And then once we won, we got the momentum going and created some history.
Well, you know, I would spend more time on their hitters.
We knew them well.
But, you know, Jason Veritech especially would want to go over every detail and make sure and, you know, review the game.
And that's why game three it was sort of obviously they had a good night offensively, but they also hit pitches that we probably thought
They shouldn't be hitting, and it was just one of those nights, so we kind of washed it.
And then on the pitching side, as the series went on, obviously we were using guys in different roles.
Wakefield, all the way to Folk pitched a lot, Pedro out of the bullpen, and then Derek Lowe, and I think it sort of gets forgotten.
He pitched on two days rest in game seven and pitched great.
So it was like both sides of the ball.
It was just kind of a scramble to piece it together and win one game at a time.
No, it was great.
And, you know, I mean, as great as Rivera was, we'd seen him a lot.
Kevin Millar, as much as any hitter could sort of match up with him, you know, sort of the high playing cutter.
Kevin could sort of, I mean, I don't know what his career numbers are.
I know he had some success against him.
So he got the walk in ball four.
It wasn't close.
Obviously, we know we're going to pinch run there.
And that was the key.
