Sure looks that way, Jason!
NEW YORK — One week ago, Yankee Stadium fans were chanting, “We Want Boston!’’ while the Yanks were beating the Oakland A’s in the one-game wild-card playoff.You know, the one Shank called a 'fluke'.
They got Boston.
With both barrels.
And full fury.
The relentless Sox beat the Yankees, 4-3, on Tuesday, winning their American League Division Series, 3-1. The Sox advance to the ALCS. They’ll have ace Chris Sale on the mound Saturday at Fenway for Game 1 against the world champion Houston Astros.
After finishing first in three straight seasons, the 108-win Red Sox won the franchise’s first playoff series since that championship season of 2013.
Let's skip to the fun part:
“A lot of people gave up on us after losing Game 2,’’ said Cora. “We showed up last night and tonight had our plan mapped out. At the end, he wasn’t the usual Craig Kimbrel, but he got three outs.’’Just a guess - think he had at least one Globe sports columnist in mind with that remark?

Oh Cora did. He sure did
The biggest concern at this point should be Kimbrel. There's something wrong with him, mentally and/or mechanically.
