    Anyone who seriously thought we were winning this series is a delusional blind homer. I didn't rate us for more than one win, and that was optimistic.
    Priorities:
    1. Yankees lose
    2. Red Sox win

    I realize they need a day off for travel, but I wish they were playing today, dammit. Rip that band aid right off.

    I still marvel when I think about how much a split second matters in this game. Can anyone even imagine what we'd be saying about Tito or Dave Roberts these days if he had gotten thrown out on that steal?

    - From the 2004 ALCS Game 4 Gamethread. A reminder that no game is over until the final out is recorded, and things will always get better. Misspellings unchanged as a reminder that Yankees fans are just terrible.

    I hear ya. There was also the fateful moment in Game 5 when Tony Clark hit the ground-rule double that would have driven in the series-winning run if it didn't bounce over the wall in the right-field corner.

    The baseball gods were smiling on us that year, for once.

    I have often used that play as a perfect example of randomness - The bounce of the ball potentially being the difference between a win and a loss.

    Same thing in the 78 playoff. Piniella playing out of position on RF line, can't see a thing due to blinding sun, but is able to catch a ball on Lynn, then same thing on a hop on Remy base hit, stopping Burleson at 2nd when he could have easily jogged to third. Rice then hits a bomb out that would have scored Burleson for a sac fly and tying run...arggggggggggggggggggggggh

    I know, Piniella makes 2 plays in that game he had no right to make...baseball gods were unkind to us that day.

    I was too young to watch (or remember) that series, but things like this happen all the time in baseball. In a short series, randomness (luck) often prevails.
