2013 MLB Postseason

[BillD1984]

Heard something today that I didn't realize going into last night's game. This was the first time the Red Sox have ever held a 3-2 lead in an ALCS.

*In 1975 the Red Sox swept the A's (the LCS was a best of five series in those days)
*In 1986 the Red Sox trailed the Angels 3 games to 1 before winning 3 straight games
*In 2004 the Red Sox trailed the Yankees 3 games to none before winning 4 straight games
*In 2007 the Red Sox trailed the Indians 3 games to 1 before winning 3 straight games

To simplify, the Red Sox had NEVER had a chance to win the AL pennant in a Game 6 before last night.

Good luck in the Series, Bill. What a dream season and post season for you!

Doesn't sound like they have ever had a lead !

They didn't. Even the ALCS' that they lost, they never had a 3-2 lead going into Game 6.

Thanks buddy, it's been an incredible ride! A ride, that I must admit, I didn't anticipate back in the spring.

Quite the roller coaster ride thru the last series.
Then again, when you play good teams in the playoffs, you'll have the roller coaster effect, unless your team dominates.

As much as I thought Napoli could have been ALCS MVP with his two timely swings in Detroit, they got it right with Koji.

That's too bad. Before he came, they sucked.

Can we get Ron Washington to resign too?

That's too bad. Before he came, they sucked.

Jim has been a class act wherever he went. And I will say this now in the purest sense of how it is written...the love between him and Miggy is something that would make a great story or baseball movie. He completely turned Miggy's life around and supported him, counseled him, kept him out of the limelight when things were bad for Miggy. The way he also kept Miggy away from the temptations during the post game celebrations spoke volumes regarding their relationship. I am thrilled he is staying on with the Tigers. You should all be proud that he is, too.

Congrats to both the Red Sox and Cardinals for making it to the World Series. Would also like to say a congrats to all the Red Sox fans (Bill, Hart, etc.) and Cardinals fans on the boards.

Should be a great World Series but I think the Red Sox win it in 6 or 7 games. Btw, is there a team that does everything right than the Cardinals? What I mean is that they always seem to rise above or replace important pieces of there team. Look at Pujols. LaRussa. Duncan. It seems like everytime the Cardinals lose somebody, they replace them like that. Look at them this year with Micheal Wacha. Guy was the NLCS MVP. I dont think I ever heard of him before this year.

I believe he was in College last year .... probably why no one knew him ... possibly was in the College WS, don't know.

Looking forward to Wacha going head to head with Bogaerts.

To the surprise of no one, it will be Adam Wainwright vs. Jon Lester, Wednesday night at Fenway.

This too should be a excellent series.

As it turns out, a WS game 5 would go up against a Rams home game versus Seattle.....

Mayor Mumbles is at it again....

In what could be the final sports blunder of his administration, Boston Mayor Thomas Menino told reporters on Tuesday morning he hoped the Boston Red Sox would win "the World Series Cup."

Final sports blunder for Menino?
