In yesterday’s press conference Joe Maddon made some comments that showed the shock of game 5 has not worn off:
“Everyone’s glomming onto the fact that we lost that game (Thursday) night and how we did, which we shouldn’t have,” manager Joe Maddon said Friday during some bleary-eyed media availability. “It should not have happened that way. But we still won two out of three and maintained homecourt advantage.
“It’s working out in a sense the way we had planned it. Now we just have to go out and execute it.”
Homecourt advantage???? Last time I checked the game is played on a field, even in that dump called the Trop. So the Rays planned to lose game 5, earlier he said he was playing Kazmir because he is better at Fenway, which is it?
