Electric atmosphere at Fenway last night... I can only imagine what tonight must be like up there with the Yanks visiting. More later... dinnertime! ;-)
Sox have almost no margin for error. I hope the bats wake up tonight - back to the 7-8 runs per game they were scoring at home over the summer.
Look for the Yankees to avenge their collapse after leading the playoff series 3-0 last year. Look for the Red Sux fans to be scratching their heads and complaining about the Cleveland Indians being the wild card team while they are drinking Sam Adams beer in front of television sets next week.
The Post Season Starts right HERE.
Not going to happen.
Pingerooni!
I can't believe we're going through this...again.
I'm still at work...will be home just in time for the first pitch:)
But then again, haven't we been down this road before?
A classic series. I love baseball like this!!!!
It's been a great season. What an ending! I noticed the opening and closing games being v. NYY (noticed it in April), and recall wondering then whether the race would hinge on the last series of the regular season.
One Bosox championship per lifetime - no exceptions!!!
Are you ready for some baseball?
[/apologies to Hank Jr.]
I guess this is the thread for the series.
Ready
ping a ling a ding....
Who will be Bucky bleepin Dent or Dave Roberts this time around?
My guess is that whoever out of A Rod or Papi have the better series will win this series and win the AL MVP....
and I think Colon has locked up the AL CY Young as well...
One Indians fan here rooting for the BoSox. Hopefully the Tribe will win the wild card, the Red Sox win the AL East, and the Yankees go home!
