The rally call from 2004 is all that can save us now.
Given 12 hours to digest the Red Sox gut-wrenching loss to a nothing better than mediocre Chicago team, I have renewed faith.
Sure, lightning just doesn't strike in the same place twice, but then again, teams don't come back from 0-3 deficits against the Bronx Bombers in a Championship series right? WRONG.
The Red Sox have been in this situation twice in the past 6 years and both time prevailed. Once against Cleveland in 1999 and against the A's in 2003. 0-2 in both scenarios and 3 straight wins in both scenarios. Not to mention that both those teams were arguably better than the current White Sox.
One more factor, the Red Sox don't lose at home. Period. The Fenway Faithful will show up and make a noticeable difference. Don't boo Graffanino, mark my words, he will be this years Mark Belhorn. Hes only a Pesky Pole shot away from redeeming himself.
Wake has been our best pitcher all year and if I remember correctly it was Millar and Damon last year down 0-3 commenting..."If we win today, we've got Schilling tommorow and game 7 we've got everyone going"
Well, it'll be game 5, and it will be everyone.
So man up, cowboy up, believe, keep the faith and goddamnit win a ball game.
Cause the truth is...with the Red Sox you never know when you're going to get a moment like this....
