You shouldn't get to see this stuff more than once or twice a lifetime. But between Trot's ALDS homer, Lowe's HUGE strikeout of Terrence Long, Papi's walkoff series clincher against the Angels, Roberts' steal, Papi's two consecutive walkoffs, Johnny's grannie, Manny's walkoff against the Angels, Beckett's titanium balls against the Tribe, Pedroia's nail in the coffin, Ellsbury's catch against the wall in the 9th inning of Game 4 of the Series, Drew's homer against the Angels, Bay's slide while getting spiked to clinch....
And now...
Pedroia's single,
Papi's homer,
Drew's homer,
Coco's legend-making at-bat, followed by that single,
and then Drew putting one over Gross' head....
Let it never be said, ever again, that God doesn't love Boston. We are the luckiest sonsofbitches that have ever rooted for sports teams, and let us never forget it, no matter what happens Saturday and/or Sunday.
Take a gander at this chart, and how it bottoms out, right around the time I was naming B.J. Upton the ALCS MVP. And then, redemption, revelation, resurrection. Greatest comeback ever.
The defense rests... on your face. Greatest comeback ever.
