talking about the fact that the only reason we made it as far as we have is that we're mentally tough. extremely mentally tough.
and that I can't see the Sox being as scrappy as we are.

I don't know - giving up a 15 game lead in the last month of the season and then dominating the last couple weeks and the playoffs to silence all critics shows some mental "toughness" as well.
BTW - I think mental toughness is overrated and shouldn't change betting lines... I made a crapload of money because the line was against oswalt last night. I assume this was because of the public bias on "momentum" that st. louis had because of the pujols homerun and the comeback last year. "momentum" my a**...

You only *think* you are making money due to public bias on momentum. The line for Game 6 was identical to the same pitching matchup in Game 2.
