,
but Boston’s 7-1 victory at
Jacobs Field bought them
some breathing room and a
trip back to Boston.
The Indians lead the best-ofseven
ALCS, 3-2. Game 6 is at
Fenway.
Beckett made sure that return
trip was a happy one by
allowing just one run in eight
innings. He gave up five hits,
just two after the first inning,
and struck out 11.
“We’re excited to get back to
Boston,” Beckett said. “It’s
going to be a great flight. This
is not where we want to be, but
obviously we’re inching closer.
The motto in the clubhouse
right now is ‘it’s better to die
on your feet than live on your
knees.’ ”
Starting pitchers against the
Indians have made it out of the
fifth inning three times in the
playoffs, and Beckett has done
it twice.
He has also won both of Boston’s
games in this series.
“We’ve leaned on him all
year,” Sox manager Terry
Francona said. “I thought he
was up in the first inning, and
OCTOBER 18
then once he settled down establishing
that breaking ball,
he really became the guy, the
dominant pitcher we rely on so
much.”
Beckett had help from Kevin

Youkilis (homer, triple, 3
RBIs), Manny Ramirez
(double, RBI single, which was
almost a homer), David Ortiz
(two sacrifice flies) and
assorted others who added to
Boston’s dozen hits.
The Sox pounded C.C.
Sabathia for the second time in
the series and finally cracked
the Cleveland bullpen.
The Sox endured considerable
frustration in the early
innings, grounding into double
plays in the third and fourth
innings, but Beckett held up
his end until the Sox opened
the game with two runs in the
seventh and three more in the
eighth.
Beckett rebounded from giving
up three hits and a run in
the first, and he wasn’t rattled
after having words with Lofton,
causing the benches to
clear, in the fifth.
“It kind of goes back before
today,” Beckett said of the
back-and-forth with Lofton
after the Indians’ left fielder
flied out. “Those things have a
way of working themselves
out.”
The two had a similar incident
in 2005, when Beckett was
with the Marlins and Lofton
with the Phillies, after Lofton
flipped the bat after drawing a
walk.
The Sox scored first for the
first time in the series when
Youkilis sent a 2-0 pitch from
Sabathia toward a concession
stand in left field. The 373-foot
blast was his third homer of
the postseason.
The Sox lead didn’t last long.
Grady Sizemore blooped a
double to left to start the Cleveland
first and came home on a
double-play grounder.
“It was tough because we
came out and scored a run, so
obviously I wanted to shut
them down,” Beckett said.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A small group of Red Sox fans salute Boston after its 7-1 win over Cleveland in Game 5.
The Sox gave him the lead
again in the third, but again
they could’ve had more.
Ortiz walked, and Ramirez
followed with a long drive to
center. Sizemore jumped for
the ball, which was ruled to
have hit, but not cleared, the
yellow line on the top of the
fence.
Ortiz scored from first, but
Ramirez was held to a single.
Manager Terry Francona
argued the call, and the six
umpires huddled to discuss it,
but didn’t change it.
“There’s so much emotion
when you think you have another
run,” Francona said. “I
think there’s a point as a manager
where you don’t care if it’s
right, you just want the run.”
The Sox had 12 base runners
(8 hits, 2 walks, 2 hit batters)
through the first five innings,
but scored just two runs.
Double plays got Sabathia out
of trouble in the third and
fourth innings. Coco Crisp
struck out after failing to get a
bunt down with runners on
first and second and no one out
in the fourth.
The Sox finally scored a pair
of runs in the seventh to open a
4-1 lead. Dustin Pedroia started
it with a double to right-center,
his second hit of the night.
Youkilis followed with another
drive to right-center. Sizemore
dived for it, but the ball
glanced off his glove and rolled
toward right for a triple,
Pedroia pumping his fist as he
crossed home.
Ortiz then drove in Youkilis
with a sacrifice fly, Lofton
making a basket catch on the
warning track with his back to
the plate.
The Sox added three more
runs in the eighth on just one
hit, a Julio Lugo bunt. Runs
came in on a passed ball, basesloaded
walk and a sacrifice fly.
That was icing on the cake
for Beckett, who said he was
happy to see his ex on the field.
“She is a friend of mine,” he
said. “That doesn’t bother me
at all. Thanks for flying one of
my friends to the game so she
could watch for free.”

ALCS GAME 4: INDIANS 7, RED SOX 3
Homeric loss: Boston falls short of Indians’ pair
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
David Ortiz watches from the dugout during the ninth inning.
CLEVELAND — As they
showered and dressed and got
ready for an exciting day off
here along the banks of the
sleepy Cuyahoga River, the Red
Sox bemoaned the bad breaks
that cost them Game 4 of the
ALCS.
Bad breaks? Boston lost, 7-3.
That’s a lot of bad breaks. A
more honest evaluation of what
happened would be that Boston’s
pitching broke down
again and too many of their
hitters are not delivering in the
clutch.
Which is why the Sox face
elimination in this series, with
Josh Beckett standing between
an early and disappointing end
to 2007 and a possible Game 6 at
Fenway Park on Saturday.
Things may not be quite as
awful as they sound, though.
The Red Sox have been in this
predicament before, down 3
games to 1, five times and come
back to win the series three of
those times. Boston trailed the
Pirates, 3 to 1, in the 1903 World
Series and won it, 5 games to 3.
It trailed the Cardinals, 3 to 1, in
the ‘67 World Series and lost
that one in seven games.
The Sox trailed the Angels, 3
to 1, in the 1986 ALCS and came
back to win it in seven games;
trailed the Yankees, 3 to 1, in the
1999 ALCS and lost in five; and
most recently, trailed the Yankees
3 to 0 in the 2004 ALCS and
won that series in seven games.
“Whenever it is that we play
at this point,” Dustin Pedroia
said, “any time we get to the
park, we gotta win.”
“There are a lot of guys in this
clubhouse who know that we
were down 0 to 3 in ’04,” starting
pitcher Tim Wakefield said.
“We’ve got our work cut out for
us, but we can never give up.

TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF Indians 7, Red Sox 3
There are a lot of guys
in this clubhouse who
know that we were down
0 to 3 in ’04. We’ve got
our work cut out for us,
but we can never give
up. We’ve got to win or
we’re going home, and
we’ve got the right ‚ guy
on the mound.
TIM WAKEFIELD
RED SOX STARTING PITCHER
OCTOBER 16
We’ve got to win or we’re going
home, and we’ve got the right
guy on the mound.”
Again, Wakefield was not the
right guy on the mound for the
Sox, however. With him taking
the ball, the result was virtually
predetermined. He went 4 2 ⁄3
innings and was charged with
five runs, although reliever
Manny Delcarmen was on the
mound for two of them.
The loss dropped Wakefield’s
postseason record as a starter to
2-5 with a 7.32 ERA. The Indians
have absolutely annihilated
him through the years. He is 0-3
vs. Cleveland with a 13.50 ERA,
allowing 20 earned runs in 13 1 ⁄3
innings as both a starter and
reliever.
For a while, though, Wakefield
was good. He gave up just
one hit in the first four innings
and took a shutout into the fateful,
and fatal, fifth inning, when
the Tribe scored all seven of its
runs.
Casey Blake and Jhonny Peralta
hit homers in that inning,
breaking a 0-0 tie and making a
winner out of Cleveland starter
Paul Byrd. The Sox came back
right after that and hit three
consecutive homers to begin
the top of the sixth, but indicative
of the way things have gone
in this series, the Indians got
more runs from their two
homers than Boston did from
its three.
All three Sox home runs were
solo shots. Peralta hit his second
three-run homer of the
series. The Boston home runs
were by Kevin Youkilis, David
Ortiz and Manny Ramirez,
Byrd giving up the first two,
reliever Jensen Lewis the one
to Ramirez.
Since Boston scored three
runs in the fifth inning of Game
2, taking a 6-5 lead, the Indians
have scored as many runs, 18, as
the Sox have hits. Boston has
been outscored 18-5 in that time
and is batting just .212 as a
team.
The bad breaks the Red Sox
talked about happened mainly
during the fifth, and came on
the same at-bat by Asdrubal
Cabrera, who should have been
out twice and instead reached
on an infield single.
With Cleveland ahead, 1-0,
and men at first and third with
one out, Cabrera lofted a high
foul fly toward the box seats
behind first base. Youkilis went
back to catch it, got there, but
then bobbled and dropped it —
no error, nor should there have
been — giving Cabrera another
crack at Wakefield.
He then hit a soft liner that
would almost certainly have
been a double-play ball to
Pedroia at second, but Wakefield
intercepted it and
deflected it, with everybody

CLEVELAND — David Ortiz
watched as Franklin Gutierrez
snagged his deep liner, turned
away, then looked back again.
He couldn’t believe it. What
was the right fielder doing so
deep? Why wasn’t the ball sailing
over his head and bouncing
around the outfield for a
double?
It was that kind of night for
the Red Sox, who fell to the
surging Cleveland Indians, 4-2,
before 44,402 very loud, towelwaving
fans at Jacobs Field in
Game 3 of the ALCS. The Sox
are now down, 2-1, in the bestof-seven
series and turn to Tim
Wakefield, who is coming off a
sore shoulder and hasn’t
pitched a good game in six
weeks, to rally them in Game 4.
“We’ve just got to come out
and play, man,” Ortiz said.
“We’ve been in worse situations
than this.”
True, the Sox were once
down three games to none to
the New York Yankees in the
2004 ALCS, but they were
home then. And Ortiz’s knee
felt a lot better than it does
now.
The odds of a comeback were
against them then, and they
are suddenly against them
now. The Game 3 winner of an
ALCS that was 1-1 after two
games has gone on to win the
series eight of 10 times since
this round was expanded to
seven games.
“We need to find a way to get
it done,” said Jason Varitek,
who smashed a two-run homer
to give the Sox their only runs,
but also hit a fly ball to shallow
left with the bases loaded and
no one out in the second. “We
have to get it done in here.”
It was a frustrating night for
the Red Sox with Daisuke Matsuzaka
not being able to get out
of the fifth inning for the second
postseason start in a row,
and Boston hitters squandering
several opportunities.
The Sox outhit the Indians,
7-6, but didn’t hit when it mattered
most.
Double plays ended the first,
second and sixth innings, and
Ortiz was hit by a Manny
Ramirez grounder after he
doubled to lead off the fourth.
“I took my normal lead,”
Ortiz said. “When I took my
OCTOBER 15
two steps, the ball was right on
me.”
It hit him in the upper leg,
the pain of being out in such a
situation far worse than being
stung by the ball.
Matsuzaka seemed to pitch
better than his first playoff
start, but the results were
almost identical.
Against the Angels, he gave
up three runs on seven hits. In
Game 3, he allowed four runs
and six hits. He did strike out
six, but lasted just 4 2 ⁄3 innings,
same as he did against the
Angels.
Kenny Lofton hit a two-run
homer off him in the second,
and a barrage
of singles
sandwiched
around a walk
accounted for
two more runs
in the fifth.
Varitek said
he thought
Matsuzaka
pitched better
than in his
last outing,
but on a night
when the Sox
couldn’t score runs, it wasn’t
enough.
With the excitable Cleveland
fans chanting “Ken-ny!” and
waving their white towels, the
40-year-old Lofton jumped on
the first pitch he saw from
Matsuzaka and cranked it just
over a leaping J.D. Drew in
right. It was his first playoff
homer since he went deep
against the Sox in the 2004
ALCS.
The Indians knocked Matsuzaka
out of the game three
innings later when Asdrubal
Cabrera slashed a single up the
middle to bring in Casey Blake,
who had singled and moved to
second on a wild pitch.
Travis Hafner followed with
a bouncer to the right of Dustin
Pedroia, who fielded it and
tagged second, but his off-balance
throw was a whisker too
late to complete the double
play. Pedroia ended up flat on
his face near shortstop as
Grady Sizemore crossed the
plate with the fourth Cleveland
run.
Mike Timlin, Hideki Okajima
and Delcarmen followed
with 3 1 ⁄3 innings of shutout
relief, but Sox hitters couldn’t
manage much against Cleveland
starter Jake Westbrook

in the

Drew singled

and Varitek
hit his first
homer of the
postseason, a
407-foot drive just over the center-field
fence and Sizemore’s
leap.
The Sox had just one baserunner
after that, and the
crowd grew louder and louder
with each out, especially after
Gutierrez grabbed Ortiz’s liner
near the warning track in the
eighth.
Now, it is up to Wakefield to
stop the slide.
“I feel extremely confident,”
Timlin said. “I’d give him the
ball in any situation, any situation.”
This situation, though, is
pretty serious.

TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF
BOSTON — He probably
won’t stick around long enough
to finish up there with Don
Buddin, Don Zimmer and Bob
Stanley as the most disliked
people ever to wear a Red Sox
uniform, but Eric Gagne is certainly
establishing his presence
in that select group.
When Boston snapped its
four-game playoff winning
streak here on Saturday night,
going into the morning, the losing
pitcher was Gagne. In a little
more than two months with
the Sox, he has established
a legacy
of failure that
fans will talk
about for years to
come.
The final score
was 13-6, Cleveland,
and Gagne
was responsible
for just two of
those runs, but
they were the key
ones. He came on
to pitch the 11th
inning with the
game tied, 6-6,
struck out the
first batter he faced, then gave
up a single to Grady Sizemore
and walked Asdrubal Cabrera.
By the time the inning ended,
both Sizemore and Cabrera had
come around to score along
with five of their teammates.
The winning run was driven in
by Trot Nixon, who looped a
single into shallow center field
with lefty Javier Lopez — another
bullpen dud — on the
mound.
With the loss, Boston heads
into Game 3 here with the
series tied, 1-1, and the next
three games being played at
Jacobs Field. The Sox have to
win at least one to take the
‘ I don’t think it’s
realistic — it’s a
nice idea — that
you can go through
the postseason
‚ unbeaten.
TERRY FRANCONA
RED SOX MANAGER
series back to Fenway Park.
“I don’t think it’s realistic —
it’s a nice idea,” Boston manager
Terry Francona said, “that
you can go through the postseason
unbeaten.”
Francona called the game a
great one, but one that had a bad
ending for his team. Was it a
momentum-killer? Hardly, he
responded, adding, “If this does
us in, we’re not as good as we
thought we were.”
It was the first Boston postseason
game to go into extra
innings since Oct. 18, 2004,
Game 5 of the ALCS with the
Yankees. David Ortiz won that
one with a single
in the bottom of
the 14th inning.
The eight pitchers
that Francona
used were a record
for a Red Sox
playoff game and a
record for any
ALCS game, period.
Neither starting
pitcher, Curt
Schilling for the
Red Sox and
Fausto Carmona
for Cleveland, was
very impressive.
Schilling, working on five
days rest, was not sharp. He did
not make it out of the fifth
inning and was charged with
five runs in 4 2 ⁄3 innings. The
Indians reached him for nine
hits, including a pair of home
runs.
“There isn’t anyone who
should feel bad in the clubhouse
but me,” Schilling said. “This
one is entirely on me. This was
all about me coming up small in
a big game.”
The Indians did not entirely
shut down David Ortiz and
Manny Ramirez, but they kept
them from doing any fatal damage.
The two Sox sluggers reach-
OCTOBER 13
ed base four times in 10 combined
plate appearances, with
Ramirez doing the most damage.
He hit a two-run homer as
part of a three-run rally in the
fifth inning, a rally that temporarily
gave Boston a 6-5 lead.
Ortiz, who walked in the first
and had an infield single in the
third, had reached base safely 10
straight times, tying a playoff
record, before grounding out in
the fifth.
Manny Delcarmen gave up a
run in the top of the sixth to
make it 6-6, and it seemed as
though the game could wind up
a 12-10 affair, or something along
those lines, but the two bullpens
pitched well for several innings.
For Boston, Delcarmen was
followed by Hideki Okajima,
Mike Timlin and Jonathan
Papelbon before Francona was
forced to dip into the junior varsity.
Boston’s best chance to win
in the late innings came in the
ninth when it had Jacoby Ellsbury
at second with two out and
Kevin Youkilis up.
Youkilis battled Rafael Betancourt
through an 11-pitch plate
appearance that included six
straight foul balls with the
count 2 and 2. It ended with a
line drive out to center.
Gagne has, in three playoff
appearances, compiled an 11.60
ERA. Gagne has, since arriving
in Boston at the start of August,
allowed 30 hits, 11 walks and 17
earned runs in 21 total innings.
That ERA is 7.29.
After Game 2, Gagne left the
clubhouse before reporters
were allowed in. He was probably
out getting pizza with Buddin,
Zimmer and Stanley.

ALCS GAME 1: RED SOX 10, INDIANS 3
Red Sox bats back up Beckett gem in Game 1
BOSTON — Josh Beckett
dealt and the Cleveland Indians
folded.
That’s the ALCS opener in a
nutshell.
That, and David Ortiz and
Manny Ramirez continuing to
get on base as if the major league
playoffs were slow-pitch softball.
Boston’s third and fourth hitters
were on base 10 times last
night and have reached 29 times
in four postseason games, all
Red Sox victories.
Ortiz and Ramirez have
scored 12 runs in the playoffs,
including two each last night
when the Red Sox hammered
the Tribe, 10-3, at chilly Fenway
Park to take a 1-0 lead in the bestof-seven
series.
“We are professional hitters,”
Ortiz said. “We know what
we’re doing.”
Apparently.
Ortiz had two hits, two walks,
and was hit by a pitch. He’s been
on base 16 times in 18 plate appearance
in the playoffs. He has
made just six outs in the last
eight games. Ramirez had two
singles and three walks and
knocked in three runs. He has
reached 13 times in 18 chances.
No wonder the Sox so far are
cruising through the postseason,
outscoring their opposition
at a Patriots-like 29-7 clip.
“I’ve never seen anything like
it,” said Mike Lowell, who was
the prime beneficiary of the
Ortiz-Ramirez on-base fest with
three RBIs. “They’re unbelievable.
They’re aggressive,
they’re patient. They just have
such solid at-bats.”
Ramirez twice came back
from 0-2 counts to draw basesloaded
walks.
“I told Manny, ‘Are you just
fouling balls off to mess around
OCTOBER 12

TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF Red Sox 10, Indians 3
Cleveland AB R H BI BB SO Avg.
or what?’ But they’re both just
putting together tremendous atbats,”
Lowell said. “I think it’s
normal for other pitchers not to
want them to beat you, but for
them to get on base like they did
is a little ridiculous.”
Ortiz and Ramirez aren’t
doing it alone either. Every Sox
starter had at least one hit as the
Sox scored in double figures in
the postseason for the first since
Game 1 of the 2004 World Series.
This one was supposed to be a
duel between two of the best
pitchers in the AL. Beckett, now
4-2 in the postseason in his
career, did his part, giving up
two runs on four hits in six
innings.
He wasn’t quite as dominating
as he was in Game 1 of the
ALDS against the Angels, but
he still was pretty good, retiring
10 straight batters at one point
as his teammates took command
of the game.
His exit after just 80 pitches
may be an indication that Sox
manager Terry Francona plans
to bring him back on three days’
rest to pitch Game 4.
Beckett had a hellacious curveball
going, getting six of his
seven strikeouts on off-speed
stuff.
Cleveland’s C.C. Sabathia, on
the other hand, didn’t have
much going at all. The Indians’
ace lasted just 4 1 ⁄3 innings,
allowing eight runs, the most he
has given up all season. His five
walks tied a season high, coming
just one start after he also
gave up five in beating the New
York Yankees.
“He just never really got in
sync,” Cleveland manager Eric
Wedge said, denying that
Sabathia’s uncharacteristic
wildness might be due to
fatigue.

Sync wasn’t a problem for the
Red Sox, who had eight walks to
go with their dozen hits.
“I thought we had good at-bats
all the way up and down,” Francona
said. “We had a lot of baserunners
and we took advantage
of it.”
Bobby Kielty, getting the first
postseason start of his career,
knocked Sabathia out of the
game with a bases-loaded, noouts
single in the fifth. Kielty
was playing because of his
career success against
Sabathia and he came through,
going 1 for 2.
His hit helped the Sox score
three runs in that inning and
open up an 8-1 lead. Jason Varitek,
who knocked in a pair of
runs, brought home Kielty by
slicing a double to right-center
off reliever Jensen Lewis.
“I thought our approach was
really, really professional,”
Francona said. “We didn’t pull
the ball. We didn’t try to pull the
ball. We didn’t swing at balls.”
The Indians jumped ahead on
Travis Hafner’s homer over the
visitors’ bullpen in the first, but
the Sox tied it with three
straight singles in their half of
the inning and seized the lead —
and the game — with four runs
in the third.
Sabathia’s sudden wildness
was the biggest factor in that
third-inning rally as he walked
three and hit a batter.
Ortiz wasn’t surprised that
Sabathia and the Indians didn’t
give him and Manny much to
hit.
“We know that they’re going
to pitch us kind of carefully,” he
said. “That’s been the talk
night-in and night-out before
this series. So we keep that in
mind and we stick with whatever
they give us.”
The key, Ortiz said, is what
the hitters around him and
Ramirez are doing.
“We still have another seven
players that got to take advantage
of it because in the playoffs,
when you walk somebody,
sometimes you’ve got to pay for
that later.”
Last night, the Indians paid
dearly.

ALDS GAME 3: RED SOX 9, ANGELS 1
Schilling, bats dominate as Sox sweep Angels
ANAHEIM, Calif. — It is
older than the Declaration of
Independence, so baseball
should be an archaeologist’s
dream, but really isn’t. For all
of its centuries of tradition, it is
a game that can turn debate at
the coffee machine into ancient
history almost overnight.
Which is what the Red Sox
have done in a span of five
warm October days. Remember
back in September, oh,
along about the time summer
turned into autumn, and Boston
was blowing leads in the
ninth inning, and the Yankees
were closing in on first place,
and humiliation, disaster and
embarrassment all appeared
imminent?
Really, now — doesn’t all
that worry and grinding of
molars seem silly? That Red
Sox slump may as well have
happened in the Paleozoic Era
what with the way Boston
crushed the Angels in the 2007
Division Series.
The Sox finished off the West
Coasters with a 9-1 victory, Boston
sweeping its way into the
ALCS which will start Friday
at Fenway Park. The opposition
will either be the Indians
or Yankees, either of whom
should provide more competition
than the injured and underwhelming
Angels did.
“I didn’t think we ever got
too carried away with it,” general
manager Theo Epstein
said of Boston’s September
slide. “It was a little troubling
that it got as close as it did, a
little too close for comfort, but
we knew the Yankees were
never going to go away.
“We had a plan that we were
able to execute early in the
season, and that allowed us to
build a big lead, and be able to

get everything ready for the
playoffs.”
The Sox executed the Angels,
thanks to an excellent performance
by Curt Schilling and a
seven-run explosion in the
eighth inning.
Schilling, working on 11
days’ rest, pitched his best
game since throwing a onehitter
in Oakland on June 7. He
went the first seven innings
and shut out the Angels to
improve his career postseason
record to 9-2, best in history
among pitchers with at least 10
decisions. He is 4-1 in the playoffs
for Boston, those four wins
being tied with Pedro Martinez
for the most by a Red Sox
starting pitcher.
Schilling was lucky in the
early innings, and admitted it.
The Angels fouled off some
pitches that were hittable, and
six of their first nine outs were
on hard-hit balls. In the third,
he walked Vladimir Guerrero
— one of those unofficial intentional
walks — to load the
bases with two out. He then got
rookie Reggie Willits to foul
weakly to catcher Jason Varitek
to end the inning.
After that, Schilling retired
10 of the next 11 Angels batters,
and 13 of the final 15 he faced.
His last out was a strikeout of
catcher Mike Napoli to end the
seventh with Maicer Izturis on
third.
The Sox responded to that by
scoring seven times in the
eighth, getting doubles from
Dustin Pedroia, Mike Lowell
and Varitek along the way.
After striking out Napoli on
his 100th pitch of the afternoon,
the most he had thrown in a
game since the one-hitter,
Schilling reacted with glee as
he headed from the mound to

Asked to rank Ortiz and

to do so but was clear about

ALDS GAME 2: RED SOX 6, ANGELS 3
Heaven sent: Ramirez home run wins it in ninth
BOSTON — The Angels
weren’t going to let David
Ortiz beat them, so Manny
Ramirez did.
With the largest Fenway
Park playoff crowd (37,706) in
history looking on, Ramirez
cranked a 1-0 pitch from Francisco
Rodriguez over the
Green Monster seats and deep
into the night, a three-run
shot with two outs in the ninth
that gave the Red Sox a 6-3
victory.
The Sox head to Anaheim
with a 2-0 lead in the best-offive
series, and with eight
straight playoff victories over
the Angels.
“This isn’t over and done
with until we get that third
one under our belt,” said
Jonathan Papelbon, who
picked up the victory with 1 1 ⁄3
innings of no-hit relief. “We’ve
got the big daddy, Curt Schilling,
going and anyone would
love to be in that situation.”
Papelbon was the last of
four relievers who combined
for 4 1 ⁄3 innings of no-hit relief,
setting up the ninth-inning
dramatics.
The Angels walked Ortiz
four times, twice intentionally.
Who could blame them
for putting him on with first
base open in the ninth? He has
made a habit of killing teams
in such situations, including
the Halos, whom he eliminated
in the 2004 ALDS with
an opposite-field homer.
Julio Lugo started the
inning with a hard single to
left off Justin Speier. He
moved to second on a groundout.
Rodriguez came in to
strike out Kevin Youkilis before
Angels manager Mike
Scioscia had Ortiz walked.

you,” Sox manager Terry
Francona said. “That’s why
you want to have as many
good hitters as you can, so
they can’t walk you.”
Ramirez said — yes, he
talked to the media after the
game — that he was just trying
to be patient.
“I haven’t been feeling good
(at the plate) all year,” he said.
“When you’re not feeling good
and you still get big hits, that’s
when you know you’re a bad
man.”
Ramirez’s homer and the
work of the bullpen took the
heat off Daisuke Matsuzaka,
who struggled with his pitch
count as he has often in his
first season in the majors. He
needed 31 pitches to get
through the first inning, setting
the tone for his night.
Matsuzaka lasted just 4 2 ⁄3
innings, allowing seven hits
and three runs. He gave up at
least one hit in every inning.
He also walked three.
The Sox had hoped that the
Angels’ unfamiliarity with
Matsuzaka would work in his
favor, but it didn’t. He went
into the game with a 5-3 record
and 2.33 ERA the first time he
faced a team, not counting a
start in Texas when he was
sick.
The Sox gave him a two-run
lead in the first, but it didn’t
last long. Matsuzaka gave up
three runs in the second.
Javier Lopez relieved Matsuzaka
with two outs and two
on in the fifth, and induced a
groundout to end the inning.
It was the only batter he faced.
“From top to bottom, our
bullpen was lights-out,” Papelbon
said. “It started with Javy
going out and setting the
tone.”

Manny Delcarmen erased
the first four batters he faced
before hitting Vladimir Guerrero
on the left shoulder with
one out in the seventh. Hideki
Okajima then came in to face
lefty Garret Anderson. He got
Anderson to fly to center, then
struck out Izturis as fans
chanted “Oka-jima!”
The Sox jumped on Angels
starter Kelvim Escobar for a
pair of runs in the first as J.D.
Drew bounced a two-out,
bases-loaded single up the
middle.
The Sox tied the game in the
fifth.
Pedroia pulled a double into
the left-field corner for the
first hit of his postseason
career. He moved to third on
Youkilis’ check-swing grounder
to the right side. Then,
after Ortiz and Ramirez
walked to load the bases, Mike
Lowell sent a sacrifice fly to
center to bring in Pedroia.
The run probably wouldn’t
have scored in the regular
season because Ramirez
would have made an out
instead of walked. His foul
popup was just out of reach of
catcher Jeff Mathis. The reason
Mathis couldn’t reach it
was that the temporary photographers
section in front of
the regular seats was in his
way.
Escobar’s night was over
after five innings and 101
pitches. He only allowed four
hits, but he also issued five
walks. The Angels’ bullpen
didn’t allow a hit until Lugo’s
single in the ninth.
Escobar was replaced by
Scot Shields, who was helped
in the sixth by an unusual
double play.
Lugo flied to center with
Coco Crisp running on the
pitch from first.
Crisp slid into second and
he waited as Figgins caught
the fly. He raced back to first,
but he never retagged second
and was called out on appeal.

BOSTON — All of the ballots
for this year’s American
League Cy Young Award had
to be passed in by noon, so
what Josh Beckett did here
will have no effect on his
chances to win that esteemed
piece of silver.
But what he did went a long

as one of baseball’s
best big-game pitchers, and
went one-third of the way
toward putting the Red Sox in
the next round of the 2007 playoffs.
Boston’s two big-game hunters,
Beckett and David Ortiz,
delivered as expected and desired
in Boston’s 4-0 victory
over the Angels. They lead the
division series, 1 game to 0. The
teams have today off then play
Game 2.
Daisuke Matsuzaka, who
was 15-12 during the regular
season, will be opposed by Kelvim
Escobar. Escobar was 18-7
in regular-season play, but did
not pitch against Boston.
Beckett hurled a shutout, the
first by a Red Sox pitcher since
Oct. 11, 1975, when Luis Tiant
blanked the Reds, 6-0, in Game
1 of the World Series. Tiant
pitched a five-hitter. Beckett
allowed four, including one to
the game’s first batter, Chone
Figgins. He did not walk anyone
and struck out eight.
Ortiz backed up Beckett with
a two-run homer in the third.
That made it 3-0; Kevin Youkilis
had hit a solo home run in
the first. Both homers came off
Angels starter John Lackey.
The victory was Boston’s
seventh in a row over the
Angels in postseason play. Boston
won the last three games of
the 1986 ALCS, then swept Anaheim
in the 2004 Division
OCTOBER 3
Series.
The victory improved Beckett’s
postseason record to 3-2,
with all three wins coming via
shutouts. He has a superb 1.74
ERA in the postseason and has
allowed 25 hits, and struck out
54, in 51 2 ⁄3 innings.
Lackey, who never pitches
well in Fenway Park, gave up
eight hits and four runs in the
first three innings before settling
down, way too late with
how Beckett was pitching.
Youkilis got things going
with the solo home run, the
first postseason hit of his
career, but Ortiz’s homer was
the key blow emotionally. The
Sox had wasted some early
chances to break it open; Ortiz
did not waste his, though.
“I know this team counts on
myself a lot,” Ortiz said, “and a
lot of guys count on me and
watch how I do things. I take a
lot of responsibility for whatever
is happening around
here.”
While Ortiz’s home run and
RBI totals were down from his
historically high levels during
the regular season, Ortiz
seemed locked in down the
stretch in September and it
was more of the same. In the
aftermath of yet another key
playoff hit, he reflected on
some of what he went through
this summer.
“It’s since like, you know,
people are just kind of used to
seeing you coming through every
at-bat, coming (through)
and doing some damage,” he
said. “And the same people
that watch the game every day,
they never sit down and analyze
that this is not an easy
game to play.
“This is not like a Nintendo
game that you can sit down
and hit a home run or hit a
double or get a hit whenever.”
After Figgins started the
game with a single, Beckett
retired 19 straight Angels batters,
bringing back memories
of Jim Lonborg’s gem in the
second game of the 1967 World
Series, when he pitched a onehitter
to beat the Cardinals,
5-0. Lonborg retired the first 19
St. Louis batters before walking
Curt Flood, then lost the
no-hitter when Julian Javier
hit a two-out double in the
eighth.
Lonborg was also the last
Boston pitcher before Beckett
to have a complete-game win
and not walk anyone. That was
in Game 5 of the ’67 World
Series.
Vladimir Guerrero’s sharp
single in the seventh snapped
Beckett’s string of consecutive
batters retired. Howie Kendrick
had a base hit in the
eighth and Guerrero singled
again in the ninth, this time
with two out. Figgins got as far
as third base in the first and
the Angels got a man to second
base in the eighth.
That was it as far as threats
went. Beckett wound up hurling
merely the seventh postseason
shutout in franchise
history, something Babe Ruth
once did, but Cy Young did not.
