Well Jeff, maybe the Red Sox will be in Philadelphia next week...

Red Sox 8, Rays 7
Down by 7-0, Red Sox Force a Game 6
By JACK CURRY

BOSTON — With each invigorating inning, the outlook grew more sublime for the Tampa Bay Rays. They are young, fearless and resilient, and they were about to bury the Boston Red Sox. Seven outs were all the Rays needed to reach their first World Series and end Boston’s season. Seven outs.

But the Rays could not get those unlucky seven outs. The Red Sox stunned the Rays by rebounding from a seven-run deficit in the seventh to win, 8-7, in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series. Seemingly dead, the Red Sox unfurled a miraculous rally in the last three innings and now trail three games to two in the best-of-seven series. It is still a vibrant series, a series in which the Red Sox have snatched the momentum.

J.D. Drew scorched a ball over the head of right fielder Gabe Gross for a two-out single that scored Kevin Youkilis from second base with the decisive run in the ninth. Youkilis reached on an infield single and went to second after third baseman Evan Longoria bounced a throw past first.

Some fans booed David Ortiz and some left Fenway Park early on Thursday night, but the Red Sox scored four runs in the seventh, three in the eighth and one in the ninth to put on a special show. The Red Sox fashioned the second greatest comeback in postseason history; only the 1929 Philadelphia A’s, who rallied from an 8-0 deficit to beat the Chicago Cubs, climbed a higher October mountain.

“Because of the situation we’re in, that was pretty magical,” Red Sox Manager Terry Francona said.

According to our local news this morning, the first game will be in Boston on Wednesday. ...  ::)

Don't it just figger? The Phillies are in the Series for the first time in 15 years, and games 3, 4, and 5 will be in Philadelphia next weekend--while I'm on the Cape!  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:

46 degrees here this morning. According to the radio, we are at peak foliage right now and they expect it to last another week. Very little leaf drop so far.

A boneless blue morning down here. Clear sky, moon hadn't quite set as I came into work, clean air, temperatures in the mid-fifties. Why I like October.  :D

I think we have not had enough rain here for the end of summer and beginning of fall, although the local TV weatherheads haven't been complaining. Still, I'm noticing that some trees that usually turn fairly pretty colors are this year just turning brown and dry and dropping their leaves.  :(
