Depends on how you gauge things.

The Rays were the best team tonight and deserve to go to the World Series, but Boston still put on a great show and are a GREAT team.

Boston still Rocks!

Best for this year, but the Rays are simply another flash-in-the pan teams. As the terminator once said and I say about the Red Soxs, “we will be back”. Boston will be back come next year :)

“Boston: EPIC FAIL”

You must be joking. The Red Sox played magnificently, and almost pulled off another historic comeback.

I say that as a Yankee fan.

The people of New York are paying for electing Hillary in 2000. The Yankees have not been champs since.

75 World Series Cincinnati v Boston still the best I’ve ever seen. The players that are in the HOF and those who should be is a long list, I think 5 or 6 games were decided by a run.

I’m glad the Red Sox came back from 3-0 down to beat the Yankees in 04, they almost pulled off another 3-1 down to victory, but I’m glad the Rays won. Boston has won 3 Super Bowls, NBA title, and 2 World Series. Let Tampa win something.

“I say that as a Yankee fan.”

There goes your carefully crafted image! :)

“You must be joking.”

I guess a little. Called exaggeration.

Congrats to Rays fans. This has been a magical season for you guys.

And to my Red Sox - time to re-tool and resume the search for Whitey.

Boston should be credited with being able to extend this penant race to at least 7 games. Boston will always rock because they are forever legendary! :)

Congrats to the Rays for not quiting on themselves.

To my beloved Red Soxs, time to rest and retool for a better season next year ahead.

Thanks. All I can say is this reminds me of the Bucs’ history of losing and then turning it around. I went to baseball camp on that field when they switched to grass-like turf bk in 2000.

Do the results of steroidal game-players games really merit “Breaking News”?

Depends. Do people post results of steroidal football player games in breaking news?

Obama might not have 100,000 to see that one tomorrow. There's lots of celebrating going on. I'd forgotten all about the one.

The RAYS are the ones, not him!
