Sox-Angels Countdown

While you wait for the games to start, enjoy this feature based on a Dan Shaughnessy interview of Sox GM Theo Epstein. Jackie MacMullen has a revealing article about Mike Lowell. Bob Ryan discusses the win-win trade between the Marlins and Sox that brought Josh Beckett to Boston. The only bad news right now is that back issues are keeping Tim Wakefield off the ALDS roster, but hopefully he'll be available for the ALCS. Anyone with memories of 2003-2004 wants Wakefield available down the road. I don't know about you, but I'm ready for the postseason to start. Oh, and if you need some playoff reading to get you in the mood for a Sox victory, may I self-indulgently suggest this?
