Huge games last night in the NLCS and ALCS.
The Rays were very impressive - to say the least - in blasting the Sox in Fenway on Monday night. Not only that, but they stole Jon Lester's considerable mojo. Winning a pivotal game in Fenway is impressive, but beating Lester is even more impressive.
Now if the Red Sox are known for anything, it's staging Carolinaesque comebacks in the playoffs (ask Joe Torre, ask the Indians about last season's ALCS), so you never know.
However, I don't think that's going to happen this series, not with Tim Wakefield on the mound for game 4. It will be an interesting test for a young team like the Rays to see if they can be patient against a knuckle baller like Wakefield. But I think the Rays will figure him out, and take game four tonight.
Speaking of four, I still can't believe the Phillies scored that many times against the Dodgers bullpen in the eighth. With Cole Hamels on the mound for game 5, things look good for the Phillies. Oddly enough, the Phillies received no votes in our recent poll of who would win the World Series.
