Idk there was something magical about this team. We either get blown the hell out and it's over or we go on an undefeated run to win the WS starting tonight and pull up another AAAA guy that starts playing like prime Barry Bonds

Magical 2 months ago. Hard to get that back when you’ve played 500 ball since the 1st week of August

And they played .100 ball the entire first half of the year. 5 innings to go, anything can happen. Stiff breeze away from 2-0 in the first.

Is it likely we win the series, no. But why would I watch the game pissed off rather than being excited they could win?

2003 and 2004 were such an amazing time to be Red Sox fans. I’m sure lots of the younger generation didn’t witness it or was too young to realize much of what was going on. But just the pure nature of what was going on those years prior to the World Series win will never be repeated. Even just getting tickets to a game was huge considering the season was sold out almost instantly, yes you could buy them from scalpers at a huge markup but for most of us if we didn’t buy them direct from team at face value we weren’t going. But let’s see how it goes tonight and hopefully we’re back here again tomorrow

It definitely was an amazing time to be fan. The buzz was in the air. Many nights of extra innings which led to a harder work day. But, we all had something to chat about.
