Lots of talk in Beantown about the Red Sox and reminding us that this is the 40th anniversary of the "miracle" season of 1967, where the Sox came back from the hands of defeat to make it to the World Series. Great story. But the punch line? THEY LOST.
So, as the '07 crew heads for the playoffs against the Anaheim Angels (6:30p Eastern Wednesday at Fenway), let's hope for the real thing. Manny is back in the line-up; the over-hyped (and overpaid) JD Drew is finally hitting; and Dice-K seems to be holding his own, but I'm still concerned that this isn't the same team that had a commanding lead in June and July. Shit. I shouldnt' have said that. Now it's over for certain.
Really, though, isn't all that we want a Red Sox-Yankees League Championship Series?

No, it's not what we want, Scott. We want a smooth sail to the World Series. The Red Sox have already had their defining Yankees moment in '04...nothing will top coming back from 3 games down to win the Pennant in 7. We just want another World Series. But I do agree that this *hushed tones* is not the team of June/July...but it could be the team that gets it done.
Scott, this is driving me nuts. i posted two comments now...and I can't see them? Meanwhile, as a Yankee fan, I can't comment on today's blog. (although i have to say, the selfdepricating nature of redsox fans is actually pretty fun to witness:-)
