Poor Boston, just can't get a break

This has to hurt to lose a game you had 7-0 with 2 out that ends up 8-7 without extra innings.

This one has to leave a mark....

You could see the noose getting tight from the 7th inning on. I am not gonna say the Rays cannot win this thing still, because they sure can. But, like you said, this leaves a mark, and it's in the back of their heads. This is what makes baseball great!

I'd agree with the notion that this loss is going to hang over the heads of the Rays if they were a bunch of veterans whose window of opportunity was closing. These guys, however, are young and don't seem to give a crap about the last pitch, let alone the last game. If the Red Sox win the next two games, it'll be because they play better, not because the Rays are "devastated," IMO.

I agree with this 100% (am I cool again?)
