This is the first yr ever that i have been unable to watch the american league playoffs on local tv.I guess greedy TBS bought the rights or something.I only have antenna tv.Anyways...the rays had the series in the bag but they blew it.The momentum has shifted & the red sox most likely will prevail tomorrow.I would like to HEAR that the tampa bay rays won tomorrow nite but idk.I dont care for the red sox & ill just hope for the best.Red sox fans are just like the yankee fans...ugh!

At least Red Sox fans are fans. Tampa Bays has a bunch of cow bell wielding folks that showed up in the playoffs. And, there were some open seats right behind the plate. Where were these "fans?" I guarantee the Trop is empty next May...regardless of how the Rays do this year...

Tampa Bay played great, however, Boston, when October comes, they play
magic, or whatever! I do like Tampa, but wish the Red Sox to go on to win it all! Why, game 5 said it all! They have done this time after time!

I tend to believe that momentum lasts until the start of the next game. These guys are professionals, and can shake off disappointment and move on. As a longtime Sox fan, I have the expectation of the worst too deeply ingrained inside me to be able to lose it completely because of a couple of recent championships. Before you start thinking this one is over, keep in mind that winning this series would mean that the Sox would have to win three out of four at Tropicana. Based on this season's record, that seems like a tall order. We shall see.

Agreed, being a Sox fan myself I have learned not too expect a win (the way Yankee fans do). Hope the complete the comeback tomorrow and go on to the series
