Yes, Gom. I am the dumbest person to ever post here.
So what you're telling me, is that for a game to be truly great, it HAS to be a double elimination game?
I think that's possibly the dumbest f***ing thing I've ever heard.
And 2004 wasn't great? So basically what this is boiling down to, is that when your team wins the elimination game, or the Sox lose (and I love how you threw 2001 in as an afterthought, nice touch), then it's a truly great game?
Tell me, what did game 7 in 2003 have that games 4 and 5 didn't. Don't tell me it wasn't a double elimination game, because that's on the Yankees for not showing up in game 7 in '04.
Extra innings? '03 had it, but so did game 4 in '04.
Walk off homerun? '03 had it, so did game 4 in '04.
Late inning comeback against arguably your rival's best pitcher? '03 had it, but so did game 4 in '04.
What's it missing to be one of the great games ever?
