right now Game 5 1986 ALCS RedSox/Angels

Gedman just hit a 2 run homer off Witt

[dvldog]

i wonder how it ends...

they had one of those games on the other day -- i watched the whole damn game; awesome find.

[Gantry]

This is solid, thanks for the heads up!  Watching now...

Weird to see Boone back there, should be Hendrick...

[Gantry]

Baylor just went deep off Witt, looked like the ump blew a called strike 3

[dvldog]

gedman goes down -- shouldn't have hit that homer

[Gantry]

That was hilarous - Mauch brought out Mike Witt for a guy named Lucas.  He had one goal, to get out GoGo.  He was 3-for-3 at this point, so Mauch went with the matchup.  What does Lucas do?  One pitch, decks him in the head/hands and goes out of the game....

[ultimate7]

Henderson barely held up swinging at strike 3 to end the game

[Gantry]

Oh Donnie!  I just kept rooting for him even though I knew what was coming...

Hendu was just chucking out there, totally looking for the fences...

[ultimate7]

Coming up in the bottom of the 9th Boone, Pettis, and Wilfong.  Wilfong will not have the PH bonus, doesn't look good.  

[dvldog]

stanley's on the mound -- no chance for Ca

[dvldog]

Boone singles -- tying run on base

[Gantry]

Rob Wilfong knocks in Rupperto, brings a tear to my eye.  What a slide by Ruppert!  

That's what you get for bringing in Schiraldi

[dvldog]

it's time to pull Donnie Moore -- let's see if they do

[Gantry]

What a fucking game!  Downing's catch and the bunt by the BoSox were both classic...

Chuck Finley is in, I had no idea he was on the 86 Angels....

[dvldog]

Finley and Moore may be the ultimate Anti-Wife combo

[Gantry]

They should have swapped wives, that would be good TV!

It's over, what a game.  That will stay on the TIVO for quite some time...

[Gantry]

They are now doing a one-hour special on the series with a focus on Donnie Moore, Dee-Nee!   Gonna record and save it for when Sperling/Potsie/Lips stop by...

[dvldog]

notice the sad music... what a tragic postseason

[malnuboy]

Do you thing think that Washburn will now commit suicide?

[ultimate7]

I went out of town Friday at noon and never had a chance to finish commenting.  The Grich homerun that Henederson dropped was a crazy play.

While I was watching the game I didn't realize it was game 5 of a 7 game series, I was thinking it was game 5 tied 2-2 in a best of 5.  After the angels scored in the bottom of the 9th I went to check my BBall Almanac to see how many innings the game was gonna go (I had to get a bunch of shit done before leaving town).  And then I see then RedSox won in 7, not 5, insane.  I don't think you can blame Donnie Moore that much, they had 2 more freaking games left.
