Maybe I'm going to sound like a traitor here, because I was born in NY and lived in the area 29 years, but I truly hope the Sox win tomorrow night, and get to the series, and win the whole thing. It is time after 86 years! I was on the edge of my seat in 1986 when the Sox imploded in Game 6 of the World Series. (And just for that year, I was actually rooting for the Mets, because we had tickets for Game 7, and I wanted to go, and see the Mets win in person, which is how it happened, so I was happy)
Back to the Sox. What they have done is amazing. I honestly thought after Game 3 that they would be swept, or at most, done in five. To win two games as they did in Boston, and especially Game 5 with how it went, and then to do what they did tonight is amazing. Of course, it could all come to be moot if the Yankees win tomorrow. One has to think, though, that with how this series has gone, that it would be the Yankees on the defensive tomorrow night. My Braves did a horrid thing in 1996 after blasting the Yankees the first two games in the Bronx as they did, and then losing four straight. It was humiliating, and eight years later, they still havent atoned for that screw up. Of course, it's not over, and the Yankees could pull it out tomorrow, but if the Sox do win, this win by the Sox would be one of the best in pro sports history, and the Yankees choke would be worse than any Braves choke or any other choke in history.
So, Go to it Sox, go get em tomorrow night, and finish the job of making King George and his Yankees have the most imfamous choke in pro sports history!
