BTW, my son is trying to recruit me to "jump on the skins bandwagon". He believes they will be at Tampa. I told him they probably would be there, but they will be spectators. My loyalty has always been, and always will be with America's Team. Yep, I know what happened 2 weeks ago. Doesn't change my loyalty at all. |

As a Phillies fan I would like to thank Manny "for just being Manny" last night.

Twins @ Tigers...
...2-3 after two at Ford Field.

Anyway, the Sox got the split they wanted, although not the mini-sweep that they would've loved. They don't have Lowell for this series and Beckett is just not himself. I don't think he's really healthy after his DL stint in September. He's trying to gut it out, but he just doesn't have it. Lester goes tomorrow, then either Dice-K or Wakefield. (Ortiz is not himself, either, but that goes back to his wrist injury.) |

I thought they played in Detroit, but Orlovsky and I were in Detroit. :) |
Before I leave.....
Screw the BoSox!:D |
I wonder if Chuck went to bed when it was 7-0.
It's now 7-6. Should be an exciting finish. |

Chuck is surely to find out before too long!!! ;) Nice comeback, even though I'm rooting for the Rays. :cool: |

Biggest postseason comeback in 70 years. Biggest postseason comeback in an elimination game ever!! I can't honestly say that I'm really all that optimistic about coming all the way back, though. Beckett just hasn't been right since the September injury, and except for the last 3 innings last night, the Sox haven't been able to hit at all. They've only won twice in St. Pete all season, and now they have to win 2 in a row? Doesn't seem real likely, but I'll keep watching, obviously. At least last year, they were coming back to Boston for the last two games. Francona is 8-1 in Sox postseason elimination games. Last night was the anniversary of the only one he's lost. Aaron $%&#@ Boone!! :mad: EDIT: Last night was the anniversary of the Aaron Boone game, but I just realized that was '03 -- before Francona's arrival. So now I have to dig a little more to remember the elimination game the Sox lost with Francona as manager. Must have been '06. . . |

Got 11/2 to take the Sox to win the series when they were down 3-1. :D
Game 7 Sunday night! |
Gotta hand it to 'em. Rays beat us up pretty good all season. They had every chance to fold and never did. Congratulations.
A Pedroia home run in the first, and then no more runs. It should've been all over in Game 5. I really thought they were going to get to Garza. :( |
