The Red Sox players were quite relaxed in the clubhouse again today. After a solid 4-0 victory over the Angels in Game One of the ALDS Wednesday night at Fenway Park, confidence was oozing throughout Boston.
Julio Lugo was sporting a lime-green outfit as he left the park Wednesday night. Coco Crisp spent 20 minutes chatting with the local and national media. It felt more like a spring training atmosphere than the postseason.
It was much of the same today.
After a brief optional workout, where most of the players participated, Kevin Youkilis spoke about having an off-day today, and whether it's a good thing or a bad thing.
“It’s depends if we win Game Two,” he said. “A whole day off isn’t bad for the whole team. The biggest thing about having these days off is the opportunity where Josh Beckett can come back and pitch. And if he can pitch like he did last night, it’ll be good to have him in Game Four. . . There's always a positive and negative to all this. For me, it’s not a big deal. It’s just another day hanging out in Boston and relaxing.”
Don't think for a moment, however, that the Red Sox are too confident.
“Hopefully it set the tone,” said J.D Drew of the team's Game One victory. “I think it was definitely a great statement.”
