I am amazed at the conceit of the LA Angels. The American League West was the worst division in baseball so obviously they had an easier schedule. I have a lot respect for the teams that play hard and make it to the playoffs. I do not have respect for teams that whine and place blame. How long have Tori Hunter and John Lackey played professional baseball? Hunter with eleven years in the majors and Lackey with six should know that when the post season begins the regular season has ended and all that counts is what you do in October. Well to Hunter and Lackey; October is for the big boys. It is time to bring you’re A game. It is no place for sore losers and cry babies. You did not get it done. Place blame where it belongs. It is now time for you to stand up as men and give credit where credit is due. You were beat far and square [again] by the Boston Red Sox. Suck it up! You are NOT the better team. If you would like to see the better team, turn on TBS. The schedule is posted below.

He came across as a whining bad-sport baby. Grow up. I'd be embarrassed to hear this cr*p if I were his teammates. I agree. He came across as a whining bad-sport baby. Grow up.

Dear Mr. Lackey: Before you take your dolly and run home, tell your teammates to learn how to field the fucking ball. It aint rocket science. Sincerely, Red Sox Nation I just want to kick this dead horse one more time.

You lost, get over it. The Red Sox won the series on defense, timely hitting, and Jon Lester doing a Christy Mathewson impression. I used to like Lackey, now I just think he’s a freaking baby.

D’OH! seriously, dude, you can’t fault the sox for actually, you know, catching the balls when they are hit at them. that’s kind of the point of fielding, no? this is clearly misplaced anger…he should be absolutely enraged, but enraged at his own teammates that they are incapable of making routine plays. hey Lackey, you know why the Red Sox are moving on the ALCS and you’re not? because they don’t have 3 guys stop and stand there looking up at a ball that none of them catch.

I mean, maybe they should have a better defense then, lame-o Angel poopheads. Nyah nyah! Yeah, the “they suck, they beat us on bloop hits” argument is pretty weak.

If Lackey wants to say the Sox were lucky, fine. But he needs to come up with an example from a game that the Red Sox actually won. Otherwise, it's a pretty flimsy argument.

If anyone I'd say it maybe should have been Kendrick's error but it was just one of those things and it seems he thinks if that's scored an error it would have made a difference? It's not like runs can't score on errors. I don't get it.

The AL East had four teams over .500, while the West only had one. The only reason I thought this series was too close to call heading in was that the Sox were dealing with so many injuries. I do agree with Lackey that the fluky pop-up should have been charged as an error, but the official scorer would have a hard time deciding which fielder should have had it.
