So we have to do this the hard way. Red Sox 7, Indians 1.
Wedge will take heat for sending C.C. Sabathia out for the 7th inning, and maybe he should. I was shocked when he came back out, having barely survived the 6th, and already over 100 pitches.
But it didn't matter, since we scored one run. On to Boston.

The one I can't get over is Perez. What is up with him? Now I admit I didn't get to see the Tribe much during the regular season, because they don't get played on TV around here, and it looks like Perez had a very good year, stats-wise. So maybe the more informed fan doesn't get a sinking feeling when he walks on the field. But so far in this postseason, Perez is just "The guy who throws 2 out of three pitches in the dirt, can't field, and has an infinite ERA".
Give Boston credit, too, though. Beckett and Papelbon were fantastic.
