I agree. Congrats to the Rays. We should all understand the excitement that their fans are feeling now.
And thanks to the Sox for another great year. They just couldn't get that key base hit tonight.
Anybody that wants to criticize the Sox or Francona for what transpired this year or this series is way off base (pun intended!).

Yep - got a lot out of the Sox this season considering they were less capable than previous years. Becket, Ortiz hurting, no Lowell, they did great to get this far.

You hit the nail on the head. Add to that having to play 4 games in that dump of a stadium and the Sox did pretty well to make it to the 7th game. I'm already looking forward to hot stove talk.
As for the WS, I think Tampa has a good shot, but I'll be rooting for the Phils. |

Tampa has some stud young pitchers. Price looks unhittable. Hopefully the sox' young pitching continues to develop, and hopefully they don't give a bunch of it awy for Pevey.
I can't route for a team with Johny Gohms or Brett Myers, so I'm out on baseball this year.
When do the Celts start the regular season?

Price was teetering on the choking collapse last night, almost looked as if he would walk the Sox to victory (one could hope).
I'm all for the Rays winning so the players can ca-ching elsewhere and break up the team  |
