The Red Sox are certainly not out of this after going down 2 games to 1 in the ALCS.  In 1986, 2003, 2004, and 2007, the Red Sox battled back from seemingly vast deficits, dramatically forcing a Game 7 in each instance.  They could certainly do it again in 2008.

However, let’s acknowledge the elephant in the corner.  This 2008 Red Sox team is not nearly as talented as their counterparts from ’86, ’03, ’04, or even last year.

The Rays are simply a better baseball team.
