The Boston Red Sox had come back from behind in postseason series' before, which is why I think everyone felt they could do it again....and they had Jon Lester on the mound. Lester had not lost back to back starts all year...until tonight.
The Sox just could not come through with the big hits in their chances tonight. And they had chances. Even though David Ortiz did not have a good series, you still had to like his chances with the bases loaded, but he couldn't deliver. Other big bats had chances in good situations, but could not pull it out. The 3-4-5 hitters in the middle of the line-up had no hits on the night, and the entire team was a combined 2-28 after Dustin Pedroia's 1st inning HR.
Hats off to the Rays. No one thought they had a chance at the beginning of the year. They didn't give them a chance even after their start, not a shot at the start of the playoffs, and definately not against the defending champs. But after watching them in this series, I have turned into a believer in the Rays, and I am leaning on them in the World Series vs. Philidelphia.

In other news, I just finished putting together my four-year plan. FOUR YEARS. Four years, as in I just figuratively planned out every class for the remainder of my college life. Although it seems as if it will be helpful in later years to just look at a checklist while registering each semester. But at the same time it felt weird to be placing classes in a column titled Fall and Spring 2010, 2011, and 2012.
I guess since its after midnight, the Gryphons and the Cougars will line up and go at it Monday Night Football style as they play for what looks like it's gonna be a NEW 6 Conference Championship...it appears that there will be a pretty good game going on in Pinetops kicking off around 7 p.m.
