congrats to the 2008 ALCS champions: Tampa Bay
yes, i’d rather see my red sox in the world series, but you earned it. that was a damn fine game last night, my personal feelings on the outcome notwithstanding. now, go forth and beat the holy hell out of the phillies.
addendum: reading the post-game quotes from the sox:
“We played as hard as we could, we just kind of ran out of magic,” said second baseman Dustin Pedroia [stats] in a tear-free clubhouse. “I’m very proud of everyone, we played hard all year long.“We battled with (the Rays) all season long - they ended up beating us. They outplayed us. In October, the best team always wins. They move on. Good luck to them, they will represent the American League well.”
make me think even less of the angels, who whined about how they lost to a team they were better than. way to show sportsmanship, LA! anyway, again, go Rays, kick some Philly ass.
