I would honestly be floored if this was the first you were hearing this, but on the off chance you didn’t know, the Red Sox are going to the ALDS thanks to a 6-2 win over the Yankees in Tuesday’s Wildcard Game. As I typically do after a postseason game, I had some scattered thoughts on the big night at Fenway.
- And that’s exactly where we need to start here. I was not at the park on Tuesday, but you didn’t have to be to feel the electricity. Between just how big of a game this was — and it really doesn’t get much bigger than a winner-take-all game against the Yankees as underdogs — and the fact that we just spent a year without being able to do that kind of thing, the crowd was not going to stop all night.
