Greatest Comeback Ever

The Sox pulled off the "2nd greatest" comeback in the history of the postseason last night. I put that in quotations because I looked at that game, from 79 years ago, and the two can't be compared. The game in question is a Phillies comeback against the hapless Cubs in 1929. The Phillies were down 8 runs going into the bottom of the 7th and scored 10. They ended up winning 10-8. No doubt this is an incredible comeback. But let's talk about context.
The Phillies already owned a 2-1 lead in the series. They weren't facing elimination in the bottom of the 7th, only a tied up series. Neither team had made it to the World Series in over a decade so it wasn't an underdog deal.
Now in the Rays/Sox series, we're looking at an entirely different beast. The Rays are indisputably the hottest team in baseball right now. 38 runs through 5 games including Thursday's game at Fenway, and for the third consecutive game they jumped out to an early 5-0 lead. The Sox have been in a stupor since dropping a slugfest in game 2, having only scored 5 runs in 25 innings up to the 7th last night. And they were facing elimination against one of baseball's best bullpens. Also, scoring 8 runs over three separate innings is often harder than scoring 10 in one. They scored 4 in the 7th, 3 in the 8th, and the final run a walk-off in the bottom of the 9th. Ortiz finally did something, pumping a low fastball deep into the grandstand for a three run homer. Drew hit a 2-run dinger the next inning on a fast ball out over the plate. Coco had the best at bat of the game and poked a run scoring single in the 8th. And of course, Drew delivered again in the 9th with a rocket over Gabe Gross's head in right.
So I consider it the greatest single game comeback in postseason history. Maybe I'd feel different if I'd seen the game in 1929. In fact, I probably would because it would have had time to expand and morph in my mind until it was a 23 run deficit with 2 outs in the 9th and all Phillies had broken legs.
Last night was amazing. A miracle. Inexplicable. Really. When they won I leaped off the carpet and screamed a piercing scream. It made me feel like I did in 2004 against the Yankees. I only hope they can carry this momentum into Tropicana field.
