I agree completely. You never, ever give away a game in a short series. I am sure that the delicate princess Beckett is just fine and he'll come out chucking 97 mph. Let's just hope that he has a good curve and mixes it up.
The advantage is always with the home team in these situations. If Papelbon and KRod hold serve for the next two innings, the tide could shift towards the Sox.
They have two more ABs and the pitchers are giving up 1 run each inning. They need a shutdown job from MDC and Papelbon. We have been unable to get any insurance.
