For those of you who missed it, or those who turned away early, the Red Sox have lived for another day after coming back from 7 runs down to beat the Rays 8-7. The comeback was the second largest in playoff history, behind only the Philadelphia Athletics (yes the A's played in Philly....way, way, way back) in 1925.
The Sox now have to go back down to Tampa Bay and the Trop....how come that name never stuck 'til the Rays finally began to win? Personally, and maybe slightly biased, I think the Sox have the better chance to come back and win two straight on the road. The comeback showed them that they CAN do it, and the Rays have got to be feeling some pressure after being 7 runs up with 7 outs between them and the World Series.
Regardless of what happens, Game 6 on Saturday night (and, hopefully, Game 7) should be a good game. Also, my pick to win the World Series is the American League winner, regardless if its the Rays or the Red Sox. I like the Phillies, but I just think that a) the Red Sox experience combined with coming off a 3-1 defecit, or b) the Rays and their young talent will be too much for the Phils.
For those of you that have been to Fenway Park, I envy you. Hearing that place roar last night makes me want to visit there even more. The history there, the Green Monstah, and the Sox combine to make it a magical place.
