Wow. Talk about a wild ride all season long, only to end with the ultimate showdown at Fenway. Despite taking two of three against the Yankees and tying for first place in the AL East division, the Yankees get the tie breaker by virtue of having won the season against us by two games! At least we played a hell of a third game, with Schilling only giving up one run! Sure, they had their third string pitching in (and we owned them!), but they had their first string hitters in and we shut them down. We pummeled our way into the wild card and didn't win it by coming in the back door. Now is the one day breather before we hit up Chicago for game one on Tuesday afternoon. One small moment in time...the quiet before the storm. All things are equal...the season starts over at ground zero and the battle is on (why do I hear Rocky music in the background and a deep announcer voice saying "because it's 90 feet to home no matter where you are"?).
