5. Sox season ends in ... Tampa?

The AL East became a whooole lot more interesting this year. After beating Anaheim to open the playoffs, the banged-up Sox met the rising Rays, who opened up a 3-1 ALCS advantage. But the Sox put another classic in the books, rallying from the a 7-0 deficit in the final three innings of Game 5 to take an improbable 8-7 win, the largest comeback in an elimination game in team history. They pushed Tampa Bay to seven games, but ultimately fell short in the Trop, as the Rays advanced to the World Series.
