Well, it wouldn't be an ALCS for the Boston Red Sox if they weren't down and "out" or should I say, ALMOST out. 48 hours ago the Red Sox were just a few outs away from being eliminated from the ALCS and playing SKINS against the Yankees, but they battled back and are now staring down the barrel of a game 7.
Jason Varitek's game winning homerun came in the best case scenario. With the game tied at two in the sixth, Tek picked a very opportune time to swing for the fences and put the Red Sox up 3-2. It was perfect timing by the captain.So what was the actual story of this game? The Boston bullpen was lights out, pitching four innings of no-hit ball. Okajima pitched two very solid innings, Masterson took care of the eighth and the best closer in the history of the MLB, Papelbon closed out the ninth with his usual fire.
The Boston Red Sox are on the brink of yet another ALCS comeback. Whatever happens tomorrow night, the Red Sox have proven they have a bigger heart then any team in the MLB. The Red Sox have won nine straight elimination games in the ALCS. Now, they just need to do it one more time. I guess the DVR will have to take care of the Amazing Race for me tomorrow night, all eyes on the Carton tomorrow night for Red Sox nation.
