Wasn't Boston the team coming into the season where everyone not only had them going into the playoffs but winning the world series...........Oops

MLB Network did an amazing job of juggling all the games and just perfect timing on the walk off HR right after boston lost.

Absolutely amazing end to the season.

And even though the Yanks are halfway limping into the playoffs, I'm not worried at all.

You could say that about any of the top teams, though. If the Giants were healthy they would be in the playoffs right now.

Damn, 45 out of 45 picked the Red Sox to win the AL East. 42 of them picked them to win the AL pennant. 33 of them had the Red Sox winning the World Series.

That was the best single night of baseball that I have ever witnessed.

Of course being a Rays fan helps.....lol
