Every other month I need to come here and watch this again and again....2004 ALCS and 2001 WS are by far my best 2 seasons in baseball history 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Go figure why...
I will forever love Tim Wakefield. When he gave up that bomb to Aaron Boone it killed him....I still remember after the game he was in tears...The first thing he said was " I'm sorry" to the fans He was crushed he let his teammates down and he felt like he let Red sox nation down and he took that to heart...How could you not love a player that invested in your team?
"We just needed to get to the dance, whether it was gonna be winning the east or making the wildcard our focus was to make the playoffs, we didnt really think a whole lot past that, I dont think we were smart enough." 😂😂😂 Millar is a straight up legend, one of my favorites
I remember when the Red Sox lost to the Yankees in 7 Games in 2003 I was so upset , I started weeping and I felt really sad and angry at the same time and I remembered telling myself there's no way we should have lost this game , I've felt robbed. And I remembered walking out to my mom's porch to get some fresh air and grabbing a sharpie and writing on my mom's balcony Red Sox 2004 World Series Champions and little did I know that I was predicting history and we added Foulke who led the AL in Saves and added Curt Schilling once I saw that I said there's no way we don't win in 2004.... I also predicted the Red Sox winning in 2018 and that is on my Twitter and I have proof of that I predicted the Red Sox Winning in 2004 and 2018 that's insane I haven't made any predictions ever since and didn't make any in between 2005 2017 Maybe I'll make one next season who knows I love my Sox man ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I'm a Giants fan , but I'd be lying if I said the Red Sox were not the reason for me finding a love for baseball. I will never forget that year - Thanks for all the memories.. Never Forget
Players from 2004 team that were not interviewed: Pedro, Gabe Kapler, Doug Mientkiewicz, Curt Schilling, Alan Embree, Curtis Leskanic, Ricky Gutierrez, Mike Myers, David McCarty, Nomar (he did play in 38 games for the Sox that year), Pokey Reese, Mark Bellhorn, Earl Snyder, Abe Alvarez, Manny, David Ortiz (he was still playing at the time), Terry Adams, Ramiro Mendoza, Cesar Crespo, Sandy Martínez, Jimmy Anderson, Bobby Jones, Mark Malaska, Phil Seibel, Byung-Hyun Kim, Joe Nelson, Jamie Brown, Frank Castillo (died the previous year in 2013), Adam Hyzdu, Andy Dominique, Doug Mirabelli, Brian Daubach, Pedro Astacio, Scott Williamson, Lenny DiNardo and Anastacio Martínez.
Unfortunately, Nomar was such a huge lockerroom problem at the time. They try not to talk about it, but I know from being around the team it was an issue. Still a legend, but a sad and necessary departure.
For the Red Sox fans hurricane Harvey and the 2017 Astros are the same thing, I remember volunteering cleaning out houses every neighborhood you drove into people's lives were on the side of road ready to be thrown out. Kinda rips your heart out and steps on it the Astros gave us hope, it will be okay, we can overcome thats what 2017 gave us, hope.
2004 was the year of the Miracle Series. It wasn't just the Red Sox, but it was also the Cardinals. Even though the Red Sox had alot more media (valid reasons), the Cardinals had their miracle moment as well. Guess who blew a 3-1 lead that year? The ASStros. Yes. I am not kidding you. I was happy the Cardinals did that because my Braves got knocked out by those future notorious cheaters/Bellichick's Side Team. Yankees blew a 3-0 lead. ASStros blew a 3-1 Lead. Both 2004 Championship Series had alot of hype. This was the last peak and biggest hype of baseball when I was in high school. 2004 World Series was not just a Championshop. It was the Miracle Series. Red Sox vs. Cardinals. 2 Teams who haven't won for a long time. One since 1982. The other since 1916. Both are overdue.
I remember this year being so big, I was in like some goth club in Rhode Island on a Wednesday and even we were going crazy in the club over one of the wins. I can't remember which game it was, just that it was a Wednesday night. I think it was one of the Yankees games in the ALCS. I can't remember. It was almost 20 years ago and I was more than likely drunk.
The fact that Joe Buck was involved in all of the significant moments really grind my gears, and seeing him talk in this series pisses me off so much. He added absolutely nothing to these games with his monotone, emotionless delivery. What a JOKE of a broadcaster. Lets not forget his partner, Tim McCarver (may he rest in peace) was equally bad on broadcasts. The '04 Red Sox team deserved so much more than to have these moments called by two of the worst sports broadcasters ever. That said, the '04 team was just so fun to watch. It was an emotional rollercoaster all season, and after that July 24 game, it got really, REALLY good.
I remember telling my dad in 2003 we're going to win the world series next year and when we were down against the Yankees he cried being let down his whole life but I just knew they were gonna win no matter what and I knew how life changing this was gonna be for him because I could see the fight in the players I saw in the Yankees when they were unstoppable
The Red Sox USED TO BE MY TEAM!! I grew up 4 miles from Fenway and I LOVED THEM!! UNFORTUNATELY, they let their STUPIDITY AND IGNORANCE RUIN IT!! What they did to Curt Schilling is not only DISGUSTING BUT WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS! On top of that they SELL A PIECE OF THE TEAM TO A KNOWN RACIST IN LEBIGOT JAMES!!! I’ll always look back on the ‘04,’07, ‘13, ‘18 teams with fondness but I honestly hope as long as THESE OWNERS STILL OWN THE TEAM INCLUDING LEBIGOT JAMES, THEY NEVER MAKE THE PLAYOFFS AGAIN AND THEY CONTINUE HAVING YEARS LIKE LAST YEAR!!
I ALSO LOVE HOW TORRI PLAYED LIKE HE COULD NOT PULL IT TOGETHER TO WIN ONE GAME > SCRATCH AND PULL TO JUST WIN ONE GAME > THERES SOMETHING BEHIND THE SEANS HERE
