8 game winning streak up to this point for ALCS elimination games. If they pull off the comeback, theyre very much resembling the scary late 90's Yankees
Now comes the true test for Tampa
Tampa has a 7-0 lead, they are 9 outs away from securing first world series berth in franchise history... Their lights out bullpen gives up 4 in the 7th, 3 in the 8th, lose it in the 9th after getting the first 2 outs... A day off and plane trip to let it sink in even more...
If Beckett pitches the way he can and the bats can get anything against Shields, Sox will have the clear cut advantage in game 7
Woo f***ing hoo!! I get out at work at 1130 but stayed in the break room until I saw Drew's clutch hit sail over Gross' head
What a demoralizing game for the Rays. How can you cough up a 7 run lead with 9 outs to go? Why was Wheeler left in?
I was saying Fitzy is a representative becuase he is the only "fan" that is really showcased
It is just my belief that how the Sox players have been tested since 04, that they might have an advantage in a long series. But untested teams (Marlins, twice) have proven otherwise
I agree it will go up to 7 games
Even more reason for me to root on the Phillies. Damn Manuel will still manage tonights game even with his mom's passing fresh in his mind
**Billingsley this season vs Philadelphia in 2 games, 0-1 with a 12.22 ERA. **On the road in 20 games, 7-6 with a 3.80 ERA
**Myers this season vs Los Angeles in 3 games, 1-1 with a 1.93 ERA. **At home in 16 games, 8-5 with a 2.99 ERA
******** this team has no heart
Papelbon, Lester, Pedroia, Ellsbury, Lowrie, Delcarmen.... those kids are doing it big for Boston on chump change
3 money players-- Manny, Lugo and Schilling arent even with the team ($38 million)
Ill say it to CowbellKid, Ill say it again. The Angels were 8-1 against Boston in the regular season, 8 game winning streak until the ALDS!! And yes while the Rays won the season series, pretty much even at a 10-8 advantage. Rays batters in the season series held just a .233 avg
