ALDS Game 3 Angels vs Red Sox Live Thread
Can The Red Sox Finally Get The Offense Going? [ALDS Game 3 Live Thread]
The Red Sox offense has been atrocious so far in the ALDS against the Angels. John Lackey, Jered Weaver and the bullpen held the Sox to a combined total of 1 run off 8 hits in two games.

Now, they're heading back to Boston, where the Red Sox bats usually come alive. The Red Sox were 56-25 at home this season, and they tend to thrive in Boston.

The Sox have been one of the more resilient teams in baseball lately, but this series is looking quite risky.

67% of FanIQ users predict the Red Sox will win this one and stay alive. If they don't, then their season is over. If you're watching (12:07 pm EST, on TBS) then chat it up here. As always, enjoy the game!

Anyone else find it strange that the Boston play-by-play guy is also doing it for the playoffs on TBS? Granted, he is a solid announcer but you have think that some bias might slip in. Unless the TBS color guy is the Angels color guy also.
Either way I don't really care.
Also go Red Sox so my roomate won't kill himself

I thought that was weird too, and it almost seems like they're over-compensating for it, because Buck Martinez (the other announcer, who normally works with the Orioles, I believe) seems to be more biased for the Red Sox than Orsillo. It's actually annoying me, even as a Sox fan.

Personally, I think it would be cool to have one announcer from each team for the playoffs. I think it would make things interesting.

Maybe both the Angels announcers suck, which could be the case with any two teams. It would be interesting to have what you suggested though, especially if the announcers started fighting with each other

Boston is very familiar with Kazmir. Home is also the best medicine. As i said in the pickem thread, this series have "5" written all over it. Lets go Sox, put the pressure on the Angels!

No Angel announcers wouldn't suck no more than say Mets announcers. Rex Hudler and Steve Physioc do an alright job.

Crap ! off to watch crappier west coast tv football. Raiders/Giants and Chiefs/Cowboys both games blow. But I would find enjoyment in a Dallas lost.

Bard shuts the door, after allowing only 1 inherited runner to score. I like it.

Hmm not sure why you brought the Mets into this...I was creating a hypothetical situation about something that was relevant and could be true.

And for the record, apparently TBS thinks the Mets have at least one good announcer because Ron Darling, one of the Mets color guys, has been doing the Phillies/Rockies series.

Ok fair enough.

Wow... not really thrilled that Papelbon let those two inherited runners score, but picking off Reggie Willits was awesome.

Clearly, Jonathan Papelbon wants me to die young.

Memo to Jonathan Papelbon: You're still no Mariano Riveria.

(And I say that as a mutual hater of both the Yankees and Sox).

I know one of the announcers is Rex Hudler, and he's as crazy and unpredictable as they come calling games.
