OK, now we’ve got ourselves some series.
Both the ALCS and NLCS underwent dramatic momentum shifts in a pair of classic games yesterday. The Braves and the Red Sox — each of whom led in the eighth inning, and were a mere few outs away from taking a commanding lead in the series — each found themselves on the wrong end of a stunning, come-from-behind victory by the opposition that turned the series on its head.
The Braves held a seemingly comfortable three-run lead with one out in the eighth, poised to win their third straight game and put themselves in position to sweep today.
