The California/Anaheim/L.A. Angels pulled off a stunning top of the ninth inning, two out, 3 run come from behind victory over the wild-card Boston Red Sox in the ALDS at Fenway Park today.
The Angels overcame some base running mistakes earlier in the inning to win the series and advance to the American League Championship Series against either the Yankees or Twins.
As baseball fans know, the Red Sox have had their share of cursed games in the past. Whether this game was proof of a curse's return or simply a blessed Angels team using their angelic batter's (s)wings to rise above the confines of Fenway park, is a discussion for future classic baseball television.
As of now the Angels are wing flapping toward the ALCS, trusting in the baseball God's to continue lifting them possibly to the World Series. Wow, talk about being the wind beneath their wings, Sheesh!
