I'm so pumped...but in a subdued way. I don't know why.
The 2007 playoffs have been so different than 2004. Well - both years featured the utter destruction of the Angels....but the ALCS had a totally different vibe. The desperation just wasn't there. The 86 years of pressure was gone. There were no Yankee ghosts to excise. This year it was all about baseball. Two great teams playing great baseball. So even when the Sox were down 3 games to 1 there wasn't any panic. There was just the steadfast belief that given time, the hits would start falling in (and out of the park), the law of averages would even out and the Red Sox - the same team with the best record in baseball this year - would put it all together.
And so they did.
And now its onto the World Series.
7 down. 4 to go.
