I know this is off topic but I think it fits in seeing how baseball and tractors are both part of America's pastime. But do you think last night's (last week's) events were part of the greatest comeback or biggest choke in the history of baseball?

Go SOX!!

Greatest come back, easily. Down 3 games to none, to go on an 8 game winning streak and sweep the world series. A fantasy story to me.

I think it was the greatest comeback. But then again I'm from Maryland and an Oriole fan (sometimes I wonder why) and if you dont know it yet, everyone in Maryland hates the Yankees. Thanks Boston!

I'm a BIG Sox fan and last night was to this point in my life the biggest game I've seen. That being said bigger ones are still to come.

My better half is a die hard Yankees fan, as are her parents and she did something I never thought I'd see, she said that she would cheer for the Sox. This was after the A-Rod slap, which didn't seem like his finest moment.

What can I say but GO SOX!

George Steinbrenner needs to do the Heimlich maneuver on those pin-striped canines.

As a long suffering Red Sox fan I submit the ALCS has gotta go down as perhaps the greatest comeback ever.

However my wife is a Yankees fan - has been since she was a kid. I was informed late last evening the Sox didn't "come back" - her %$#^&&@ Yankees choked. (End of discussion...)

I don’t care as long as the Yankees lost! (Sorry to offend you Yankees fans, just my personal feelings.) I’ve been a Twins (and general baseball) fan sometimes hot, sometimes not, since Harmon and Tony were playing. (If you don’t know who they are sorry, I’m not telling :>p) I guess the main reason I don’t like the Crankees is that the organization seems to try to buy away the best players they can from other teams every year. I recently read that if they didn’t get to the World Series this year, Steinbrenner might scrap the whole team and buy himself a new one next year. I guess we’ll find out now if that is true. It seems like there is no loyalty in that organization, period. [At least if you’re reading this you are probably loyal to red tractors :>) !!]

I know that loyalty has been a declining part of pro sports, and that is why the only one I even half pay attention to is baseball. (I can listen to baseball on the radio while I work on old tractors and trucks and don’t have to be a couch potato to enjoy the game.) Frankly, I relish the day when a good player came up through the farm system and stayed with the team until they retired like Harmon, Kent, and Kriby (I know it would help if Pohlad would pay more too keep those guys too). I guess I like loyalty, seeing those retired jerseys hanging in the stadium, and seeing red tractors in my yard!

Just my nickel this morning.

Yup, only problem was I was tossing little small "idiot cubes" while I was listening to Herb describe the games on an onld AM tractor radio on the B. I"d rather be moving the round ones with my 560 D instead...

I couldn't have said it better myself. It's too bad that now a days loyalty has been traded for a pay check so large 20 people couldn't spend it all. Once you get a certain amount of money what's the point of having more?

Jblavl, I have been a Yankees fan all my life, and last night has to go down as the biggest choke in the history of the game! Bar none! My wife was rooting for the Red Sox, and I had to deal with her on a regular basis, it wasnt easy!!!
Anyway, Boston was clearly the better team, and maybe its there turn to win a series. As a Yankee fan, how can I complain with 26 world championships? I say go St Louis!!!

JBlavl,I have not been a ball fan since the big strike, I stopped watching baseball totally ,but about game four I thought I would watch the last few innings thinking it would be nice if Boston could win a game and not be swept in four...I was hooked and watched every inning since..I say the greatest comeback in sports for a long time..Yankee pitching couldn't hold the Bosox,who incidentally were favoured to win from the start, but when they were down 3-0 that didn't mean beans! It was very exciting for ball fans and this series will go down in history as a classic and we will read about it and have it brought to mind for decades.....Mike in Exeter Ontario, a former Bluejays fanatic (1992,1993Back to Back)
