As with the rest of the articles in this series, I started out intending to list the Top Ten games of the last decade; but then realized I would have to leave too many great games off the list if I limited it to just ten games.
So, as a result, I hereby present you with my Topá20 Sox games of the lastá10 years.
Part I of the list contains Games 11-20: ...

That being said, I have invested numerous amounts of ...

Hey, Eagles fans: You thought you were just playing the Dallas Cowboys for the NFC East title and a first-round bye in the 2010 NFL playoffs.
Wrong, Yo!
