Yes, it was a long night alone in the Shed last night. Thanks to Andy for allowing me to watch what the Globe calls the "dismantling" of the Sox. It was definately not what any of us hoped would happen. It was worse.
But, let's not dwell on the past. Let's just use it to see where the minds of the Sox are. During the game last night, they showed a stat that 15 teams have been down 3-1 in ALCS play. Of those 15, 4 have come back to win. The Red Sox have done it 3 of those 4 times! Talk about psyching out an opponent! The announcers were saying that the Rays were not practicing today because there would be reporters around asking, "What if you loose the next one?" And the Rays mangement didn't want that seed planted in their player's heads! They're scared that their VERY young club will loose their confidence and their edge!
The Red Sox have the Rays right where they want them! Cowering in the lead, constantly looking over their shoulder to see WHEN their lead will shrink and disappear! I love this team! Francona is a GENIUS!
