My wife asked me why I would even bother watching since it was almost over. I told her she wouldn’t understand.

I still haven’t seen it all the way through. The highlight reel a hundred times, of course, but I haven’t yet put my hands on the full game.

It was the only contest of that whole postseason that I didn’t watch in real time. I had a dinner meeting I just couldn’t get out of, so ended up “hitting the head” (running down to the bar to watch) about 15 times over two hours. Was lucky enough to catch Spezio’s homerun, but missed the eighth inning fireworks. I’m still bitter.

Even though the Halos were down 4-0 and 5-0, the place never stopped rocking.

The only other times I saw this were during the 2009 playoffs. In the ’07 and ’08 playoffs, when the Halos were down, the stadium was dead (except for those [CENSORED] RSN types).

In ’09, even when we were behind 3-0 in game 3 of the ALCS, the stadium kept going.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll never forget that game. I was at my favorite ribs joint with my whole family. Best memory #3 behind my wedding and my daughter’s birth. I haven’t gotten to see it all the way through again until now.

It’s 11:30 out west. FYI.

Thanks for the heads up – DVR set.

I saw that game live and was all but packing it in. Then Boom (Spiezio) and Boom (Erstad) and I was just stunned.

Awesome game.

Thanks for bringing back the memories :)
