Now mind you, I have given up on the Sox. I have learned to recognize death over the years with this team and they are not going to the World Series this year. However, I could see this series being extended back to the Bronx.
Lowe was a much better pitcher at home during the season and has the added benefit/pressure of playing for a contract in a one game setting. Obviously, if Lowe shows up and pitches the way he is capable, the Sox have a good chance in Game 4.
Assuming the Sox take tonight's game, then we move onto Pedro in Game 5. Say what you will about Pedro against the Yankees and how he isn't the same pitcher he was 5 years ago, Pedro is still Pedro and he will not give up for anything. The Sox have a good chance in Game 5 if Pedro shows up like he did in Game 2.
Game 6 and 7, if by some alignment of the planets the Red Sox make it there, will hinge on Curt producing a solid outing along with Arroyo.
Again, I think the Sox are dead but there are always possibilities when the Yankees haven't won for the 4th time, yet.
