Red Sox Rays

I am in awe about how the Red Sox have tied the ALCS series, after being down 3-1. I am a die hard Yankee fan but can't seem to feel a little jealous about these recent happenings. Not only did my team miss the playoffs altogether, but the Red Sox, after losing Manny Ramirez, are still being the powerhouses of the past few years. They didn't even make out on the deal in the long run. They got Jason Bay but he is no Manny. It's sad that the Yanks pick up a few key role players, such as Xavier Nady and Pudge Rodriguez, and still miss the playoffs. What we need to do is pick up C.C. Sabathia in the offseason and get rid of some of our older players. The reason why the Rays are so good this year is that they allowed their young players a chance to grow into their own and are it is paying dividends now. But back to the ALCS. If the Red Sox do pull this off, as much as I hate to say it, it will be something for the records, and be a very memorable day in sporst history.
