October 20, 2004 Game 7 of the ALCS began at 8:30 in the evening at Yankee Stadium. After winning the first three and loosing the next three, the Yankees were sending Kevin Brown to the mound to face Derek Lowe for the Red Sox. Johnny Damon, suffering through a 3 for 29 slump decided to play aggressively leading off the game with a single to left and a stolen base, but was thrown out at home trying to score on a Manny Ramirez base hit. The very next pitch, however, was lined into the right-field bleachers by David Ortiz to give Boston a 2--0 advantage. In the second inning, the Sox loaded the bases against Brown, causing Yankees manager Joe Torre to remove him and put in Javier Vázquez to face Johnny Damon. Damon hammered Vázquez' first pitch into the right-field seats for a grand slam. The rout was on. Damon, who also added an upper deck two-run blast in the fourth, had three hits in the game. Boston also enjoyed a solid performance from their starting pitcher, Derek Lowe, who allowed only one run and one hit in six innings of work, and was never even intended to be a starter in the postseason. He pitched game seven on just two days of rest. Pedro Martinez relieved Lowe in the seventh inning, receiving loud chants of "Who's Your Daddy?" which intensified as he gave up two runs. He eventually raised the velocity of his fastball to the mid-90s and shut down the rally. At 12:01 a.m., on October 21, Rubén Sierra hit a groundball to second baseman Pokey Reese, who threw to first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz to finish the unprecedented comeback. "Not many people get the opportunity to shock the world. We came out and did it," Boston first baseman Kevin Millar said. "You know what? We beat the Yankees. Now they get a chance to watch us on the tube."The Red Sox won 10--3 and became the first team in Major League Baseball history to win a seven-game series after losing the first three games.

Mystery Royal is back! Former Royals 1B Doug Mientkiewicz joined The Drive to discuss his time in Kc and what he is up to now.
The MLB season has reached the All-Star break and our poll will focus on where the MLB all-star game ranks among the others in sports. Who will become the winners of this year's All-Star Game: Nick Castellanos, Craig Kimbrel, and the National League or the Texas Rangers-loaded American League? We will also discuss the current events of the MLB including the upcoming trade deadline and second half predictions. Doug Mientkiewicz returns from his venture with the USA 18u National Team. We will discuss the future stars of the game as well as discuss the MLB draft. We will also discuss the current events of the NBA as the off-season continues. With the Philadelphia 76ers not doing much, we will focus on their competition in the Eastern Conference.
The James Harden saga continues in Philadelphia as the Sixers try to work out a trade revolving around the all-star guard. Would trading with the Portland Trailblazers to acquire Damian Lillard make sense? Do the Sixers have enough bargaining pieces to land Lillard? We will discuss the Philadelphia 76ers' most recent moves in free agency, most notably landing Pat Beverley on a one-year deal. Doug Mientkiewicz returns to the show after his week with Team USA. We will get the low down on the future stars in baseball and look at what Team USA has to offer going forward. We will look at all the current events in baseball. The NHL Draft took place last week and the Philadelphia Flyers picked up some talent. The Orange and Black were able to take Matvei Michkov and Oliver Bonk in the 1st round and then Carson Bjarnason, Yegor Zavragin, Denver Barkey, Cole Knuble, Alex Ciernik, Carter Sotheran, Ryan MacPherson, Matteo Mann throughout the rest of the draft. How will these new additions affect the current talent roster the Flyers have? Does this mean that Carter Hart is going to be on his way out?

The NBA Offseason started off with a bang as the Phoenix Suns acquired Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal in exchange for Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, and second round picks. Beal will join Kevin Durant and Devin Booker to form one the league's best trios. We will discuss how this trade will impact the NBA off-season and the Philadelphia 76ers. We also continue to make our way through the MLB season as we approach the 4th of July and the MLB All Star Break. We will discuss everything MLB in both the American and National league including the Philadelphia Phillies' recent success against the Arizona Diamondbacks and Oakland Athletics. Doug Mientkiewicz also started his journey at the 18u USA National as a coach. We will get the low down on the potential prospects at the camp.
Intro: Host Michael Rand pauses to reflect on the Dalvin Cook era, which sounds like it will be coming to an end officially very soon via either a trade or release by the Vikings. The former second-round pick has been a 1,100 yard rusher and Pro Bowler each of the past four seasons, production that should be getting more praise than it seems like it is. 6:00: Two quotes about the Twins -- an absurd one Thursday about the number of barrels they had in a loss and another from former player/minor league manager Doug Mientkiewicz -- caught Rand's attention. 10:00: Bobby Nightengale Jr., recently hired by the Star Tribune as part of our Twins beat writing coverage, joins Rand to talk about his family, his career path and what he sees so far from the Twins. 28:00: It's a weekend of celebration for the Lynx.
Part II of a wild conversation with Doug Mientkiewicz features a fiery battle between Doug & Red Sox ownership over control of the 2004 World Series winning baseball. The 2001 Gold Glove winner has more on what former teammate Derek Jeter was like when the cameras stopped rolling. Doug tells hosts Scott Braun and A.J. Pierzynski about how he developed the current stars of the Minnesota Twins and their front office screwed up proper development of players he mentored like Byron Buxton. He also reveals why the club had a near-miss in drafting New York Mets homerun smasher Pete Alonso. More from Doug on joining "the idiots" in Boston includes the moment he thought he was traded for Nomar Garciaparra and the circus that was the Sox clubhouse (shots before games to handle adversity).

We also got Syndergaard's comments on wanting to be his old self, Ohtani still trying to one-up Trout in LA, Zack Hample catching more HR balls, the Mariners pitching staff on an impressive run, and more!

Doug Mientkiewicz joins the Sports Hounds full time! Doug played for the Minnesota Twins, Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, New York Yankees, Kansas City Royals, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Los Angeles Dodgers over the course of 12 MLB seasons. Doug won a gold medal in 2000 after defeating Cuba in the Summer Olympics, a Gold Glove in 2001 and was also famously a part of the curse-breaking 2004 World Series Winner Boston Red Sox. Doug currently coaches the USA 18U National Team. The Philadelphia Phillies aren't playing good baseball at the moment. They are currently fourth in the NL East, seven games behind the Atlanta Braves for first place in the division. They struggled on their road trips out West and dropped two five-game losing streaks in the month of May. The good news, Bryce Harper returns to Philadelphia providing some well needed offense for the team.With the Phillies back home, the Phillies took 2 of 3 against the Chicago Cubs, the Phillies now face the Arizona Diamondbacks in a three game series. Can the Phillies figure things out? Will they be able to find a rhythm that works for them so they are playing baseball in October?

"Baseball is in a weird place right now." Doug Mientkiewicz steps into The Batter's Box for Episode 78 in a conversation filled with epic baseball chatter, brutal honesty, and fantastic wisdom. Mientkiewicz's 12-year playing career spanned 1998-2009 for seven different teams and was highlighted by an Olympic Gold Medal for Team USA, a Gold Glove Award, a .360 lifetime On-Base Percentage, and a World Series Championship. While playing he also garnered a reputation as one of the best defensive 1st basemen of his era and a no-nonsense player who would do anything it took to win. This week, he joins host Al Malafronte to revisit his memorable time on Broadway as a member of the New York Yankees in 2007, as well as plenty of other moments that surrounded his eventful career. He also addresses the 2004 World Series final out ball controversy when he battled the Red Sox front office in order to stay true to his own morality. It wasn't pretty, but Mientkiewicz tells all and then some. The ultimate way to define Mientkiewicz is a "winner," and he's a firm believer in differentiating yourself from other performers in a competitive playing field - a principle that can serve hopefuls in both sports and theatre. He's also a master storyteller, and his Yankee tenure was filled with so many wonderful talking points. These include A-Rod and the Toronto stripper incident, special relationships with Joe Torre and Don Mattingly, and a strong affinity for Roger Clemens as a teammate. He certainly wasn't afraid to address some of the more uncomfortable moments he witnessed between A-Rod and Derek Jeter, and his thoughts on the changing nature of today's game...This week's Fastball Derby was also especially fun as Mientkiewicz discusses his love of the musical, Oklahoma, and even which of his former teammates would make the best Broadway leads!

The man who caught the last out of the 2004 World Series to end the Curse of the Bambino joins us today! With Doug Mientkiewicz we talk about his time on the 2000 Olympic baseball team, Tommy Lasorda stories from that experience, breakdown of his trade from the Twins to the Red Sox including his conversations with Nomar, an awkward exchange with Pedro and the overall weirdness of how everything went down. We then get into what it was like for him and Orlando Cabrera to "replace" Nomar, how much A-Rod cared too much about his image at all times, a closeup reaction from that A-Rod slap play that happened right in front of him in the 2004 ALCS, best behind-the-scenes stories from that insane comeback vs. the Yankees, how he continuously clowned Joe Torre afterwards for pitching to Papi, a lengthy story on what happened with the last out ball from the World Series (that's a juicy one), why he had endless respect for Curt Schilling's playoff performance in 2004 and how that team continued to always have the "Why not us?" mentality all the way through that World Series title run. After the Mientkiewicz interview we talk what that cryptic JBJ tweet actually meant and get y'all ready for the next Section 10 Goslings Roundtable which is March 3 at 8pm ET! All that and much more. Enjoy!

With snot-nosed punk kids going back to school, Brian and Roger figured out which Met was probably picked on the most in their formative years. Then they talked about if Yoenis Cespedes is, honestly, the most valuable player in baseball, before wondering if T.J. Rivera is going to be good before going around the horn to give the Mets the best offense possible. Then they looked back at their 2nd half predictions from the All-Star Break to see how smart they really are. Roger and Brian both gave out awards and felt bad for Wally Backman before deciding if they want Terry Collins' job in the first place. It's a must-listen to hear Brian give James Loney a round of applause and to find out if Roger can spell Doug Mientkiewicz correctly without cheating.
