The 2004 Red Sox

[CrespoBlows]

What do you guys think about this, the Red Sox forcing a game 7, rallying in August. This team has to be up there.

[schillingouttheks]

i dont think its a big turnaround, if your talking about a team the previous year vs the present year. i dont think its the biggest turnaround at all. we should have made the world series in 2003 but someone named grady little f***ed it up for us.

2003, Montreal Canadiens... coming from down 3-0 to beat the Bruins in 7. Depressing times, Montreal sucked. That was a memorable series/turnaround, too bad they lost.

How about 2004 biggest trade in history look at the record with Nomar to without.

Canadiens came back from 3-1 not 3-0 like the Sox did especially after a humiliating loss.

[YanksHater213]

3-0, 3-1 Same difference, its just as humiliating when a team of idiots beats you. (In the yankees and bruins case)

I wouldn't exactly say same difference had happened before in the history of professional sports 3-0 hadn't.

It's hard to believe they were a .500 team for most of the summer. They didn't win the division, yet they did pull it all together at the right time. Coming back from 0-3, and winning 8 straight against the teams with the best and second best records is an amazing accomplishment. I always though the '78 team was the best Red Sox team ever, but after this year the '04 Sox have to be number 1.

Happy 20th anniversary, everyone! 

Did this one game bring you back from the pit of despair that was game 3 and the memories of 2003? 

[mvp 78]

And I agree with OP, that team "has to be up there." 🤩

Nope, but it gave me hope. Still needed three more... and then we'd never have to watch Fox clips of Babe, Bucky, and Boone again.

OOPS -- I meant Fox would never again show Brock Holt's CYCLE in YANKEE STADIUM in '18, and the Nunez-Pearce ALDS-clinching play, and Eovaldi beating NY AGAIN in the '21 WC!!!!!

I'm watching the series, now.

"Red Sox fans have longed to hear it..." 

What an iconically crappy call. 

[Bellhorn04]

For me the very best moment of all the moments was the end of ALCS Game 7 in Yankee Stadium, looking at the guys in the dugout getting ready to run on the field and celebrate.

Orlando Cabrera turning to the crowd and holding up four fingers on one hand and an empty fist on the other.

Mine was Jimmy Valvano running around the Fenway infield looking for someone to hug... err....ummm, oh wait....
