Boston Red Sox: 2007 American League East Division Champions
so guess where i was last night? i will give you a hint read the title.
as a red sox fan i have no problem saying last night was the highlight of my being a red sox fan. don't get me wrong winning the world series was amazing, but i wasn't there. i didn't get a champagne shower from people such as ortiz and papelbon, but last night i did.
it was the set up that made it amazing. dice k pitched a great game: 8 innings, 2 earned runs, 2 walks, and 8 Ks. papi hit a home run. lowell got two more RBIs. and papelbon closed it out 1, 2, 3.
the win was nice, but the real drama was the scoreboard on the green monster. every time the yanks scored it was boo'd and every time the orioles scored it was cheered. everyone watched the play and then looked directly to the scoreboard. it didn't look good. the yanks were up 8-6 in the 8th and the sox had just won.
it was about 9:45pm.
about half the fans left fenway, but the rest stayed so the orioles/yanks game was put up on the jumbotron in center field. as soon as this happened jeter hit a double and arod hit him in.
9-6 yanks
the bullpen door opened and out walked rivera. all the fans left in fenway left except for about 2000.
it was about 10:05.
rivera went on to allow the bases to become loaded and then of all people jay paton hit a bases clearing triple.
9-9
now there was some drama. the reporters started unpacking there stuff. they started taking pictures of the fans and i felt that normal octoberish sick feeling, only it started early this year.
the yanks came up in the top of the 10th and had the bases loaded with one out. some how they got out of the inning without giving up a hit.
it was about 10:30.
now the orioles are up and the bases are loaded. millar is up and the fans at fenway are cheering for him...he strikes out...we sigh.
bases loaded 2 outs.
melvin mora comes up with the bases loaded...he bunts...
he freaking bunts...
they score...
no outs....
holly crap....
we just won the division for the first time in 12 years...
i am freaking in fenway an hour and a half after the red sox game ended and we just clinched the division.
matt and i ran down towards the dug out and got in second row to the right of the sox dugout.
then the players started coming out and i took these clips...i hope this gets the atmosphere across...
the official red sox video:
and apparently i am on espns photo section for the game:
what a night...it's one i will never forget!

Goodness me, it looks like somebody had one heck of a time! Go Sox indeed!
i watched the game and watched the end as most fans left but the die hards stayed and wondered if you were there. I videod it with my camera and yelled to no one as Millar struck out and the Yankees went on to lose the best game evvah! You are a die hard fan nephew and I can't believe you were there to witness the bliss.
GO SOX...it was wicked awesome! Love ya!
Hey buddy im sry to inform you, but that person you circled is not you. That is actually my friend Dan and I am the kid that is on the tarp in the Papelbon jersey. By the looks of your video you seem to be just behind us. sorry.
Anyways, that game was unreal and I will never forget it especially when Cora and Lowell came over and sprayed us with champagne.
Go Sox!
