A lot of people are comparing it to Boston's Game 4 win over the New York Yankees in the 2004 ALCS, but I don't see it. That wasn't a crushing loss for the Yankees. It was bad, but not rip-your-heart-out bad like this one was. I compare it more to the way the Yankees won Game 4 of the 1996 World Series against the Atlanta Braves. |

The Red Sox are no strangers to ALCS comebacks, as they improved to 8-1 in elimination games under manager Terry Francona -- 8-0 in ALCS elimination games -- thanks to the historic rally from down 3-0 to the New York Yankees in 2004, and last year's comeback from down 3-1 to the Cleveland Indians. "I can't say the game was exciting because the first six innings we did nothing. They had their way with us every way possible," Francona said. "And then this place came unglu |

Although Tampa Bay holds a commanding lead, winning three straight in the ALCS wouldn't be unprecedented for the Red Sox. They overcame a 3-0 deficit to beat the New York Yankees in 2004, and last year rallied from down 3-1 to top Cleveland, on the way to a second World Series title in four years. "I hope it's relevant," said Francona. "I think every year is different." If the Red Sox are to get back in the series, they'll h |
