Pinch Me
It's late, so I think I might be dreaming. It's two in the morning and Red Sox Nation is somewhere between sleep and exhilaration.
Did Pedro really just throw that amazing game? Regularly hitting the mid-90s, getting the big outs when he needed them? Holding the Angels to only three runs?
Did the Sox really pull ahead against the most dominant guy in the best bullpen in the league? Then pile on against another member of that vaunted pen?
Did the Red Sox really open the postseason 2-0, needing only one win at Friendly Fenway to move on?
Did Theo really smile for a fraction of a second after the 4-run ninth inning? Did Foulke really just cruise through his outing?
I must be dreaming.
