How appropriate Boston's season ends with the bottom of the order stranding a guy. That's been their Achilles heel all season.
Lester was good tonight, Garza was better. I like this Tampa team, if not so much the cowbell and mohawked fans, and I congratulate them. I can't say I'm cheering them on in the WS, as the Philles are the local team for me and are in a very, very, very, (VERY) distant second to the Red Sox for me. I have a lot of friends who are Phillies fans, so go Phils! The Red Sox have been my team since 1987 when I still lived in CT. and were my grandfather's team going back to Jimmie Foxx. Grandpa, my Red Sox are better than yours.
Boston themselves have nothing to be ashamed of. Game 5 was incredible, and they'll be contenders for years to come. My car thanks them for losing tonight, as it has a lisence plate and bumper sticker with the Red Sox logo on it. Living in a Philadelphia sports town, my tires most likely won't be slashed.
