Oh, that was magical last night! Glorious. We’re all riding high but we’ve still got a job to do and won’t lose focus on what’s in front of us. What with Abreu back in the lineup (still great to see him after his long absence), a lot of guys getting a rest day, and another start by rookie Connelly Early, it feels like we have a fairly fresh-faced lineup today. Masa is in left field and Refsnyder is DH but Cora has been managing for October and it’s worked so far; I won’t question this.

Let’s get after it—go Sox!

First pitch is at 4:10 PM ET on NESN and WEEI.

Good vibes going into game 2.
