My Comment: American League East Champions!!! The Boston Red Sox haven't been the division champions since 2007 (and we know what happned that year in October). Not sure I like the slogan "We Own The East" - seems a little over the top. The postseason starts for the Boston Red Sox on Friday 4 October 2013. And oh, the Red Sox won the first game of a three-game series against the Blue Jays tonight in Fenway Park. They'll be going for the series win tomorrow.

Red Sox lowlight: Six men left on base

My Comment: Boston avoids being swept and gains a place in the postseason. Haven't been able to write that Boston is going to the post-seaon since 2009. It's a nice bookend - ended the first season of the blog with a postseason trip and ends the last season of the blog with a postseason trip. Let's hope there's a World Series Championship to celebrate!

My Comment: No series win for the Red Sox, but they do get closer to being the division champions. Outhitting the Orioles just wasn't enough in the extra innnings battle to garner Boston a victory. Hope the Red Sox are able to salvage a win tomorrow - don't want them to be swept.

My Comment: Well Boston might have lost today, but the team is closer to the AL East Championship - only three games away. Koji's streaks ended, but it is better that it happened now instead of in the playoffs. Anyway, he can start more streaks!

Yankees highlight: Five hits

Red Sox lowlight: One pickoff error

My Comment: Boston finally gets another sweep and very nice that it is against the Yankees. However, one retiring Yankee was honored at Fenway Park tonight - Mariano Rivera - for his outstanding career as a closer. And the Red Sox were gracious enough to give him the night off with their decisive victory over the Yankees. Now Boston's magic number is four.
