He may be right about losing the ALCS, but that isn't what Sox fans, players, and mgmt want to hear publicly. If I was paying big bucks to go to Fenway I wouldn't want to think that one of the players had already given up in his mind.

As for the home run, it was back to back to back homers right? That is pretty cool, but weren't they still down by four runs? It's like the football players who are always dancing around after making a tackle and they're losing by two touchdowns. Quit showboating and look at the scoreboard.
