Way to Go Red Sox!
Posted on October 20, 2004 at 11:56 PM EST
I am by no means a baseball fan, but I figured since hockey season has been cancelled this year and I’m really missing watching sports, that I’d watch the Red Sox game tonight. I thought it would be a great game since they tied up the ALCS series after being down 3-0 to the Yankees.
After David Ortiz hit a grand slam, which was the second one in Red Sox post-season history, it brought the score of the game to 6-0. It seemed like they were definitely going to win until they pulled their pitcher in the 7th inning. The new pitcher, allowed two runs after three people had batted and things weren’t looking too good. They decided to pull him after the one inning and ended up winning 10-3.
This game set several post-season records; it was the greatest comeback in baseball history (where a team has won the series after a 3-0 deficit), it was the worst game a team had ever lost (after losing four straight games), and it was the first time the Red Sox had beaten the Yankees in a series.
I’m looking forward to watching the World Series and hope the Red Sox keep up their lucky streak. They’re definitely due for a win since they haven’t won the World Series since 1918.
