No team has EVER forced a game 7 either. There's a first for everything.

If it's another close game & Yankees win later today, it'll be even worse then Aaron Boone.

From what I understand, no team had forced a Game 7 from 3-0 either.

Don't get too happy, no team has EVER forced a game 7 after losing the first 3 games.

 

[Hubris]

Woot! Go Sox! I was pissed at you for getting down 3-0, but all is forgotten. Come give me a hug. And a kiss.

No team has ever forced game 7 either from 3-0. The entire season comes down to tommorow.

yeah the Red Sox are already in uncharted, highly improbable territory. in over 100 years of professional baseball this has never happened!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOO RED SOX!!!

Anyone else feel that the Umpires are completely against the Yankees? Not the obvious calls, but the balls and strikes throughout the last 3 games have been completely in Boston's favor. This is BS.

have fun trying to find anyone in this world that sympathizes for the Yankees. I think the umps have done a pretty good job calling the games. No one expects them to be perfect, but they certainly have been consistant.

Bad calling would be Marlins vs Braves in 97, when Livan Hernandez only manages to strike out 15 with a strike zone the size of the umpire calling it (was his name Eric Gregg? He was a big, big guy).

Not exactly. Like how about that Foulke pitch in the 9th inning? That was an obvious strike. How about the called third strike on Nixon thrown by Lieber that was 5 inches outside? It's been bad for both teams...

If the Yankees lose game 7, then this will go down as one of the biggest postseason chokes in baseball history (along with the other 1000 Red Sox chokes)

don't get too happy. all the yankee fans were crying sweep!

This series was not predicted by anyone. Yea people said it would go 7, but I guarantee NO ONE thought it would go down like this. I am the most diehard Yankee fan and I LOVE this. Sure the Sox have all the momentum right now, sure they have the rest of the world behind them, but one thing for sure, whether they win or lose, they are still the best team in my heart.

No team has ever come back from 3-0 to force a game 7.


Wait...

 

[Mojoed]

Ok this is insane. I SWEAR the Red Sox are gonna be the death of me. The last few innings I couldn't even sit down and my pulse averaged 125.5 lol... (Taken six times over the last 40 minutes of the game. Ya I know, I'm a dork.

Anyway GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SP33Demon]

Wait till the Yankees/Torre see the replay of what ARod did... how can you have any respect for a punk move like that, even if he's your teammate?

What can I say? The Red Sox outplayed the Yankees 3 games straight. They become the first team in history to come back from 3-0 to force a game 7. If they win tommorow, it's well deserved.
Schilling pitched a gutsy game, hats off to him.
Classless job by some Yankee fans in the stadium tonight, but the same thing would have happened in Boston as they showed in the past.
Plain and simple: Yankees were outplayed again.

Yah. Lack of offense again. Middle of the order not doing squat. ARod not hitting worth a damn. And amazing how many middle of the plate fastballs the Yanks seemed to take in that last inning. What are you waiting for? I understand trying to work the count and trying to make the pitcher work but damn, 88mph fastballs down the middle? Better swinging at those than Foulke changeups when he has the count in his favor.

EDIT: Grammar

There were quite a few calls against the Sox in each game. The officiating has been terrible.

 

[gflores]

A classic game. Can't wait for Game 7. Hopefully, it'll turn out as great as this one (or greater)!

Your talking about 2 pitches. I'm mostly referring to Mussina's most recent game. He did not get A LOT of calls. If you don't know what I'm talking about, watch the game again if you can and see how frustrated Mussina is at the strike zone. Many calls that Pedro got, Mussina didn't get and vice versa. They are consistent at being inconsistent.

 

[Shuxclams]

As a dutiful lifetime BoSox fan, all I can say is I can't watch.... I stopped watching and they started winning... I fear the 7th game is going to be one of those "awww damn so close" agains!

They are human and they don't have the slow motion replays we see. They got the big 2 calls right tonight.

Moose was being squeezed the whole first inning.

I got a little bit excited when Jeannie Zelasko said "double dip". I think it moved.
