October 13, 200817 yr Rays lead 4-0 in the 3rd... Varitek has completely ruined this one for the Sox.... Why has Varitek ruined it?
October 13, 200817 yr I'd love the Rays to win it as well, but how interesting would it be for a Dodgers/Sox series. Manny facing Boston pitching. I see brawl written all over it. It'd be fun to watch.
October 13, 200817 yr Author Why has Varitek ruined it? Let's see, he let a routine pitch glance off his glove allowing the runners to move up a base, which led to the 1-0 lead in the second. Then in the bottom of the second with runners at 2nd and 3rd with one out, he proceeds to not lift the bat off his shoulders striking out, instead of just making contact and tying the game. Worst case, the Sox should have been up 1-0 after the 2nd, and instead because of him they were down 1-0. Completely different game if he doesn't screw up.

TB wins this game easily regardless of Varitek.
October 14, 200817 yr Author It's 9-1. TB wins this game easily regardless of Varitek. Maybe they do, maybe not. You have no way of knowing. Fact is it should have been at least 1-0 Sox, but because of Tek it's 1-0 Rays. Tampa may have still won, but to try and say it wouldn't have been a different game is inaccurate.

October 14, 200817 yr The Red Sox sure could use another big bat in the lineup (someone like a Manny Ramirez or something) :thumb:
