Since 1999, Sox are 15-3 when facing elimination in the postseason. Pretty exciting team.
1999: won 3 from the Indians (3-1)
2003: won 3 from from A's, 1 from the Yankees (7-2)
2004: won 4 from the Yankees (11-2)
2005: *cough* (11-3)
2007: won 3 from the Indians (14-3)
2008: beat the Devil Rays (15-3)
Let's make it 17-3.
You've got to respect a team that performs well under pressure.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap. That was awesome. The amazing part was that they looked like they had no energy at all. Then they exploded. Ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure about coming all the way back, but it is possible. Beckett will probably go 5-6 innings and give up 4. Can the Sox score off of Shields?
Then Lester v Garza.
Funny enough, the away team has done well in this series. I like Boston's chances back in the dome based on games 1 and 2.
