The Red Sox finished up the regular season with a 3-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins yesterday. The game didn’t really matter in the standings all though it would have been nice to head into the playoffs with a win. The Red Sox will take on the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the ALDS, starting Wednesday. The game time hasn’t been announced yet nor has the pitching rotations. It does look like it will be Josh Beckett vs John Lackey in Game 1 though. Once the times are announced, I’ll be sure to post them. The Sox will have an optional workout today and a full-team workout on Tuesday. So while Theo Epstein and the Sox coaching staff is making roster decisions, let’s take a look at the headlines from the Boston area and Twin Cities media on this “Rally Monday” in Red Sox Nation.
