For the last few day the Red Sox looked like a mirror image of the Dodgers. Dying and quickly being pushed out of post season play. A finally, a kid from Woodland, Ca battles his way to a two out RBI single and the Red Sox wake up. Ortiz temporarly breaks out of his slump at the right moment and breathes life back into Red Sox nation. JD Drew has found a home in Boston and calmly belted one over the right field fence to get the Sox back to within one run. Drew looked very comfortable at the plate while working Howell to a 3-1 count. You knew he was going to hit the ball hard somewhere. And he did and Boston will go back to Tampa.

Fenway Park - It's great. Old. Green. The scoreboard. The Monster. Looks cool on TV. But look at the people. The city. Boston. It's white, very white. It's America as it was sixty years ago. And it's not just white, it's wanna-be-tough-guy white, annoying Boston accent white, stuffy New England money white. When's the last time you've seen a Boston hat with a straight bill? Culture mix? Not here. The only Spanish conversation you'll here at Fenway is in the dugout betwen Manny and Papi.
