July 2, 200421 yr In an UNBELIEVABLE comeback, the Yankees, with their last pinch hitter John Flaherty, beat the Red Sox on a walk off homer!!!!!! After Miguel Cairo drove in Ruben Sierra to tie the game in the bottom of the 13th, Flaherty's blast with two outs gave the Yankees the 3 game sweep!
July 2, 200421 yr Author MLB is now reporting it as a ground rule double - it is possible that Flaherty didn't even make it to the plate before getting mobbed...
July 2, 200421 yr The ball did bounce once before going into the stands but it was a mere formality. If Manny were playing a little deeper he may have gotten to that ball however.
July 2, 200421 yr I can't blame him that much for leaning shallow, because that way they avoid the run scoring on a single.
July 2, 200421 yr Best game I have seen in my life. 436033[/snapback] Did you forget to watch last years postseason?
July 2, 200421 yr may i ask if you saw this game? if the answer is no then you clearly have no idea what your talking about.
July 2, 200421 yr may i ask if you saw this game? if the answer is no then you clearly have no idea what your talking about. 436114[/snapback] Yes I watched most of it... There were at LEAST 3 games in last years postseason that were better than that.
July 2, 200421 yr This game had more nonstop excitement and incredible turns than any game i ever saw, yes the postseason games from last year had comebacks and events but lets put it this way if this game tonight was a playoff game it clearly goes down as a top game in the history of baseball. it was THAT good. all 4 hours and twenty minutes of it.

July 2, 200421 yr for you. i said to ME this was the best game I saw. it had everythign you could want, its not even like someone imploded or choked it was a long hard well excecuted baseball game. all the little events like Boston havign 5 IFers and havign players swapping gloves and changing positions to defent the bases loaded situations added something different that not many games have. then you have all the sidenotes suchas Nomah sobbing on the bench since he is in a feude with the team along with jeter giving up his body to preserve the tie all of this added to an incredible game. i supose it is only seen this way if you root for one team or another but this was stuff of legends and i can only wish every fan can see a game like that.
July 2, 200421 yr i couldnt watch it, but i saw the highlights on espn... the game looked amazing. i'm not a yanks fan, but i must say i was pleased with the end result. :thumbup i'd love to see that $130 million not even buy a wildcard entry.
July 2, 200421 yr Personally I thought the game was horrible. 436199[/snapback] :lol sorry bout that...
July 2, 200421 yr it was a fun game, you just didnt like the ending. :plain 436216[/snapback] I'll agree with that
July 2, 200421 yr it was a fun game, you just didnt like the ending. :plain 436216[/snapback] No, I hated it.

July 3, 200421 yr It was an unbelievable game... from hitting homeruns (Tony Clark and Posada) off Pedro to Halsey (3rd career start.... vs Red Sox nonetheless) holding them to 2 or 3 runs, the game was a seesaw battle. The Yankees had a number of innings with winning chances, and the Red Sox battled through it. Manny hitting 2 homeruns, Pedro nailing Sheff, Leskanic nailing Sheff, Arod making a clutch double play, Jeter's play... it was definitely a Yankee Classic to say the least.
