While the top story in my last 24 hours has to be Beckett finishing his complete game by setting aside the Angels like a librarian shelving a book [Ed.: Yes! My own sports analogy!] in time for the Bionic Woman's second episode to start, it was really the realization that BW2 [Ed.: Yes! My own TV acronym!] is the game Counterstrike meeting Blade Runner. At the end of the show, the guy who got booted off Gray's Anatomy is leading a bunch of crouched guys with newbie CS guns down a dark alley towards a fabulously unguarded lit den of baddies when I thought "flashbang" and, lo and behold, t'was so as bang did flash and baddies did give up.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Beckett was crazy good. Lackey didn't have his best stuff. 3 mistake pitches(Youk's 1st inning HR, Youks double, and then Papi's HR) accounted for 3 of the 4 scored.
The Angel offense went to sleep. I don't get it. And they totally screwed themselves in the first inning. Twice while swining to protect the runner they grounded to an infielder when Figgins had the bag stolen clean. Stupid. Beckett's tough. Watching him the '03 series against the Cubs I know if you don't get to him early you're not likely to. That the Angels excuse me swung themselves out of the first gave him a chance to settle into his rythem and then it was over.
Yes, you got hosed on the second inning steal call. That was bad.
We'll have to see what happens tomorrow night. Willits will be out. The Angels will put another stick in the line-up(Morales most likely, he did a good job when the 1b was out with a concussion, maybe Quinlan).
