The Tampa Bay
Devil Rays - this team couldn't fill their stadium all year if their future had depended on it. Despite all of that, they somehow manages to climb to the top of the AL East and are now battling for the league championship. The Red Sox, down 3 games to 1 in the series and down 7-0 in the seventh inning managed to pull out the magic that we citizens of Red Sox Nation have come to expect and thanks to the help of Big Papi, Youk and JD Drew are still alive to face the Rays tonight in Game 7. If we still lived in New England, this would all be par for the course; looking sleepy at your desk after a long fought 9 innings the night before; the look of expectation and sudden lift of hope and happiness could easily be attributed to the heroics of New England's favorite boys of summer.
Sadly, we don't live in New England anymore. Here in Florida, the team that couldn't fill a stadium all year suddenly has diehard Rays fans and there are cowbells everywhere. What is a Sox fan to do? Simple...stay up late to watch games and read the Boston Globe online...oh, yeah one more thing...send sympathy cards to all of those poor Rays fans when they lose tonight.
GO SOX!
