Despite being emotional about returning to Boston, Christian makes the argument that Brad Marchand seems fine with going to the rival Panthers over returning to Boston. Also, Jeremy Swayman didn't have as rough of a night as the now troubling defensive pairings. Then, running back and pass rusher still seem to be the big Patriots trade targets, but who is out there that is reasonable? And, its been a week and Jason Varitek still has been announced to return. Craig Breslow must not be thrilled with Tek's radio appearance a week ago.

October 16th 2004 The Yankees lead the ALCS two games to noneover the Red Sox with Game 3 in Fenway Park. As in the first two games, theYankees began by scoring in the first and quickly building a 3-0 lead. The RedSox answered in the second inning with a leadoff walk by Jason Varitek and aTrot Nixon home run to right field. A double by Bill Mueller, an infield hit byJohnny Damon (his first hit of the series), and a Derek Jeter error led to twomore runs. The Red Sox led for the first time in the series, 4–3. This lead wasshort-lived as ARod led off the third inning with a home run over the GreenMonster and the Yankees would build a 6-4 lead. By the end of the third, theSox would even things up at 6 apiece off a double by Orlando Cabrera. That wasas good as it would get for the Sox for the rest of the night. When it was allover, the two teams combined for 37 hits and 20 extra-base hits, bothpostseason records. At four hours and twenty minutes, the game was the longestnine-inning postseason game ever played. The Yankees destroyed Boston, 19 -8 ,amidst chants from Yankee fans of“Nine-teen -Eight-teen”...the last time the Red Sox won a World Series. With a3 game to none, lead things looked bleak for the Red Sox.October 16, 1969 - The New York Mets win theirfourth straight game from the Baltimore Orioles with a 5 - 3 triumph behindpitcher Jerry Koosman, who throws a five-hitter, to take the World Series infive games.

After a strongargument by Mets manager GilHodges in the bottom of thesixth inning, Cleon Jones is awarded first base when shoe polish on the ballproves he was hit by a pitch, and Jones scores on a home run by Donn Clendenon.An inning later, Al Weis ties the game 3 - 3 with a solo home run, and in theeighth, Ron Swoboda's double and two Baltimore errors give New York two moreruns and the World Championship.

October 10, 2004 The Boston Globe reports growing concern for Curt Shillings ailing right ankle. With two days to go before game one of the American league Championship series against the Yankees in the Bronx, Schilling was downplaying the injury and all but guaranteed he would make every scheduled start the rest of the way. Concerns would grow more serious with each passing game leading up to the famous “Bloody Sock” of Game 6.October 10, 1956 - Pitcher Johnny Kucks sets down the Brooklyn Dodgers, 9 - 0, as the New York Yankees win the World Series in seven games. Yogi Berra hits a pair of two-run home runs and Bill Skowron hits a grand slam. It's the seventh and final time Brooklyn and the Yankees meet in the Series.
