Playoff bound, but.... OUCH!!!!
It wasn't supposed to end this way. The Ray's dive to the bottom of the sea in their last three games, and the Sox thrash the Yanks in their last three. That's the way it was supposed to end. It even looked like Mother Nature was going to bat for the Sox as well. The Sox had a 3-1 lead after the 1st, but the Yanks would score in every inning afterward up until the game was mercifully stopped in the middle of the 5th with the Sox on a short end of a lopsided 13-4 score. If only the rain had continued, that score would have been wiped out and the game would start over, but it was not meant to be. The rain relented, the game ensued, the Yanks continued to vent their frustrations running the score up to 19-8. Ugh. This isn't the way it was supposed to end. Let's hope this bitch-slap the Sox got tonight knocks some playoff-winning sense into them.

Yeah... that was ugly.
It seems that Francona decided to run the B-squad out there and rest our heroes for the big dance. Not getting pneumonia is a plus as well.
As monkey king Dubya would say "stra-tee-jer-ee!"
Same thing happened to the Twins. They sweep CWS and then lose to KCR (which BTW, has the best record in September, believe it or not.)
Now how can I convince my wife to let me go to Anaheim after just leaving for a week in Boston?
Once Tito decided to start Pauley, you knew that the SOX were conceding the division.
19-8?
That score sounds familiar, especially between the SOX - YANKS. Game 3 of the 2004 ALCS, right before the SOX went on a run of epic proportions. 19-8. Remember, take out the - and put in a 1.....1918? It was good luck before.
