All Eyes Are On The ALCS!

How big was Casey Blake's home run to lead off the bottom of the 5th inning? Casey ignited a 7-run charge and added the final RBI of the inning with a single in his second at bat of the same inning! This was a little different from Saturday night when he led off the 7-run 11th inning with a strike out and ended the same inning with a strike out. This team has a different hero step up every night!

Paul Byrd pitched 5 scoreless innings until he tired in the top of the 6th inning. This was classic Byrd as he allowed 2 runs on 6 hits with 4 strike outs and no walks...Outstanding!

Jhonny Peralta continues his torrid post season attack with a 3-run home run in the 7-run 5th inning! Jhonny is batting .406 with 2 home runs and 9 RBIs in this post season!

Victor Martinez and Johnny Peralta celebrate Peralta's 3-run home run in the 5th inning!

Congratulations to Kenny Lofton as his stolen base in the 5th inning makes him the all-time leader in post season steals with 34!

Manny being Manny!

The magic is back but it is different than before...better...more magical!

This team never quits, never gives up, and refuses to be awed by any opponent. The enthusiasm and team work being displayed are paying huge dividends to this exciting group, as well as their fans and a city that are all bracing for a chance to win it all!

Call it magic, call it whatever you want but more importantly...

Believe It!
