In all seriousness, the Rays deserve to sweat it out now. I now hope there's a game 7 and it goes down to the wire. Any team that pisses a 7-0 lead in the ALCS should be checked for a heartbeat. Bahston is flying high now, and rightfully so. I'm looking forward to game 6 (and 7).
While I really want the Rays to win for my friends Bigs and 31lengths, I REALLY want to see a game 7 now so Rudeboyelvis understands the mighty power of the mush. Last night was just the start. Rays might get moved out of Tampa when this mush is over.

You call this the best of the AL? A team blows a 7 run lead with 7 outs to go, and they are supposedly the best of the AL?

It's funny because I read an article in the NY post last week that was trying to say that based on who was left in the postseason that this could have been the Yankees year. It made no sense.

I think they were kind of basing it on the fact that the Yankees beat up on the Sox and Rays toward the end of the season. The Yankees were basically playing pawtucket when they came to Boston at the end.

Im a yankee fan but i must admit that sometimes the fan base can get pretty ridiculous.

Sox, angels and Rays were the best teams in the AL this year. I think the Rays were the best of those three.

The yankees were beat up all year but either way i dont think they win it. This was a team in transition and i said at midseason on here that making the playoffs would be gravy. I think the Yanks had a great season all things considered and i think Girardi did a nice job.

He sure did. They will be back. They just need to get their pitching back.

Yankees will definitely be back, probably next season. They are behind the curve on the young players, which is the developing trend in the AL East. Obviously, the Rays have everyone whipped on that front, but the Sox have stockpiled a lot of young talent.

I see this '08 season for the Yankees a lot like 2006 was for Boston. They had to fall back a little before they could move forward. They'll be back soon.

They played a total of 51 games against Oakland, Seattle and Texas.
This will result in better offense, better starting pitching, Better Relief.

And a better road record also?
Anaheim had 30-16 record against the AL East (8-1 against Boston before the playoffs) TB was 43-29.

What Fpsoxfan said. Although, I have to agree the angels have better relievers.

That is a good question about the WS. I have to think about that.
