Fenway Park
It was the last game of the regular season. With nothing left to clinch and the Papelbon jig videos gone stale, Don allowed Jerry to indulge in a homer inning. The video is long, so be patient and let it load. It's worth the laughs.

Fenway Flashback: The Morning After
September 29, 2007
Fenway Park
the man who is supposed to take you to the promised land
What began with a quiet Dice-K win ended in the wee hours of the morning with beer boxes on heads and Irish jigs. There were clearly consequences to such reckless abandon and Jerry and Don were there to hand them out. NESN's game coverage began with this lovely montage:

And Don and Jerry spent a good deal of the game provide commentary of the festivities and little Ellsbury was obviously lost his little rookie mind. I dare you not to laugh.

Fenway Flashback: O What a Night!
September 28, 2007
Fenway Park
Camden Yards
The Red Sox came into the game needing a Sox win and a Yankees loss to clinch the AL East. Dice-K was outstanding as the Sox got their win, but the Orioles stole the show down in Baltimore, while the Fenway Faithful stood vigil in Fenway. The truest of the true Red Sox fans stay in the ballpark for hours after the Sox game had ended, despite the sufficient lead that the Yankees had -- despite the fact that the Yankees had only lost one game in which they went into the 8th inning with a lead. Despite all the odds, the Fenway Faithful stood strong, willing the Orioles to rally, eyes glued to the Jumbotron. And the Orioles were feeling the love that night and mounted one of the most exciting comebacks of the year. Here's what the folks were watching on that giant television in centerfield:

Lost Writers Mea Culpa??
In the last Dharma Special Access video, LOST producers future Damon Lindelof was wearing a future NY Yankees t-shirt. In this week's video, I believe the writers' have subtly tried to right their wrong. The above screencaps show, what I believe to be, two LOST staff members wearing Red Sox caps! As Sawyer has said, it's all in the details...

Fewnay Flashback: Sympathy for the Devil (Rays)
September 10-12, 2007
Fenway Park
It was a different time. I was a time when the Rays admitted the Devil was in them and wore green vests. Yes, vests. Change was coming to those Rays though. They were showing signs of the team they were about to become, especially through the arm of Scott Kazmir and the bat of Carlos Pena. When they came to town in early September of 2007, the Devil Rays were scratching and clawing (like little girls) there way out of last place, while the Sox were clinging to first place with the red hot Yankees hot on their trail. The Sox-Rays rivalry was just a shell of what it would become, but nonetheless, better baseball is seldom seen. It was a fantastic three game series with all the twist and turns of a playoff series.
Game 1 pit the veteran Schilling against the young superstar Scott Kazmir. It was a tremendous pitching battle, ending in the Rays' 1-0 shutout of the Red Sox, with only 12 hits between the two teams. In stark contrast, Game 2 was a hitters' game. Wakefield, who had only 2 career losses against the Rays, took the mound. Wake, perhaps, had started to struggle with the same injuries that would eventually take him off the playoff roster. He gave up a pile of runs early and the Sox fell behind 8-1. The one run came on a homer by Jacoby Ellsbury. It was looking like it was going to be a long night. Well, it was a long night, but the Sox quickly started chipping away at that 7 run lead. A two RBI base hit by the now Yankee, Kevin Cash, helped to turn the tide. The Sox scored 3 runs in the 4th inning, bringing the score to 8-4. Although the Rays scored an additional run, the Sox piled on the basehits in the 5th inning, bringing themselves within one run. The score was now 9-8. Pedey got things going in the 6th inning with a solo homerun to tie the game at 9 runs apiece. That pretty much drove the pitcher out of the game and the Rays called on Grant Balfour. I love it when they call on Balfour! With some great at bats against the Aussie, the Sox then loaded the bases for Kevin Youkilis.
The Sox followed it up with a Big Papi homer and another homer by Drew. It was quite a night of baseball. In the end, The Sox beat the Devil Rays 16-10 and the teams combined for 38 hits.
Game 3 was another hard fought battle that resulted in the Sox trailing going into the 9th inning.
'nuff said.
