1. I'm so glad this series is over
The D-Rays are such a tough team to put away. The games are usually tough even if the Sox win most of them. On to the Yanks!

2. Clutch hitters are a myth

David Ortiz is good in the "clutch" because he's good, period.

4. "Clutch"? I don't think so.
Don't get me wrong....Ortiz is a hell of a hitter and has delivered some absolutely key hits in the past half decade.

But I'm old school....a true "clutch" hitter is a guy who slogs it out in the field all game, then delivers the key hit when his team needs it.

think Musial
think Mantle
think Dave Henderson in '86
hell, think Reggie Jackson, though he sucked in the OF
