Well, that was the first game this October that I’ve really been stressed over. Exciting stuff, but man, my heart was going a mile a minute.

  • A trial by fire. That’s what this Rays series has been to the Red Sox, and even though tougher opponents await, the tensest moments have already gone by. (For Red Sox fans, the worst is past)
  • He’s not a flamethrowing left-hander, but Craig Breslow doesn’t need to be when he’s sitting down the best opposing hitters in order. He’s solid reliable, and damn good. (Craig Breslow leads way)

Things like this just happen, right?
