2004 = the final season that ESPN legitly cared about baseball In 2005, ESPN looked like they cared about baseball with all the games they showed, but thats the season that they started to realize that MLB was never gonna be the same again after 2004. And then in 2006, ESPN no longer showed baseball games on holidays, and 2006 was also the final season that ESPN showed Division Series games, with MLB deciding to show many of their games on TBS starting in 2007.
@@daxxyboy3686 To be honest, as of the 2023, nobody cares about sports anymore, at least not about any regular season games across the NBA-NFL-MLB. Seems like only gamblers have an interest in the regular season Sometimes I look at these insane contracts that players across all 3 sports are getting, and im wondering "how in the world do players keep getting these insane contracts when it feels like each league is losing money each season, especially post-pandemic?
@@abon587 Also Kornheiser had some goated predictions here. We did, in fact, see ten pitchers that night, and though we didn't see Mussina or Schilling relieve we *did* see Pedro relieve lol
I literally remember watching this that day. And thinking about how the Yankees and their fans must be so anxious and tight in that stadium, wondering if they already felt like it was over
I as a Yankee fan was a little worried after the Mariano blown save which would have swept it but not enough to think they would come back. Once thr series was tied I knew the Red Sox were gonna win game 7.
As a Yankees fan, When the Red Sox won their 2nd game, I knew NY were screwed. So excited that the Yankees won the A-Rod sweepstakes, not paying attention that the Yankees didn’t bring back Andy Petitte
@@xandercrews4729 The Cardinals, while a great baseball organization, simply ran into an unstoppable freight train. The Sox were not gonna lose that series
Clearly Redsox's became just like the Yankees like I knew this would happen eventually the redsox's they built up thetre team slowly got all the players and pitchers they needed to become the team they became winning ball games leading and coming from behind to win games with good pitching and good hitting to win games smashing home runs almost at to win ball games like the Yankee's were doing from the mid 90s till 2004 and for the redsox's they're reign lasted from 2004 till 2013
Ahh memories. There’s no point in arguing whether a team can come back from a 3-0 deficit after they’ve already forced a game 7. If a team wins 3 straight to tie the series then they definitely can win game 7.
I have always said it is harder to stop a comeback than it is to make a comeback. What I mean by that is once the wheels get moving in that direction the team ahead now has everything to lose and gets tight while the team coming back is loose and confident.
Yes, in many ways for the better. As a Sox fan, thank GOD we will probably never see another 4.5 hour marathon game that seemed to occur every series with NY.
I am a Red Sox fan and to claim Jeter would have acted like that at 1st base is crap. A-Rod never had any class. Time proved he is a cheater, suspended 81 games and 162 games for PEDs.
@@raiders45coll69How about you check yours? This person may have been referring to SUSTAINED excellence, which they certainly have not had in a long time.
And it’s happened twice since in hockey too. In 2014 the LA Kings did it to the Sharks and before that … excuse me while I throw up in my mouth … the Flyers did it to the Bruins.
Im not gonna dissect and compare with NFL, but MLB (mainly because of its 2003-2004 season and postseason) and NBA (mainly because of its 2004 season and postseason), were both HUGE in 2003-2004. LOTS OF SPICY STORIES those seasons from MLB and NBA. I guess the 2003 NFL season, which is what Wilbon was comparing it too (year Pats beat Panthers), was an ok season and forgettable. I can see why Wilbon would make that statement.
U guys are full of bs..try 3 outs away fm...a 4 game sweep & cant get the job done...that's a high collapse right off the top that started the biggest collapse in MLB...so dont give us the yanks didnt collapse bs..
