Is the Boston Dream Over?

As I write this in the hours before Game 3 of the ALCS, the convetional wisdom says that the Sox are finished. With Schilling likely done for the year, how can Boston expect to climb out of a 2-0 hole? Well, I'm not counting the Red Sox out, because I've been thinking about how the ALCS played out last year. Tonight's game, with Arroyo pitching at home against a shaky Kevin Brown, is very winnable for Boston. And if they win tonight, New York will have a 2-1 lead after three games. Last year, New York had a 2-1 lead after three games, and the Sox definitely weren't done. Another thing- the Red Sox didn't have Schilling last year but they still got to the 11th inning of Game 7.

It is conceivable that the Yankees come in all business, ignoring the Fenway catcalls, and close out the series this weekend. But something tells me that there's at least one big surprise left in this series. After all, we're talking about playoff baseball.
