stuck on 4 down ... 7 to go

first team to win 11 games wins the world series

columbus day ... early starting game ... had to work ... so i didn't get to see much of the game ... but what i know is this ... josh beckett and jon lester haven't preformed as we had hoped in this series ... lester's breakdown today was his first loss at fenway since early april ... the offense is aleep ... ellsbury (.000), ortiz (.000) and varitek (.000) have struggled mightily ... so the bottom line is ... if the red sox don't find a spark soon ... this series will be over in 5 games ... and the talented kids if tampa bay will become the biggest story in baseball since the red sox ended an 86 year drought by winning the 2004 world series

game 3 <> american league championship series (alcs)
tampa bay rays 9 .. boston red sox 1
winning pitcher <> matt garza (1-0) ... losing pitcher <> jon lester (0-1)

there are no stars in a losing effort
