I actually posted in the seventh with the team down 7-0. I have saved that draft and may "nuke it, burn it, destroy it. It pains me to know it exists."
What a game. What a game. What a game.
Just when everyone (including me) has them counted out, the Red Sox fight back and win one of the most improbable comeback victories in postseason baseball history. So much to discuss. Pedroia a huge two out single to break the ice. Papi finally contributes with a three run bomb, JD launches a two run missile to pull the team within one and Coco puts on a tremendous at bat to tie the game. A Longoria error leads to JD's heroics in the bottom of the ninth.
Lost in much of this is a couple of perplexing moves by the Rays. How could you give life to the defending champs? Balfour literally opens the door in seventh. Maddon allows him to pitch to Papi. Left handers Howell and Miller in the bullpen waiting. Then he brings in Wheeler to hold the lead by getting the last seven outs. Perplexing.
It was weird listening to WEEI the last two days. Many fans voiced their displeasure and even questioned the team's heart. Even if next game or the game after leads to the end of the season, no one should question this team's courage and heart. A great way to send the Fenway Faithful home.
