BoSox

As I sit here and seethe over The-Game-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named, I want to write about something sports, just not what just happened to our beloved Cougs.

What do we think? Are the Red Sox of recent history the greatest postseason comeback sports team we know? I know they have a long ways to go to win this series, but let's look at things since 2004:

2004 ALCS - Come back from the "impossible" 3-0 to the Yanks and go on to win the World Series.
2007 ALCS - Come back from 3-1 to the Indians to go on and win the World Series.
2008 ALCS - Pull off the second largest postseason deficit in MLB history (7-0 in the 7th) to win the game.

Based on how the Rays are playing, I doubt the Sox will advance, but still...

Unrelated question: Why does Kevin Youkilis grip the bat the way he does?

all i know is Maddon is retarded to pitch to Big Papi, when there were 2 on and 2 outs, and a 6 run lead. Sure enough Papi made them pay. And I think the Sox will win the pennant.

I am sure for the same reason Craigery Counsell does... mostly how gay it is...
