Could the BoSox actually be this close and blow it? The NY Daily News seems to hope as much with a backpage headline "What Could Go Wrong?" Maybe they should ask Joe Torre for advice? :-)

It will be interesting to see if a Red Sox win will be newsworthy enough to get the front page here in the home of the Yankees. I'm sure that at least the NY Times might give the Sox an 'above the fold' photo.

As I said yesterday the Cardinals are a very good team and I would be very surprised if they didn't come out tonight determined to use the home team advantage, if only for to keep the BoS0x from sweeping. Not that I wouldn't love to see it, of course!
