This article reminds me of that article Fire Joe Morgan posted that was from right after Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS that was like "oh it's so cute that the Red Sox managed to win a game. They ain't winning the series."
I was in school for a lot of those early games, so I didn't get to see such wonderful things as Mo blowing saves or Jacoby Ellsbury stealing home against Pettitte (I really missed baseball while I was in college :( but all things considered, it's probably very good that I missed the 2007 postseason entirely due to being in Spain, because it would have just made me angry. The way the entire thing played out, plus what happened afterward with Mo, Alex, and Posada almost leaving, would have just pissed me off excessively). It's nice to see the Sox fans say the latter was the best moment of their season; sure, it was awesome for sure from a Red Sox fan perspective, but it was April 26. And it's a looong season...
I still kind of can't believe the Red Sox lost to the Angels in the playoffs. And they got swept. Let me repeat that: the Angels swept the Red Sox in a postseason series. The Angels have been completely owned by the Red Sox in postseason play since literally before I was born. This year, though, they totally flipped the switch on those guys, and the way they did it was freaking awesome.
Why am I talking stuff that happened in mid-to-early October in mid-to-late November? Cuz that's what I do. Yeah.
