What was the third time?

 

He hit a bases clearing triple in Boston to give Baltimore the lead. He hit a inside the parker against Beckett to put the first game of the series away. And of course, what just happened like 30 minutes ago. I would want to punch him if I were a Red Sox fan right now.

because the Yanks are 6-12 vs Boston this year

 

the first 5 months of the season are irrelevant. the Red Sox September implosion is historic in it's proportions and they would have done nothing in the postseason had they managed to limp in.

It's amazing, was it an inning earlier that it looked like the Red Sox might just make it out alive? The Yankees had first and third with no outs and Aceves just got out of that jam to hand the game over to Papelbon. Then BANG it's over.

Red Sox had a 95.3% chance of winning in the 9th. The Rays literally had no chance of winning in the 8th. Amazing stuff.

lol, the Yankees didnt throw that game..

 

They "took it easy" by using a pitcher committee, but when youre up 7-0 you dont all of the sudden go "alright, NOW we throw this game!!"

 

:notworthy :notworthy

 

Yep, getting to a point where Tampa was a strike away from losing probably isn't a smart decision by the Yankees if they did throw the game on purpose

This might be the most unbelievable night of baseball I can recall.

 

Honestly, it is. I kept wanting to turn the games off for good because I didn't want to deal with watching things go the exact opposite way of what I wanted. Then, it was suddenly exactly what I wanted.

I really don't care, not a Red Sox fan, I guess I just find it curious that they blow a 7 run lead late in the game, how many times have the Yanks blow that large a lead that late in the game this year?I'm guessing not many if at all.

 

Anyways, I'm pulling for the Rangers and Tigers in the AL.

Hey Carl, there will be a ticket left at will call for you if youre interested in attending a playoff game.

 

 

--Rays

 

Hahaha nice. It's fitting that Crawford was the one who dropped the ball Andino hit and made a poor throw to home plate.

 

There was a lot of weird stuff today.

 

For instance, Pence hit a single to send Berkman to the playoffs and kept Bourn away from it. All former Astros.

 

And of course, Crawford dropped the ball in LF to help the Rays win the WC. Very weird. If only Dan Johnson played for the Red Sox before...

Really - its hard not to want to watch the playoffs this year after that. You also have to wonder if they might reconsider wanting to expand the playoffs.
