You missed one hell of a game, Rip.

Did you get hit by the storm, the other night, in Conn. ?

I'm actually on the West Coast at the moment.

Incidentally, did anyone record game 7 on DVD? I'd be willing to pay $50 for that (can play it on my laptop). Email me if you can help. I would really love to see the whole game, even though I know how it turned out.

Incidentally, I forgot to mention that on the game 6 live thread I said I expected Mariano Rivera to go 3 innings if necessary. I'm telling you, I've never been so accurate in my life. But to be fair, as I was preparing my dinner prior to game 7, I said out loud to myself 'I think the Sox will take this one in a squeaker. Hate to say it, but that's my prediction.' So I can't pick them all. I was right about the squeaker part though.

I have a history of not being able to watch gut-wrenching parts of games that threaten to put the Yankees in a deep hole or eliminate them. I turned the TV off in 2001 before BOTH of the two-run home runs off Kim against Arizona. I'm far too rational to say that this affected the outcome of the game. It was just bizarre. And I'm perfectly happy to watch those plays I missed on SportsCenter as long as my favored team wins. I guess my theory is, if they win, great! If they lose, well, I didn't waste my time and the lining of my stomach watching it.

That said, I watched ALL of game 7 of the 2001 series. Maybe I should have turned the TV off as Mariano came to the mound...;)
