too many men left on base to be a really great game. and we didn't see great pitching until the end with that inning pitched by wake where he throws the three passed balls being amazing (don't worry about it he tells tek. i'll just get the next guy and the guy after him out - and he does!). greatest game ive ever seen is one of steve rogers one hitters, the one he threw on prom night, that doug radar broke up with single in the ninth. but that reveals my bias and, perhaps, the sadness of my high school years. maybe i'm compensating - hmmmmmmmmm. anyway i'd nominate game seven last year yanks vs. sox. we lost but i was glad to see that game. it was a beautiful thing. how about game seven, yanks vs. arizona a few years back. amazing game. did schilling win that or johnson? i remember game six sox vs. reds too but only through a haze. and i saw a game once at jerry with my dad where brock stole five, staub hit three, and it went thirteen after a rain delay. i think gibson started. is that possible? and any of those play off games where pete rose marched the philles to the championship were amazing. and how about joe carter's homerun to.......HA - just kidding about that last one. fuck off all you blue jay fans (what was that about manners?)

but i'm just rambling now. sox win. sox win. sox win. keep the faith orlando.

I was hoping in that three pass ball innning that Varitek would pick the Matsui off at third. Didn't Carter do that fairly often, gun the guy at third from behind a right-handed batter? I remember seeing a guy gunned out at first by a catcher, too. Once. And Strawberry when he was young stealing home on a squeeze able to get to the front of home plate faster than the pitcher could get the ball to the catcher. I was in the kitcken making a sandwich in high school when I heard "a triple play, you don't see many of those in a lifetime".
