And in the bottom of the ninth, too. How fitting. Man, what a Series!

That was a nice finish. I wasn’t for either team, but it was sweet. Now, how many men were on base, and how many scored? They are still showing the crowd and no longer announcing.

As a Red Sox fan, I consider this a victory.

Yay!

Nineiron, as a Red Sox fan, you had better take what solace you can. (I’m not a fan of any team at the moment) I still remember when Hurst retired the side to end a game with a man on 1st and 3rd and I think only one out. That had to be the best under pressure pitching I have ever seen. (1986?) Hurst had sand.

Darnit, Opus1, I came online with the intention of posting the EXACT same thing! 🙂 You beat me to it. Oh hell, I’m still going to say:

**Yankees LOSE!!!** Ahhh…what a feeling.

Now let’s see the Tribe, the Red Sox, or the Cubbies win in next year!

DP,  
The bases were loaded when a single (IF/OF in, 1 out) brought in the winning run. The DBs had scored 1 to tie earlier in the 9th.

Mark Grace is finally getting a World Series ring. He deserves it :D.

I only hope he wears his Cubs hat when he’s inducted into the Hall of Fame.

MAN! I was pulling for the Yanks (I’m normally an O’s fan, so I really should hate 'em, but this time around I was rooting for em, go figure), but the D-backs earned it. What a game!

Thanks Lurker, I was only half watching. Back in the 70s I used to root for the Yankees against the Dodgers (being I was a Dodgers hater because I was then a Giants fan), but I find it hard to get excited about baseball except for the food at A s games.

Even though they beat my Braves, right now, I love the Diamondbacks. 🙂
