I don't get WWOR on my DirecTV. How the hell did they blow that lead?

Note to Joe Torre: Don't play any of the regulars this weekend.

Congrats, Sox fans. Must feel nice to have that monkey off your back.

Congrats to the Sawx fans.

It shuold be an interesting series with the Angels.

Didnt they play each other once in an ALCS series in the 70s or 80s that was epic?

Yes and sort of.

1986.

Sox trail the series 3-1 and game 5...5-2 entering the 9th.

Dave Henderson hits a HR to take the lead in the 9th and Sac Fly win it in the 11th.

The easily win the next two games to take the series. Then after that it is all hazy.

A dark cloud hands over the event because Donnie Moore the Angels reliever, who gave up the HR, would committ suicide a few years later and many believe the 9th inning was the root cause among other issues he had.

Congrats to the SOX fans on pretty much going wire to wire with the division.

Wish the Mets could say the same.

Good luck in the post season.....here's to a Yanks-Sox ALCS.

I won tickets to the 2nd Home game in da Bronx should the Yanks escape the divisional round so I'll likely be there with my Capt intagibles jersey on.

Yep i remember now, and i remember the Donnie Moore suicide. Reminded me of jimmy piersall, who also suffered from depression. If anyone had a reason to go nuts in 86, it was buckner, but he just moved out of NE after his family took too much abuse.
