1) Absolutely everything seemed to go the Sox's way vs. the Nationals. We got a strike zone very favorable to us on Saturday (which resulted in Riggleman getting tossed), one bang-bang play was miscalled in favor of us, and it seemed as though every line drive off of Peavy late in the game Saturday was caught. Yesterday, every time we needed something, it seemed to happen for us, ditto friday.
I completely agree...it was ridiculous how many hard hit balls they had right at our defenders. Also, the umpiring all series was extremely beneficial to the Sox. However, these things happen, and it's great we were able to take advantage of it.
