Well, not us as in Bostonist and its beloved readers. But the Angels hate coming here once the first fall wind blows. They can barely win a playoff game here to save their lives, and lost their second straight at Fenway with a sour taste in their mouths.

Bostonist has obtained a picture of the 2009 Red Sox just before they embarked on their make-or-break week playing their top AL East rivals. If it looks like Sonny Corleone seconds before he was perforated by Barzini's men, it's not a coincidence.

Yahoo! Sports reports the Red Sox offered pitchers Clay Buchholz and Michael Bowden and outfielder Ryan Westmoreland to Toronto for Roy Halladay. According the the report, the Sox offered "at least" those three prospects. Gordon Edes of Yahoo! Sports said Daniel Bard and Casey Kelly are "off-limits" to trades. The Globe reported the Yahoo! report. According to ESPN's TV bottom ticker thingie - technical term - Peter Gammons says this deal is unlikely as the Sox want to keep Westmoreland.

Baseball can be an exciting, intense and creative enterprise. You wouldn't notice that after Saturday's run-filled spectacle that featured 10 pitchers, 14 walks, four errors, 24 runs and one torrential downpour en route to a 15-9 Red Sox win. Boston's powerful offense was on display, too. The Sox scored runs in the first four innings, including three, each, in the first two innings to build a 9-0 lead. Boston had three runs in four different innings.

A day after beating the Phillies 11-6, the Red Sox found themselves on the wrong end of that same score yesterday. That doesn't happen every weekend.

Unfortunately, when a knuckleballer is your most reliable starter, there are going to be days of disappointment. Last night was one of those nights.
