Whoops, They Did It Again
For the fourth year running, the Oakland A's go down in defeat in game 5 of the ALDS. For the second time in those four years, they have won the first 2 games, only to lose the last 3. This time they were down 4-3 in the 9th with runners on second and third and 1 out. Still couldn't pull off even a tie to bring the game to extra innings. They've got what it takes during the regular season, but they can't seem to hold it together in the post-season. Suckers.
It's a Yankees-Red Sox ALCS. The rivalry will make it more interesting than a Yankees-A's ALCS. And I'm not counting the Yankees out yet. They did finish 6 games up from the Red Sox in the regular season, although their record against the Red Sox was 10-9. Should be a fun series.

Gotta tell ya, if the Cubbies make it through their NLCS I have to root for the Sox, even though I've been a Yankees fan all year. I just really, really want to see a Boston-Chicago Series...

Yes, this Red Sox team could put a severe strain on the Bambino's curse. The Yankees might actually have to outplay the Sox in order to win this series.

the math is simple for the Yanks. they have to win every game Pedro doesn't pitch, and they have to beat Wakefield...they got what 3 hits off Wakefield in game one. Hold off on the series tickets for now.
