Re: MLB 2011 Part 1

Well that's odd, when I looked up overachieving in the dictionary today, I saw the 2011 Cleveland Indians were listed as the definition!

Right now the official Major League Baseball world series film collection is (relatively) dirt cheap on Amazon Gold Box deals.

#3 -
#2 -
#1 -

Games I think have a chance to be in the top 3 (1961-2011):

At least one of these two will be in the list.

Braves vs Twins, Gm 6 1991 WS (Puckett HR + Catch)
Braves vs Twins, Gm 7 1991 WS (Jack Morris, 10 innings)

#3 is Red Sox vs Mets, Gm6 1986 WS (Buckner/Wilson)
#2 is Braves vs Twins, Gm7 1991 WS (Morris 10 innings) - Sunday 7 ET MLBN

So let the #1 speculation begin.

I'll stick with Royals vs Cardinals.
 
Re: MLB 2011 Part 1

#1 is likely Game 6, 1975 Series, Carleton Fisk's homer in extras to send it to Game 7.
 
Re: MLB 2011 Part 1

Walk breaks up the perfect game after 7.1 IP. The rest is still in tact for Jaime Garcia.

Edit: Very next batter with a clean single.
 
Re: MLB 2011 Part 1

Cliff Lee tonight: 7 IP, 16 K's. He got 21 outs, and 16 of them were strikeouts.

Ethier: 30 game streak.
 
Re: MLB 2011 Part 1

Saw this on another message board. I don't really get it, but I think it fits.

Royals/Cards was a 0-0 pitcher's duel until the 8th, when St Louis scored a single run. Then there was "the call" and the Royals scored 2 to win. They then won Game 7 11-0 as St. Louis collapsed worse than the Lakers yesterday.

Red Sox/Reds was a back-and-forth slugfest with both teams holding, then losing, leads. Fisk's eventual homer was a trademark for baseball telecasts that followed. Game 7 featured the Sox jumping out to a 3-0 lead, with the Reds rallying for the 4-3 win.. I tend to think the MLB Network will want to focus on something positive (Fisk) than something negative (Denkinger) so Red Sox/Reds will probably be #1.
