On Thursday, Boston Globe sportswriter Dan Shaughnessy declared this Red Sox season "the greatest choke in baseball history." On Wednesday night, however, he had a very different outlook on how the year would play out."The one thing we have eliminated tonight is that the Red Sox season is not going to end," declared Shaughnessy during NESN's broadcast of the rain delay in the final game of the Red Sox season. "They live to play another day." It seemed like a safe assumption at the time that the Tampa Bay Rays would lose and at the very least, the Red Sox would have a chance at a one-game play-in game on Thursday.

Jeff Gordon Says Richmond Will Be A Guessing Game
photo credit: scannerbytes.com Jeff Gordon has won twice at Richmond, but he thinks this weekends Sprint Cup race under the lights will be a guessing game. The race is scheduled to go green around 7:30pm, with sunset roughly 30-minutes later. “It’s tough trying to guess what the track is going to do from day to night,” said Gordon. “The track will change a lot from the start of the race to the end, so we’ll need to keep up with those changes. “Good communication throughout the race is needed to keep up with – or stay ahead of – those changing conditions.” “I love Richmond, and I don’t know of another driver that doesn’t like this track.” “But it is a very
