Red Sox Don't Quit

I was privileged to have watch game 5 of the ALCS tonight, with the Red Sox at home against the Tampa Bay Rays. Down 7-0 going into the 7th inning, the fans started to go home. But Big Papi, David Ortiz lifted a three-run homer over the right field fence to make it 7-4. In the eighth inning, J.D. Drew hit a two-run homer to make it 7-6. Coco Crisp then singled in another run to make it all sevens heading into the 9th inning. A scoreless top half of the inning sent the Red Sox one run from forcing game six. With two outs Kevin Youkilis reached on an error, Jason Bay walked, and this put the pressure on J.D. Drew yet again. Drew sent a 3-1 pitch over the right fielder Gabe Gross for the game-winning and improbable hit. What a game! I was absolutely stunned yet excited. This was the second biggest comeback in postseason history. Is there two more games in the Red Sox? I don't know, but we'll find out
