Indeed. Game 5 is one of the better postseason games ever - and it wasn't the best game in the series.
Check forty years ago. Same two teams. That was something.
I think the NLCS that year was fairly dramatic as well.
Yeah, that's certainly the best counterargument. I'm too young to remember the series personally, so all I really know about it is The Double. What were the expectations and the emotions coming into the series? What were the first four games like?
EDIT: And I'm only talking about the DSes. Of course there have been much better LCS and WS.
First time I wept openly at a baseball game.
Swisher — 2 for 14
Cano — 2 for 16
A-Rod — 2 for 15
How the hell were they up 2-1?
Here is Game 2. Which is utterly awesome even if you don't account for the fact that it's the auspicious postseason debut of one Mariano Rivera.
Look up Wieters' and Jones' numbers.
My excitement system places it #1 among all playoff games, which is pretty good.
EDIT: "######### this is stupid. Somebody hit a ####### home run and end this ####### Yankees game, ########."
Joey Cora, is that you?
If this is The Game That Saved Baseball In Seattle, MLB Network runs a special answering all those questions and more. Watch for it this off-season.
Fun fact - they could have IBB'ed Edgar (he of The Double) and pitched to a raw rookie named Alex Rodriguez.
The game that made me cry. Good quality. Go to the 8th minute to see the relevant dramatics, replete with Dave Niehaus (RIP) on the mic.
Wow. That's some game. I particularly like that the winning run was thrown out at the plate immediately after the tying run scored in the 12th.
boteman - Thanks for the heads-up. I'll keep an eye out for it.
And for the Yankees it was the first time the team had been good in...a long time. Tensions were high, to say the least.
During game 1, some Yankees fans threw batteries onto the field, at Mariners players, etc. From my perspective as a kid in the Northwest, that's the exact moment when the Yankees went from 'I don't like them' to cartoon villains.
In retrospect I get that it was an incredibly small minority of the fans, and that the fans of many teams can behave inappropriately. But I assure you that the tension and anger of Mariners fans was very real and very strong due to that incident.
Game 2 went like 15 innings and somewhere around 14 hours.
When Johnson came out in relief just two days after winning game 3, I knew deep down that it was going to happen. And then The Double.
(Also, again, if Teixeira hits the walk-off, any family he still has in Maryland is going to need to be put into protective custody.)
A's/Tigers is on TNT (or tbs, whichever one it is). Is that not an option for you?
Its best competition is probably this one (sorry, A's fans).
A ludicrous Overstock.com marketing idea.
EDIT: Coke to Larry.
Also, I again want to assert hat the O's are probably frontrunners for Swisher if the Stinks don't resign him.
You are not alone.
All three of the next three batters will hit a home run.
Apparently not. It's Amazing GF's TV, so we got what we got.
She got sick of waiting for somebody to do something in the Yanks/O's game, so she suggested turning that off and just listening to the radio broadcast.
Better than listening to Buck ####### Martinez, any-damn-way.
I was unaware of that incident. Had to Google.
Maybe one should be more careful when already on rehab (for TJ).
Where's the 1B? Are the Orioles trading for Morneau or something?
Swish can play 1B. Actually, if he were a full-time 1b, I'd expect he'd be an excellent one. He just hasn't been called upon to do it much, lately.
(Please don't flame me.)
No idea. What's weird is he then spent a couple if years as a good OBP, no power guy and now his average has cratered but he has good power. He's like three different people.
I noticed it and Cal just said it, but it seems like Wieters was basically telling him to look out but he was looking the other way.
