Rays over the Phillies in 5.

Rays aren't an underdog story anymore... this series was a slaughter... underdogs don't win like that. People should be rooting for the Phillies if they like underdogs.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Rays will be considered the underdog because of their history. Though not like the Phillies have had much better success.

 

[Dark Donnie]

7-7

 

[NewYorkSpider]

This has been a great game so far.

Not Tonight. 8-7 win. At least they are trying to make a series out of it.

8-7, Boston

Lol. Wtf?

This is why I love Terry Francona. He stayed patient through the whole game and didn't panic. He's one hell of a coach. We all know what happens when the Red Sox get momentum.

 

[Evelisse]

Rays.

 

[Pyroschik]

I can't believe they lost like that. They were doing so well in the first 6 innings.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

This felt like watching a Met game with the Rays being the Mets

 

[Showtime]

I was in complete shock during the entire comeback last night. I couldn't believe it, I just sat there with my mouth open. Exciting as hell.

However, I really don't think this is going to phase the Rays. They are so damn strong willed and are such a talented team. I don't see the Red Sox pulling this out to be honest, but the win still adds to what the Red Sox have done in the postseason.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Beckett has to be vintage Beckett if the Red Sox want a chance of winning this.

 

[Showtime]

Which we haven't seen in a bit. I think he wanted this chance to redeem himself, if the bats are clicking as they did the last 45 - 60 minutes last night and Beckett is the Beckett he was, they have a good shot. Then the luxury of coming back with Lester in game 7 and hot bats, that would be huge for them. However, I really don't see that happening, but after last night, 2004, and 2007...

The Sox proved us wrong

 

[Showtime]

It was a nice win, but the Rays have been legit on all fronts during the postseason. Rays at home is tough.

 

[Dark Donnie]

What's the most you would spend for a ticket to the World Series?

 

[Spidey-Bat]

It's well over $100, IIRC.

 

[Showtime]

I get into Fenway for free, so if they make it that far, I won't spend anything.
