Rays/Sox

So which way will it go? The Rays seem to be the only team that
consistently stops the BoSox...10 times out of 18 matchups, and most
of those in the latter half of the season. The Rays seem to be the
only team that really have the Soxs' number this year. Add to that the
Sox have only beaten them once at Tropicana, and the first two games
seem a bit scary.

On the other hand, Matsuzaka was the pitcher who did manage to beat
them in Florida, and by the largest whomping that the teams have had
(13-5). If he can help the Sox pull off ALCS game 1, then the Sox (who
have beaten the Rays 7 times out of 9 matchups in Fenway) have a three-
game homestand to take the series...if they can win all three.

This one seems pretty close to call; in some ways, it seems that Tampa
is favored, but these certainly ain't the Sox of old. They have a new-
found way of bringing it out when needed. And I'd love to see them
playing against Manny in the WS...if it comes to that (which is
probaby will on the NL side...)

I'm rooting for the Sox in 7 in a real nail-biter. The series will go
like this:
W L W W L L W

Anyone wanna bet a see-through against the Sox winning the ALCS?

Don't forget that the sox only won 1 game with the Angels during the
regular season. Sox in 6.

Oooh, ooh! 2-zip. But really, it should be 2 outs with men on 1st and
3rd.

It far from over, but I think I like the way this is going....

And there we have it. Game 1; BoSox.

Nice talking to you all... :-)

Hey, and what about that Palin probe...abuse of Power, eh..? What a
surprise.

OK, so my sequence of wins and losses is already off, but I still vote
for BoSox in 7 in a nail-biter. In fact, with the trouncing today at
home!, its already starting to be a bit worrisome....

I hope you're right. Here's hoping the Ray's used up all of their runs
tonight.
