Biggest September baseball chokes you recall

(Oh, and Boston has also been on the winning end on other playoff chokes- 1986 ALCS, 1999 ALDS, 2004 ALCS, last year)

Heck, your team contributed to one of my team's worst nightmares- Oakland's horrific playoff gag in 2003!

In that case,

how did you feel going into the other Game 7 in Yankee Stadium a year later- the one with the happier ending?

(It was the most hyped game in baseball history, yet ended with a football score)

Any contrasts/comparisons?

I don't think PEDRO has been the same since then. A year later, in mop-up duty during game 7, he gave up 2 runs and he's not vintage Pedro. I get to see him, probably more than you do, Bill, but he's not vintage Pedro. He's not ALDS against Cleveland Pedro. (which I said it then and now, that he wasn't hurt) I mean Pedro was unstoppable in the late 90s but I don't think he had solid pitching around him.
