They had already blown the division lead when the Yankees rolled into town. The slide really started with the sweep by Tampa Bay.

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.

That would work, Fred.
I just don't wanna be U.P. all night for a Left Coast thriller.

I think they should play the WS like they do Super Bowl. Un-Biased region and stadium.

That means a warm-weather stadium or a dome. Hmmmmmm.....might be a way to finally get Seattle into a World Series.....watching, not playing of course.

I think that they should play the World Series during the day, or early enough that kids under 10 and geezers over 60 will be still awake for more than a coupla innings. It's a heckuva lot warmer during the day too, than at 1:00am.
