Excruciating game to watch. All the good work undone in one fell swoop, with that 5-run inning. Tony G might have a hard time walking around Boston now. Didn’t it feel like a bad omen when, after Buehrle had been on the ropes for so much of the game, the Sox went out and gave him what seemed like a 5-pitch inning?
I saw the ‘03 ALDS and the ‘04 ALCS, so clearly I know the Sox can come back. You know, Paul Konerko forgets to touch home plate in a collision with Varitek… Aaron Rowand tries to swipe the ball out of Tim Wakefield’s hand… but we shall see. One day at a time, one day at a time.
