Last night saw the first game in the Dominican winter baseball league and the perennial favorites Tigres del Licey lost to eternal underdogs Leones del Escogido, 7-2. The Aguilas Cibaenas beat the Gigantes 3-2 and the Azucarerors beat the Estrellas 6-5.
In other baseball news, tonight sees the fifth game of the AL Championship Series, and the once heavily favored Boston Red Sox are on the verge of elimination. The Sox lost on Tuesday night, 7-3, and are down in the series 3-1. Adding to Red Sox Nation's concerns are comments by Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez who said that if the Red Sox don't win "it's not the end of the world, there is always next year."
