I've always thought Wakefield was great, it was very nice to see him win that first one, particularly when the team only scored two runs... but it's the other two wins, both much more convincing (with the Jays not scoring more than 2 runs in any of the three games), that really were the tone of the series. Ortiz even finally managed to hit a home run...
You're not the most explosive offense when you're losing most of the time to the Yankees and Red Sox, the league's two best teams... you're just doing a good job winning against the rest of the teams, and then lose when you face your serious competition. Not too surprising. :)
Oh yeah, and the Yankees' recovery is impressive... annoying (can't we have ONE season where they just do badly? Please? Particularly when they spend $200 million on their salary? :)), but given how much they spend, unfortunately probably it had to happen sometime. Oh well... hopefully it ends soon. :)
