Dice-K's pitching performance last night was one classic for the Red Sox faithful. Talk about shutting down the Division winners at their home field. And slamming the door shut at the end was Papelbon(again).
With veteran Josh Beckett going next and sesational Jon Lester slated after that, the Devil Rays had better get their bats going.
Granted the Sox didn't do much offensively themselves. But Tampa Bay had their chances also. Clutch or as some call it, timely, hitting and mistake free baseball goes a long way in playoff games.
To beat the Sox you have to play real good. I mean the White Sox.
To beat thedefending World Champion Red Sox you have to play extremely good!
Some people have said the Rays have got the Red Sox number. Winning 10 of 18 during the regular season and losing the !st game of the playoffs at home, doesn't resemble that.
Tampa Bay is to the country as the NY Football giants were. I know, we are the bad guys now! The truth hurts.
But this series is all about pitching and the Red Sox have it. Just like they had it last year! Ask the Colorado Rockies.
I love almost all sports. Unless you hit the ball with your head. I never cared for people who swear much, but if you must, just don't use the Lord's name in vain.
The roads around my house are older than most cities in the USA. And the taxes are higher also.
I believe in loyalty. And love the sound of the last lap at the Daytona 500.
I think everyone should see this country before they go to some other and get beat up or worse for just being an American.
And root for whoever you like. But we're gonna win.
