Lucky?
I have no idea if this thought is being kicked around on tv, print, and internet, because I haven't looked. But it seems to me the Sox were actually really lucky to win that game.
They started off great, but two relatively "lucky" breaks really went their way last night:
-the bad hop that went off womack's chest, leading to runs;
-bellhorn's ball hitting the pole, despite the strong winds in right field.
Maybe there were just as many unlucky breaks that went against them (the most obvious being manny's foot getting stuck in the turf, causing him to pull up short and miss that ball), but history tells us the Sox usually don't get breaks at all.
