Message: [QUOTE="ClifSpliffy, post: 3124768, member: 9260"] 7 all-stars, 3 starting pitchers with double digit complete games, 2 gold gloves, the al leader in hits, hr's, and rbi's, the al mvp, and a pitcher named 'the spaceman.' 14 game lead on the yankees after the break, they not only lost that lead (choke 1), but they miraculously managed to tie it again on the last day, only to lose at home (59-22) in a one game playoff (choke 2). ladies and gentllemen, I give you.....the 99 win 1978 red sox. its one thing to mess up a game or a series, but my folks tell me this demise over months played out like high drama in the northeast that summer and fall, with names like el tiante, catfish, reggie, eckersly, fisk, munson, billy, yaz, rice, the pitcher who never lost (Guidry 25-3) and george steinbrenner owning the media. 3 yankee managers. birth of 'the bronx zoo.
