Patch's Poll: Will The Sox Win Tonight?

Can Their Best Pitcher Beat One Of The Worst Teams In The League With All The Money On The Line?

At the beginning of this month, the Boston Red Sox had a nine-game lead over the Tampa Bay Rays. In a century-plus of baseball, no team had that large of a lead in September and didn’t make the playoffs.

Well, as you know, that lead has now shrunk to zero. Tonight, the last game of the season, Tampa plays a Yankees team that promises to play their back-ups to their back-ups to their back-ups. So, all the pressure is on Sox ace lefty Jon Lester to beat the now-mighty Baltimore Orioles to keep their season alive.

The question is, will they do it?
