2004 ALCS Game 4
My need for baseball is so extreme that I have Netflix-ed the ALCS games. I skipped the first 3 games because those are definitely not games that I want to see again, but watching this 4th game is just so much fun. I love when A-Rod hit the home run, the ball came back on the field, Johnny Damon threw it back out of the park, and it came back again. And seeing so many of "the guys" again, like Cabrera, Lowe, Bellhorn, Pedro, Roberts, Pokey. And of course the best part is seeing all the smiling Yankees, and knowing that they are going to lose.
Well, they just showed the Boone thing. Why did they do that? Because FOX sucks. I mean, one of the commentators (probably Tim McCarver) called Derek Jeter "clutch." WHAT?! He ALWAYS screws up in the big moments, these people are off their rockers.
I had definitely forgotten just how bad Damon was doing. When the game started, he had been batting .077. Rough. I hope he never gets above .077 for the whole 2006 season!
Bases loaded with Ortiz up, and though I don't remember much of this game, I had a feeling he was going to come up big. And then he would go on to win the game for us, because he is just too awesome for words.
Dave Roberts. They showed him for the first time about 3 minutes before he came in the game, and it's pretty cool knowing at that moment, he had no idea he would forever be a Red Sox hero.
I am definitely way too excited about a game that I already know the outcome of. I'm cheering and clapping and yelling and chanting. And what's with the guy with the "I Can't Beleive We Fell For It AGAIN" sign? I distinctly remember that fool because my mom and I made fun of him for misspelling 'believe.' I hope that man doesn't call himself a Red Sox fan, because he most certainly is NOT. But this game reminds me of all the crap that the Red Sox "fans" gave Bellhorn, which really upset me at the time and now. You just don't boo your players. That's a Yankee thing to do (remember Rivera?) and no matter how much they are screwing up, you just don't boo your players. It's not right.
Anyway, the game was fantastic. So many ups and downs, it was very good entertainment. And it was so good to see a baseball game again, I can't wait until Game 5 arrives tomorrow.
