not so bad 2 days out

i agree with the globe editorial; it isn't as painful as '03 or even '06. we went deep into the playoffs with beckett, lowell, and ortiz all hurt. we went to game 7 of the alcs. we won an incredible game 5. i have no doubt we would've crushed the phillies, and it still stings a bit though.

listened to bits and pieces of game 7 on the radio driving back from the hudson valley, with reception spotty in parts. watched the end from professor thom's and the 8th was the best shot we had. when drew struck out, i knew it was over. i don't blame francona for game 7; garza was unhittable and lester was worn out from the season. this team showed fight, but the rays outplayed us.
