PRIOR GAME VS. TB: Boston 8 @ Tampa Bay 6 on 9/22/07 DECISION: W: Eric Gagne l L: Al Reyes l S: Jonathan Papelbon STAR OF THE GAME: J.D. Drew: 4 AB, 2 R, 2 H, 3 RBI, 10th HR RED SOX’S PREVIOUS GAME: Boston 8 @ Tampa Bay 6 on 9/22/07

GAME NOTES: 2006-esque comeback for the 2007 Boston Red Sox last night that officially clinched a playoff berth. Folks, we’re going to experience exciting October baseball soon enough, wild card or division. With 7 games remaining on the schedule (8 for New York), this team should be able to go 5-2 and wrap up the division. Finishing with the top record in the league is big (for me, at least, I know Theo might disagree) for home field advantage. BUT FIRST STEP: BEAT TAMPA TODAY. One game at a time. Get it done. WIN. NOW.
