The final score was 4-2. The outcome was never truly assured until that last out was caught (a fast line drive, fortunately at Kevin Youkilis).
Just as the last two times we won the pennant, we were down with our backs against the wall early in the series.
And now the series is all tied up.
Beckett was not dominating, but he was quite good. And, as it turns out, good enough.
Papelbon looked like the utter dominator he was last year.
And Varitek hit a home run.
Ain't nothin' assured, tho: the Rays are sending Matt Garza up against us tomorrow, and he made mince-meat of us last time.
The Rays' fans are being treated to a real American League pennant experience.
