162

It shouldn't have come to this. If anything this game should have been to determine if the Sox would win 100 games or not. But this whole 7-19 September can be easily forgotten with a win tomorrow. Should the Rays win, it'll take 163. Win 'em both, we can just pretend the entire month of September never happened, much like Rocky V, the WNBA, or Soulja Boy Tell'em's entire career. Lose tomorrow, and quite frankly the Red Sox don't deserve to be in the post-season, even if the Rays lose and it comes to 163. Lester's our supposed ace. I picked him to win the Cy Young this year. Clearly that won't happen, but it's safe to say it's the biggest game he's pitched since Game 4 of the 2007 World Series.

Sometimes you just gotta believe.
