The Kings of Come Back

Photobucket

Last night's comeback in game 5 of the ALCS was one for the ages. Just when i thought it was over, the Red Sox finally showed up. I would like to thank Chad and Pablo for keeping my hopes up and also shorty for the " I just got out of work what's the score" call. It was the fifth inning when he called, he knew the damn score. Last night's game wasn't filled with much excitement until the 7th inning. Up until then the Rays already had homered 3 times inlcuding ones from Bj Upton and Evan Longoria. I guess the 7th inning stretch really helped out the sox because their bats finally came alive. Justin Pedroia had an RBI single only to be followed by a 3-run shot by Big Papi..... Then in the 8th, JD drew hit a two run home run and Coco Crisp had a long battle at the plate, that he would win by hitting in the game tying run. Finally the 9th, Evan Longoria would field a ground ball by Youkilis and throw the easy out down the first base line, in to the stands (he is human). Youk would move to second and the Rays would intentionally walk Jay Bay. That would bring up JD Drew, who would ultimatley hit the game winning RBI single. It was one of the best baseball games i have ever seen. My faith is restored..... Sox in 7......
