I think they plan it this way...

I think some of the professional sports teams in New England plan it this way.

I mean, c'mon...the Red Sox are down 3-1 in the ALCS, they've just lost 2 games AT FENWAY, to the Rays. This game has Dice-K being benched after giving up multiple runs. And they still squeak out a wak-off-win, 8-7.

I think they do this just to keep us fans still caught up in the Playoffs. What other explanation could there be???

Even if the Red Sox go no further in the Playoffs...this was the game of their year. It really was. Because now we face 2 games IN Tampa Bay, to win our way to the World Series again. I guess we shall see...
