The Red Sox Nation Exhales Slowly...............

..................

Pedro is back as the Bosox win 8-3 to go up 2-0 in their five game series against the Anaheim Angels. The bullpen pitched a beautiful game as they took over for Pedro in the eighth and the trio of Timlin, Myers and Foulke pitched two shutout innings, retiring 6 of 7. The bats have continued to roar as well, as Boston put up 17 runs in two games in Anaheim including last nights four run ninth inning, effectively ending the game.

The Red Sox Nation can breathe a little easier.

For now.

The Yankees won last night too. And all true Red Sox fans know that the path to glory is always beset by evil, so it comes as no surprise to anyone that we will have to play the Yankees to get there. Wouldn't have it any other way.

But damn did Pedro look good last night. He keeps pitching like that, and the bats keep hitting like that, and this is gonna be one fun October....
