it's already one of the greatest comebacks in sports history

10/20/2004 12:13:00 AM

10/20/2004 12:13:12 AM

10/20/2004 12:13:18 AM

[Edited on October 20, 2004 at 12:13 AM. Reason : .]

10/20/2004 12:13:38 AM

lowe or wakefield vs. brown

10/20/2004 12:13:49 AM

that moment was probably the most intense right there at the end....

hell yea, go sox!!1

10/20/2004 12:13:55 AM

lowe starting tomorrow its official

10/20/2004 12:14:50 AM

if the wind is blowing they should start wakefield... a knuckle ball is hard as balls to hit with wind making it dance

10/20/2004 12:14:53 AM

yeah my hands were sweaty my heart was racing. One more victory. CMON BOSOX!!!

10/20/2004 12:15:26 AM

go batter to batter with lowe and have wakefield ready on a seconds notice

10/20/2004 12:15:36 AM

espn thinks its wakefield

10/20/2004 12:16:21 AM

Francona just said it'd probably be Lowe, but that they'd take time to figure it out.

10/20/2004 12:17:00 AM

Great series.

Absolutely fantastic.

10/20/2004 12:17:01 AM

i just wish all baseball games could be a tenth as good as this game/series have been

10/20/2004 12:18:11 AM

lowe is going to start....the yanks are having trouble with fastballs right now

10/20/2004 12:19:41 AM

RedSox-Yankees has always been THE RIVALRY in sports

you folks down here are JUST getting introduced to it...try living 45 mins from NYC and in New England your whole life and you know...absolutel UNBELIEVABLE

and I think that play by Pay-Rod was the most gutless, unsportsmanlike play I have EVER seen

10/20/2004 12:19:46 AM

Oh, I know full well of the rivalry.

But for a while it wasn't really much of one

10/20/2004 12:20:49 AM

this has got a to be a ploy to get Boston's hopes up only to devestate them in the end

either way what a phenomenal series

go Sox

10/20/2004 12:23:31 AM

torre backed off starting brown

i bet hes thinking el duque

10/20/2004 12:24:26 AM

once again Joe Torre proved how classy he is...I really have the utmost respect for him..

too bad his team doesnt follow

I agree. When I lived at the beach, my roommate and I used to throw on the beach all the time. I am a pretty good knuckle ball thrower and I could make that shit dance like hell when the wind was blowing good. I would love to see what Wakefield could do with a nice blow in Yankee Stadium

"Wednesday. Mostly cloudy and brisk. Highs in the upper 50s. Northeast winds around 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. Wednesday night. Mostly cloudy. Lows in the mid 40s. Northeast winds around 15 mph. Gusts up to 25 mph continuing into the evening. "

so maybe wakefield will start

10/20/2004 12:51:48 AM

Just got home from watching the game - I hate the last three outs...

you know it had to go to game 7...GO SOX!!!

10/20/2004 1:02:54 AM

i'm thinking that a knuckleball may be uncontrollable in high wind speeds.

10/20/2004 1:05:00 AM

we all saw it last night and it was a little wild

10/20/2004 1:07:52 AM

celebrating already.

wont mind if they lose, because its expected, but god damn i feel good.

10/20/2004 1:10:02 AM

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO REDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx




hell fuckin yeah....it is soooooo good to be in new england right now.....to have a bar full of 30 people hanging on every single pitch and to have 30 people to give a high five and a hug to is the most wonderful feeling in the world...other than hugging and seeing megan....absolutely fantastic....



and if wakefield starts tomorrow....it will be mirabelli catching him and doug is wakefields personal catcher...he can catch the knuckle ball....varitek isnt used to it....


either way...the sox are going to win...

When it is too windy, the ball dances too much and the pitcher has absolutely no control. Most knucklers prefer a day without any wind.

wakefield pitched game 5 last year (I think).... with the wind blowing steadily in his face and had one of his best games... He commented after the game at how much the wind helped him.

10/20/2004 1:21:08 AM

Game 4..3-2 Sox win but yeah it was windy

there is a big difference in that, then when it is random wind coming from all over the place.

10/20/2004 1:24:07 AM

Fucking awesome game.

Please don't start Lowe tomorrow night.

And please, please fuck the Yankees.

10/20/2004 1:31:50 AM

lowe vs. brown, lowe wont pitch but a few innings probably, then look for wakefield and then maybe pedro

10/20/2004 1:50:57 AM

it just keeps getting better...Pay-Rod and Millar...

10/20/2004 2:02:57 AM

so late to this thread, but I was out all night and watched the game at a local bar...

I laughed my ass off when the fans threw the balls out on the field!

w00t! go yanks!

Actually letting boston think they can take this series, just to crush their souls in game 7..... Those poor boston bastards.......... I'm almost ashamed to be pulling for the Yanks....... NAH! GO YANKS!!!!! :-)"

10/20/2004 2:05:30 AM

I love how most girls who know nothing about baseball are cheering for the yankees. I.E. all the little hookers I work with who are pulling for the yankees just cus they think jeter is hot. Last night, I told them all to get a spoon so they could eat my ass

10/20/2004 2:31:14 AM

can someone write "pwnt" on this pic for me in red sox lettering... I don't have photoshop

[Edited on October 20, 2004 at 2:47 AM. Reason : ....]

10/20/2004 2:42:53 AM

^^what about all the guys that do not follow baseball the entire season until the end when they can pull for whoever is playing against the Yankees?

10/20/2004 8:28:28 AM

GO SOX!

10/20/2004 8:49:58 AM

umm, i thought knucklers prefered a day with a steady wind blowing out...gives them the best action on the ball

10/20/2004 8:50:55 AM

game 7

of course it had to come to this after we took a 3-0 lead. goddamnit all.

i swear we lose today and i'm flying up to NYC and slapping the hell out of the first person i see. preferably The Boss.

10/20/2004 9:32:01 AM

so many good articles on ESPN.com right now...as if I needed to get more hyped/nervous/psyched/sick about game 7

10/20/2004 11:57:55 AM

serouisly...i mean this is killin me like it did in 03.

10/20/2004 12:04:45 PM

I know this sounds whiney but don't forget who the people were when it was 3-0 who were still here rooting for the Red Sox...who were the TRUE fans and not the Yankee-haters and bandwagoners...I would hate for people to call me a bandwagoner

10/20/2004 12:22:14 PM

Curt said God > curse

if you havent noticed, I havent said a damn thing about jeter... I personally thing jeter is over rated. He's an excellent ball player, I love watching him! But most of his female fans like him because he's hot.

Jeter wasnt a yankee when I was a kid.. I remember watching Bernie Williams, I actually met Don Mattingly through my dad, Paul O'Neill was great to watch when he got pissed and attacked the water cooler, I remember watching Andy Pettitte his first year which was the same year Jeter and Posada started, Darryl Strawberry, Tino Martinez, Cecil Fielder... I remember watching all these guys when I was a kid.

1- I dont cheer for the yankees b/c they're winning

2- I dont cheer for the yankees b/c jeter's hot

3- I'm not on a fucking bandwagon...

You either love the yankees, or you hate them, there's no in between.



Yankee fans are one of a kind

10/20/2004 12:23:46 PM

^ agreed. I dont pull for the Yankees b/c Derek Jeter is hott. And neither does my sister, even though she thinks is absolutely gorgeous. We have both been Yankee fans since we were kids, and that is the way our dad raised us. His idol was Mickey Mantle, and he cant even THINK about pulling for another team. He is a true Yankee. The day Mickey Mantle died was one of the saddest days in my dads life, seriously. WE arent bandwagon just b/c we're in the South and pull for a winning team. I dont care what you say about their payroll, about their players, or about their fans. I also pull for the Cardinals, but you can bet that if they were playing the Yankees, I would pull for New York. Boston can suck it, and take their empty bandwagon back to Boston when their season is over, b/c no one will be on it then.
