Agreed. Nothing is a cake walk. My preferable path through the playoffs would be to face Cleveland in the ALCS and Arizona in the World Series though. Arizona would be our easiest match-up. I don't think they'd be nearly as difficult as any of the other playoff teams.
I was pleased with Gagne's outing. I know he sucked in the beginning, but not pitching for a little over a week causes some rust. He shook it off and pitched well afterwards.
Well done, Sox. Onto the ALCS. See ya at Fenway!

Re-size them if you must.
Others who were involved in this, feel free to add some.
What an exciting team to watch. Should the Sox and Rox meet in the playoffs (yeah, I know, let's get there first), they'd be a very, very difficult team to beat. They're loaded with young talent that will only get better.
