After 160 games the Sox clinched the AL East for the first time since 1995! After an impressive 8 innings by Dice-K and some fantastic clutch hitting by the whole team, the Sox had won 5-2. Now they just had to wait to see if the Yanks would lose the O's. It was not looking good as the Yanks were up 9-6 with 2 outs in the 9th. But the O's would rally to tie in the 9th and win it on a bunt in the 10th! You can only imagine how crazy I went...quietly though, Grace was sleeping! After the Yanks loss, the team ran on to the field to celebrate with the thousands of fans that stuck around in the stands to see if the Sox would clinch. Only in Boston! It has been an up and down year for the Sox. They spent from April 18th on in first and had a 12 game lead at one point and it got widdle down to 1 just few days ago. Celebrate and then get back to business. As many Sox players fans said last night...11 more wins to go.
