I wouldn't be too optimistic about Boston for the rest of series. The Rays may have chased Dice-K off the mound, but most people felt coming into the game that Boston would win this one and the Rays would finish them off at home. Still a great comeback, but Tampa still looks way too strong to lose the next two games. Besides, Tampa obviously lost the game on purpose so they could finish off the series in front of their home crowd (no teams ever do this, of course, but it's one of my favourite examples of fan logic).
On the topic of sports cities, Tampa has been spoiled. The Bucs winning the Superbowl in '02, the Lighting the Stanley Cup in '04, and now the Rays have a very real shot at the World Series. If the Rays pull through, every single one of their pro sports franchises will have won a championship in a short span of time. It's just not fair.
