Game 7


(Image from Boston.com)

Game 7. The ultimate in playoff baseball.

Everything comes down to this one game. After coming back from a 3-1 hole with an incredible victory in Game 5 to stay alive, and a great win to tie it up last night in Game 6, the Sox and the Rays face off in the only way that does justice to a series of this magnitude. Do or die, winner-take-all, this one's for all the marbles, pick-your-cliché - it's on like the proverbial Donkey Kong. Showdown at the Trop. Lester vs. Garza. Tito vs. Maddon. Shady Acres Retirement Community Phase I vs. RSN.

Game 7. Getting to be a familiar feeling here in Red Sox Nation. Has a nice ring to it.

Game 5 was spectacular. Historical.

I bet the Rays are sweating bullets right now.

Sorry to learn of the "overnight" loss, fella.

You lost this one...may-perhaps-could-be you'll win the other one, eh?

Not into counting eggs in my basket...there's a banyard full of animals underfoot, a dirt road, and an uneven dirt driveway between here in the chicken coop and my grandmother's kitchen and many a stumble between spoon and spilt.

@Doc: There's always another game! No big deal.
