My Comments: With the identical number of runs, hits and errors as in yesterday's loss, today the Boston Red Sox win the game and tie the serris at two games apiece. The team came through and got the must win. There will be a sixth game at Fenway. Let's hope it is for all the marbles!

My Comment: One down and three to go! Looking for another sweep of the Cardinals in this World Series. Glad the Red Sos offense was great in combination with the poor defense of the Cardinals. Opposing teams have had an unusually hard time in Fenway Park in the postseason. Whatever helps Boston to another championship works for me!

My Comment: Thank you Rays for not knowing how to play Fenway Park's outfield. Tampa Bays's defense and Boston's offense combined to provide a first game win for the Red Sox. Let's hope such cooperation continues in the series, resulting in a sweep of Tampa Bay by Boston. Looking forward to it!

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.

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: 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.
