10/17/04 CS Game4 vs Yankees W 6-4 12 Innings

When the bullpen can hold on, the hitters will come through. It might take them 12 innings, but eventually it will happen! I have to admit I was a little concerned after Foulke came out of the game, this bullpen has been worked like a dog in this series. But Letspanic looked more like Dontpanic, and Big Papi made them pay. This game really reminded me of the 2003 post-season. Every game was exciting, down to the wire every night. I can honestly say that even though I was disappointed that the Sox lost game 7, I really felt like I had seen the best two weeks of baseball in my life. That and the fact that I was completely exhausted mentally.

The only choice we have at this point is a game at a time. If we win today, we play tomorrow. If they take that attitude, we might see this go to six. And don't be surprised if Schill steps up and takes the mound at Yankee Stadium.
