^ So true. And sometimes his most emphatic statements aren't even true.

I was there. Speechless. Disappointed in lack of rioting FWIW

This will most likely be a redundant statement, but, that was the greatest World Series game I have ever watched in my 31 years.

I'm not certain how that can be matched.

The entire 1991 World Series was basically like this, but I am unable to rank it objectively. All you need to know is that the Twins won Game 7 1-0 in a game in which Jack Morris pitched a (the last?) 10-inning complete game.

I was only 10 at the time of that series but I think that series was probably my favorite baseball moment (or moments, I guess) of all time. Weirdly enough, even better than when we won it in 95. There were definitely some mistakes and terrible moments (effin Hrbek) but, for the most part, it just seemed like amazing performance after amazing performance. I mean Mark freakin Lemke hit like .415 in that series!

I think I had dreams for a while as a kid of fat ass Puckett somehow jumping high enough to catch the ball at the wall and then coming back to hit the HR in the bottom of that same inning. If someone just says "tomorrow night" in everyday conversation, I automatically hear Jack Buck in my head (not safe for some Braves fans, his line is about at the :25 mark):

Last night was amazing but you're exactly right, the 91 series felt like 7 games of "last night" moments.

Edit: not sure how I didn't pick up on Joe using the same line last night but I completely missed it.

There have been lots of games that turned on electric moments, but I can't offhand think of one in the World Series that had so many of them. Tonight was a classic. Or at least it'll be remembered as such if the Cardinals win tomorrow night.

Wasn't the playoffs but in 2005 mark mulder pitched a 10-inning complete game shutout against Roger clemens I believe. 1-0
