Are You Kidding Me? or, Game 7 Tomorrow!

Lifeless! Hopeless! With No Direction Home! A Complete Unknown! How Does It Fe...sorry, channeled Dylan there for a moment.

Anyway, the Sox had no pulse on Tuesday night. Down 3-1. Not competitive. No pitching. No hitting. Bad managerial moves. Time to pack it in for the season.

Then the Thursday miracle. Now a strong performance by a still-ailing Josh Beckett, and awesome work by the bullpen, with timely hitting, including Tek's first hit of the series, a home run in the sixth that was the game-winning run.

Now, one game, tomorrow night, winner take all for the World Series!

Four times in the American League Championship series have teams been down either 3-0 or 3-1 and come back to win. Three of those teams who came back were Boston Red Sox teams.

They used to talk about Yankee ghosts and mystique.

Jon Lester v. Matt Garza for all the marbles.

I believe in Lester.

And Red Sox magic!

You shoulda beat us Thursday night!
