game 7 of a best 4 of 7 game postseason series ... a year ago at this time it was the red sox vs cleveland indians ... last spring it was the los angeles lakers vs boston celtics ... cleveland cavaliers vs boston celtics ... and atlanta hawks vs boston celtics ... this time it's the boston red sox vs tampa bay rays ... jon lester vs matt garza ... dustin pedroia and kevin youkilis vs bj upton and evan longoria ... david ortiz vs northeastern's own carlos pena ... tropicana field ... the "catwalk dome" ... sunday night in mid october ... 8:07 pm first pitch ... winners welcome the philadelphia phillies to game 1 of the 2008 world series ... losers get to pass out candy on halloween night ... it just doesn't get any better than this ... the ultimate high for lovers of the game ... the competition ... the sportevery time the rays take the field it seems like something is happening for the first time in tampa bay franchise history ... going all the way back to late august when the rays won their 82nd game ... guaranteeing their first ever season with a winning record ... tonite tampa bay will play their first ever 7th game of a postseason series ... for the boston red sox ... it's more like "been there, seen that, done that, won that"
