BOSTON (AP) -- The Boston Red Sox and their Fenway faithful waited 86 years to hoist the World Series trophy.
They held it for only one.
There will be no repeat in New England. The Red Sox are out, the first team eliminated from the playoffs this October.
When Edgar Renteria grounded out to end Chicago's 5-3 win Friday that gave the White Sox a sweep, Boston's championship banner was still flying stiffly from the center-field flagpole at Fenway Park -- a reminder of the joy of last season.
``All the magic and all the accolades that we got from last year are, all of a sudden, gone,'' Johnny Damon said.
