That Was Magic


Yes, I am that guy who turned off his TV in the middle of the 7th inning because the Rays were up 7-0. It was also a school night, and we were having our first full day since Tuesday. I also had a little bit of homework to finish up, and wanted to catch up on some lost sleep. And it was nice to get that extra hour of sleep in. But boy did I make a mistake. I ended up missing the improbable comeback by a Red Sox team that ended up being the best game of the year. The thing is though, I knew the Red Sox weren't 100% dead. I knew that they were probably the only team in the majors, that if put in that situation, could make it out alive. And they did. But I just wasn't expexcting it. Now here's the thing. Alot of people are saying that Rays are still going to win the series. They say that Beckett is injured, which is true, and that he is just no where near the same Beckett we've seen so many times before in the postseason, dating back to his days as World Series MVP with the Marlins in 2003, as well as last year's epic performances. But I'm saying something completely different. I'm telling you that the magic has already begun, so there is no stopping it now. Despite Tampa being next to amazing at home, the Red Sox will win this game. Josh Beckett will show up and be better than everyone thinks, throwing Boston into a game seven. When the Red Sox magoc starts, there's no stopping it. I came on here to type this up because I am that confident that it will happen, that I felt I needed to get it down so everyone can see how amazing I really am.
