They were a game and a half down when the series started. If they had won even one or two, they still woulda been close.

Of course, I really think that the timing of the Sox's injuries killed 'em more than anything else. They had theirs late; the Yankees had theirs early and managed to adjust.

Of course, Manny taking a September vacation didn't help either.
