SOX v. TBY Statistics: Sox got nuthin' to worry 'bout
The Sox and the Rays have played 18 games this season, the Rays winning 10 and the Sox 8, but lets take a closer look at one statistic in particular: runs scored. The Sox outscored the Rays by a total of 87 to 67 runs, for an average of 4.8 to 3.7 per game. Each team blanked the other 1 time. The Sox scored in double digits twice, and the Rays, once. In the games that the Rays won, they outscored the Sox by a mere 4.6 to 2.6 average runs per game, but in the games that the Sox won, the average number of runs per game was 7.6 for the Sox and 2.6 for the Rays. Significant difference.

Sonoma - I hate to be a party pooper, but there is another way of look at those Sox v Rays games:
The Rays got the big hit more often than we did... The Sox had had a flare for the dramatic as fo late, but the Rays were clearly the better team after the 7th inning this year... and that's often when playoff games are won and lost.
Let's hope Lady Luck hangs with the Sox through this one.
wow!
i re-read that comment... holy typos!
my bad.
As much as I would love to see the Dodgers hand Boston their arse in the Series this is Tampa Bays year. Do Red Sox fans know they have now become the Yankees and more peeps hate 'em because of it? Once they are no longer the reigning champs the economy will improve and gas prices will go down.
