8 home runs. Papi gets his 2000th hit. 20-4 against Detroit.

I am really enjoying the ride this season.  I picked the team to earn the second Wild Card but considering all the major pitching injuries this is a definite surprise for me.  Ten games the next eleven days (seven with NYY, winning the first, sandwiched around three @TB).  A 7-3 record through that stretch could all but put the division away.  I still think there are several teams in the NL that are superior to the AL teams but I am starting to get excited about the pennant chances.

It's been fun cheering for a team that doesn't seem to know the word "quit".

Wow has it, especially after two years of teams that seemed to only know that word.

 

That last two nights have been more fun that the 20-4.  Wow.  Watching the Rays now, down 4-3, chance to extend farther.

 

Next eight we see two @NYY, three @TB, and three v. NYY.  Could all but put this thing away with a nice little 6-2 here.

Carp with the pinch hit grand slam! Number 9, number 9....

That was awesome, I hate the Rays, hope someone catches them.

They certainly fit the bill as well.  My wallet will be very happy when they clinch.

It is official, the AL East is ours.

With the As loss today, the Red Sox get home field throughout the playoffs and will face the Indians, Rays or Rangers next Friday night at Fenway. Best record in the AL!

So it is Tampa.  I must admit, I am not excited about that.
