Look like the Dodgers have collapsed.

This seems to happen a lot. Barely win an emotional game that the team needed to win, then lose the next one in a tough way. The next game is basically mailed it. The Red Sox (ok, red sux to Yankees fans) are up 5-1 in Game 5 with all the momentum appearing to be with the Red Sox (back, to back, to back home runs over 4 innings), game now in the 7th with the Red Sox having some horses that they can bring out of the bullpen to close it out.

But point taken. I remember a game between the Phillies and the Blue Jays in the WS. The Phillies were killing the Blue Jays and brought in their ace reliever (Mitch The Wild Thing Something or Other), he gave up plenty of run and the Blue Jays ended up winning the game something like 17-16, after that the Phillies basically fell apart and the Blue Jays won in 5 or 6 games. Of course any remote baseball fan remember the legendary 2004 ALCS. comeback by the Red Sox, one out from being swept, only to win that one out game and the next three.

I honestly thought that the Astros were unbeatable by any team in the playoffs.

Though I thought they would put up more of a fight. The Red Sox are one of the most dominant teams I’ve seen. In the regular season they toyed with my Bravos.

11-3 against three very good teams, one that set the record for team home runs. The revival of David Price, who went from post season goat to post season ace. Run contributions from utility players. A championship by a team that a year ago looked broken. A manager that was a bench coach for last year's champion and the manager of this year's champion.
