You are correct, the Mets were down to the final out and had two strikes in Game 6 of the 1986 Series, before the passed ball and the Bill Buckner goof allowed the Mets to win the game. Worst night of my life. Although many forget that was only Game 6 - the Sox had another chance to win the Series, and were actually ahead in Game 7 too, but lost. That was the night of my second wedding anniversary, and it was miserable.
No, no, no it's pronounced "wickid."
The Yankees need Olerud to win, which is why they lost the past 3 games, he's been hurt.
We'll see, we'll see. By the way, my husband went to Fairfield University...
The Red Sox haven't won since 1918. If they hadn't been a dominant team in the years before that (wins in 1912, 1915 and 1916), it could even be written off as undeserving because of the number of ball players fighting in WWI.
you are 100% right.......go Yankees, rudy guiliani's team
Money, money, money, mmmoney....mmmmmmmmoney. (You'd sign too).
I'm a Sawx fan, but I really wanna see that Cards line-up hitting in Fenway..Eait till Pujols and Rollen see the Green MOnster..
I'd much rather play at Fenway than at Yankee Stadium. NY fans are nasty, IMO!
How do people get to the Stadium in the Bronx?
Isn't the Subway still closed because of the Republican Convention?
It was worse than that. The Mets were down to their final strike with no one on base. The Mets started their entire rally with no one on and two outs.
Also, if Buckner fielded the ball cleanly, it was too late since the Mets had already tied the game one batter earlier. Buckner's error gave the Mets the win, but the game would have went into extra innings, and more than likely, just prolonged another inevitable loss for the Sox.
I like that scenario, except that the Astros would have a hard time keeping the Sox lineup in check. I hate to say it, but the Sox have to be favored to win over the Astros, and I would really, really hate to see that scenario in relation to the election a few days later. Too many ways for the media to hype Kerry as the comeback kid, and that this is the year for Boston (Pats, Sox, Kerry)
Hillary doesn't know the difference between a pop fly and a man's fly.
``I should have just run over him,'' Rodriguez said."
Um, yeah. Or... mabye you should have just accepted the fact that you hit a lousy pitch and were out. But instead, you thought you'd try to get away with cheating. What a loser. This is what $25 million a year gets you?
I have never liked the Red Sox much, but Rodriguez is a great reason to dislike the Yankees even more. Of course, the spoiled-brat, whining-baby behavior of their fans when the calls (rightly) went against them last night are another.
Yankees fans are classic "front runners", classic band-wagon jumpers. I hope they Yankees get their collective *sses handed to them tonight. I can't wait to hear the silence as all those blowhard ignoramouses watch the despicable Red Sox celebrating an historic butt-kicking, right there in the heart of Yankee-dom.
Or am I taking all of this a little too seriously? :-)
Jeters--er, cheaters--never win
What's that noise? Killer bees in St. Looey?
If the yanks lose, there will not be silence. They will burn the city down.
I have no clue how the game will go, I hope the Sox pull it out though.
Lost to Mets in 1986 (ball thru Buckner's legs)
Kerry is NOT a real Red Sox fan .... otherwise he'd know who David Ortiz and Manny Ramierez are (not Manny Ortez ...)
Yep, I don't care about sports, but if it's from Kerry's state, I want it to lose.
