Even when they were ahead 1-0 last night, it simply didn’t seem like the Red Sox had what it was going to take to win game 7 of the ALCS.  The mojo wasn’t there.  Lester pitched well enough to win, but Boston’s offense simply could not get it together.   They created a few–too few–opportunities, but ended a lot of at-bats with checked swings called as third strikes.

I wish the Rays good luck and predict they will beat the Phillies in 5 games.
