Hmmm....what's that saying about history and repeating?
Late September, 1978: the Boston Red Sox blow a 14.5 game lead over the Yankees and proceed to lose a one game playoff for the division on October 2nd.
Late September, 2007: the Boston Red Sox are about to blow another double digit lead over the Yankees and it might not even get to a one game playoff as long as the Sox keep putting in Eric "Gasoline Fire" Gagne. He's more flammable than Richard Pryor with a fifth of cognac and a freebase pipe.
Oh, this is going to be a very interesting week, indeed. If the Sox revert to their natural ways and choke like Tennessee Williams on an aspirin bottle cap, then this is going to be the last comforting image for Sox fans for a long, long time:
