And another Red Sox player goes down in post-season history:
…and, previous post’s sentiments otherwise, I’ve ALWAYS thought he was and is “THE MAN”.
OK, I was wrong. And maybe about Stephen Drew as well. So sue me.
Gotta give the Tigers credit, though, their starting pitching was beyond Jake – Sanchez, Scherzer, and Verlander gave the Sox everything they could handle and more. But seven-game series are all about exploiting weakness and making the best of opportunities when they present themselves, and that’s what Boston did once David “Big Papi” Ortiz gave them life with that grand slam in Game 2. Boston’s bullpen was unmatched and Detroit’s not so much.
I think Prince Fielder is going to have a long, cold winter. He’s getting paid an awful lot of money to play as badly as he did.
But I’m reserving my tickets for Xander Bogaerts’ induction into the Hall of Fame in July 2042. I hope Cooperstown has sufficient accommodations for a worn out, broken down old fart like I’ll be. If they serve Sam Adams I’ll be OK.
Hard to believe the Red Sox are heading back to the World Series. And I’m going to be there to see the triumph and tragedy, whichever way it breaks. Awesome. Time to break out the Red Sox World Series anthem “Tessie” once more:
Bring on the Cards. GO SOX.
