I hope we get to see some drama out of this series. </br><br></br><br>Thanks for your post, Rick</br>jaqbaldwinThu, 09 Oct 2008 13:57:46 -0000http://www.braveslaunchpad.com/?p=1237#comment-3060820Red Sox fan here. Bring on the Rays indeed! Time for revenge. I think this series has the makings of a classic. I think most baseball fans love the story of the worst-to-first Rays this year, even Sox fans like me. But, I&#39;ll be cheering on the Sox whole heartedly. The team seems to be clicking in high gear at exactly the right time of year. Even with injuries to key players and a middle relief core that&#39;s been less than invincible the Sox have a way of winning. And they beat the best team in the league in six games. <br></br><br>My heart goes out to Angels fans who must feel like the Red Sox are our Yankees. I endured decades of watching my team get their rear end handed to them. All that work, all year long . . . . . . . for nothing. You don&#39;t have to go back very far in time for those feelings either. Just ask any Sox fan how they feel about Grady Little&#39;s maganagement decisions in 2003. All that work, all season long, only for Aaron Boone to make amout to nothing with one swing. </br><br></br><br>Anyway, Sox have a big challenge ahead of them. And they should not take the Rays lightly (although does anyone?). They didn&#39;t finish the regular season with over 90 wins, only to land in second place for nothing. </br><br></br><br>Finally, I jsut have to add this, nothing against the Phillies. But, I&#39;m growing quite anxious abuot the possibility of a Dodgers-Red Sox World Series. Hello, Manny. Welcome back to Fenway. Ohhhhhhhhhh, to be a millionaire and have tix to the game where Manny steps to the plate in an opposing team&#39;s uniform for the first time. Gotta&#39; respect the man for his pure talent. But, at the same time, way to go out in blaze of "glory" ya&#39; jerk.</br>RickThu, 09 Oct 2008 13:49:06 -0000
