Jason Bay helped the 2-out rally in the first with his long ball to the rock pile. Dice-K was his normal self; going 5 innings, getting out of jams, but never looking that great. Okajima and Masterson both pitched well but made a few mistakes allowing the Angels to tie the score in the bottom of the 8th. K-Rod came in and was a little too animated after getting the third out in the 8th, he would not look so happy after Drew put the Sox on top for good with a homer in the 9th. Papelbon went two full innings and shut down the Angels to get the win. Youk gets the web gem of the night for his great catch in the camera well. We did see a series of temper tantrums by Angels players throughout the game as they watched their 100 win season disappear right before their eyes.
