Remember when the Boston Red Sox lost on opening day? You know, when they fell 6-4 to the Tampa Bay Rays after leading 4-0 in the eighth?
Yeah, well, the Red Sox remember it too. Specifically, they remember how fans overreacted to a loss in Game 1 of 162.
Following their World Series triumph Sunday night in Los Angeles, the Red Sox went back and finally replied to all the haters. The results were, in a word, excellent.

Boston silenced a ton of haters with its dominance of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Fall Classic. So, have New Englanders finally learned to not get carried away after one game?
