Red Sox Stun Rays And Boston Crowd

The Boston Red Sox fans thought they were going to go home unhappy, but that was not the case last night. After falling behind 7-0 the Red Sox made a rally for the ages and got a 8-7 win and sent the series back to Tampa Bay. Dice-K who has been very reliable this season got shelled for the Red Sox and the bullpen was needed and they did a very good job this time out. J.D. Drew singled in the go ahead run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to give the Red Sox the win.

For the Tampa Bay Rays it was a very hard loss to take and they will just have to move on and go from here. It is never easy to lose a game they should have won. The bullpen failed them when needed and that will happen especially when you play defending champions as they never want to go down without a fight.

Manny And Red Sox Going Back And Forth

It seems that Manny and the Boston Red Sox are starting their battle early as far as his 20 million dollar option. Manny tells the newspapers that he wants a meeting to see where he stands while management tells the press he will get his meeting soon enough.

If I was Manny I would just settle down and wait this thing out. The Red Sox are really the only club that will pay Manny 20 million dollars so he should just settle down and he should get his money. If he pushes the issue he may never see his money.
