A Red Sox/Yankees-less ALCS!!! Hooray! I am a Red Sox fan through and through, but I am a fan of baseball first and foremost. I think that this lack of Red Sox/Yankees is good for baseball, unlike others. Also, I am free from teh wrath of the Yankee fans from my Public Speaking class for when I give my speech tomorrow. Though they'll all whine

Any Yankees fan who whines about shitty umpiring needs to be referred to 1999 posthaste.

That said, thank JESUS for something other than a Sox/Yanks ALCS.

Yeah, that was the worst umpiring in the history of ever. I mean the 2004 ALCS had potential to be really really awful, like ALCS Game 6 in 04...at least when Foulke was pitching in teh bottom of the 9th

Heh. I have a soft spot in my heart for 1999, if only because that was the season that turned my otherwise sports-hating roommate into a rabod baseball fan.

99 brought me back to baseball after a couple years of zoning out. It was all because of Pedro Martinez and that 99 All Star Game

Oh, fuck. THAT ALDS is fucking legendary.

[piney61]

It definitely was. But I'm more partial, but only because it's fresher in my mind and overcoming Oakland's pitching was truly something, is the 03 ALDS. Though Game 3 was pure luck at first.
