Best Games of 2003

Drood · 11-09-2003, 03:29 AM

I shelled out the money to check out MLB's "Winterball" package, which includes every game from this year.

I asked this a few months back, but figured I'd ask again to pick up any stragglers

Without spoiling the result, what games (notice the plural

) would you say were the best of the year and worth watching? I'm paying for the service, so I figured I'd use your collective brain power to help me pick games to view. (Since until the world series, I'd never followed MLB

)

As I said, no spoilers please, but make as many suggestions as you want. If you think there were 20 classic games, name 'em all

Cheers!

I'd say all of the Red Sox playoff games if you can get those.

Not great games, but fun ones as a Red Sox fan:

The Red Sox/Rangers game on 7/29 was good. Sox/Devil Rays on 4/01, the Sox/Phillies on 9/01 was a big game for the Sox and I think pushed them into the playoffs. Sox/Orioles on 9/25 was great but I think it loses it's impact without local coverage and all the stuff after and before the game. Kind of had to be there sort of thing

I know there were a lot more, but I just can't think of them.

Well, since you're the only respondent so far, I hope you can think of them

For $5 a month you get access to pretty much every game of 2003. (Plus their classic games archive, but I plan on going through every single game in that

)

Uhh...check out the Phillies game on the 27th April. That was a goody.

dougaiton · 11-09-2003, 02:49 PM

Oh...check out Montreal's first away series in San Juan...that was pretty exciting...

I told you the ones you should watch the first time you asked. Did you watch those?

andjbock · 11-09-2003, 11:19 PM

I'd watch the game where the sox beat the everloving snot out of the Marlins. The sox had 20 runs, that dude got drilled in the head (which is not good), then a fight almost broke out afterwards.

Check out the series of Jays home games prior to the end of all-star balloting. You can see me and my cool giant sign.

Sadly, during the free trial, I wound up having no time to watch

But now I'm PAYING for it, I'll be making damn sure

And I have that prior thread saved out on my hard drive for reference

Thanks for the suggestions. Keep 'em coming if you have them
