On the Brink of Greatness, or past it?


Maybe it’s me, but I am on the verge of possibly witnessing the second world series in my lifetime, and I know that my lasting memory will be of the ALCS not the Series? I will never forget Foulke, Tek, and Mientkiewicz colliding after Renteria’s groundout like it was yesterday, but the rest of the series vs. St Louis not a single other play. I will never forget freezing my ass of smoking a Cig during the lunar eclipse looking in the window watching the Yankees series. I remember every game of the come back, but nothing from the World Series prior to the last out!
I feel that when the 2007 series is over, I will remember the last out only and every at bat of the ALCS. I will remember destroying Colorado in game 1 but ask me the score this time next year. I will remember Schil’s (If it is) last start as in Boston, and that he won a pitchers duel, but will I remember it for the World Series or because it’s the end of an era? I am not complaining, just reflecting and hoping I remember the 07 WS as the highlight of the year and not the ALCS like I did in 04. That being said, I wouldn’t want it any other way then the Sox in 4!

Bill . . . we haven't won anything yet! You're jinxing us!!

But you're right about the last World Series. The Yankees series was so grueling, and then with St. Louis it all happened so fast. We'll see what Colorado has to offer us in the way of a challenge. Might be a lot, might be nothing. But we still gotta win 2 more games.

Go Sox!
