On ESPN Classic Now; Game 7; 2003 ALCS; BOS @ NYY

I agree. It's kind of like when I suffered through the 1995 ALDS. As much as it sucked to watch the Yankees blow it in the playoffs, it set some glorious things into motion.

 

It's kind of like a movie in that sense. A lot of bad shit happens and then the ending is pretty glorious. But man did that homer kill me for a few weeks.

 

I was watching the game with my little brother, a big Sox fan, and he was pissing me off so I proclaimed Boone was going to hit a home run when he came up to bat just to shut him up. When Boone did, I started cheering wildly. He, on the other hand, started crying like a little girl.

Oh, and it was great to buy that "Still We Believe" Red Sox DVD just to watch all the Red Sox fans agonize over it.

Good times.

 

Either/or. I hate to quote Bill Simmons, but his line about "somewhere out there, there's an 8-year-old wondering if the Yankees will win a World Series in his lifetime" always made me chuckle.

 

Poor Yankee fan. :'(

 

I thought nobody cared about the Yankees and Red Sox.

 

Who said that?

 

Oh what a night, and not because of the ballgame.

 

You have to feel for those poor bastards, crying themselves to sleep on their 26 World Series trophies. :'(

 

You're a jerk.

 

And another thing -- after the past decade, nobody in Boston gets to complain about anything, ever, for the rest of their lives.
