Last night was a turning point game for the Sox - biggest win all season. When they held the line at 4-1, I was thinking of game #4 of the ALCS last year - I knew they would come back.
The Curse of Arod is in full effect. Sox win out now, and it will absolutely cement Slappy McBluelips as the leader of the worst clutch team of all time....Mystique and Aura are dead and buried.
Sox down one game (to maintain thier underdog status) to the Jankees with three left at Fenway Park to end the season. Who could have scripted this better?
Time for Fat Boy to step up. Wang WILL collapse. He has not only never pitched at Fenway, he has never even set foot inside Fenway. (HE was in the minors the last time they were here.) No way he gets through 5 tonight - then in comes...who??? Leiter (5.55)? Embree(7.71)? Proctor(5.71)? Rodriguez (4.99)?
GO SOX!
