For those of you like me who stayed up and watched the game last night, you saw a great game. A game in which the Sox trailed and fought back, only to lose on a walk-off home run in the 11th inning. I give the team credit. They could have easily packed it in for the game after a long night of travel. But typical of this 2007 Sox team, they battled to the bitter end.
