Red Sox Sweden
Hello,
Baseball fan from Sweden here.
I wanted to purchase a few of the best games from the last season. Which games do you consider the best and most exciting games from 2005. Please name the date and also why you think that och those games were the best. It doesn´t hurt if it involves the Red Sox since I´m a fan of the Sox but it doesnt have to be.
Louisville Cardinals
Not sure of the date (October 9th I think), but the Astros-Braves NLDS game 4 that went 18 innings and lasted 5 hours and 50 minutes
Longest game in playoff history, very dramatic
Blessing
Opening Day at Dodger Stadium. April 12th.
Using a stolen chant from Boston Celtics fans whenever an L.A. team is playing up there just reeks of inferiority complex.
If hitting a baseball is the toughest thing to do in sports, then pitching must be the easiest thing to do in sports.
Out in LF (Bartman of BBF
May 6th was the Cubs losing their THIRD STRAIGHT game with two outs in the 9th
Mythical SF Chronicle scouting report: "That Jeff runs like a deer. Unfortunately, he also hits AND throws like one." I am Venus DeMilo - NO ARM! I can play like a big leaguer, I can field like Luzinski, run like Lombardi. The secret to managing is keeping the ones who hate you away from the undecided ones. I am a triumph of quantity over quality. I'm almost useful, every village needs an idiot.

Nationals @ Padres 9/17
Padres losing 5-0 in the 9th, Randa hits and RBI single, Khalil hits a game-tying grandslam in the 9th. All of this with 2 outs. Then Ramon Hernandez hits a game-winning 3 run homer in the 12th inning to give the Padres a win. This win also marked the possible wrap up for the division.
Matt Kemp MVP
Opening Day at Dodger Staduim I though it was over in the 8th for us when Kent grounded in a DP and Drew stuck out. The first 2 weeks of the season gave way to a pitiful showing by the Blue
I enjoyed Jose Gullien after being booed by Angel fans hitting a HR to give Washington a lead in the 8th after Donnelly was kicked out of the game for cheating, Classy Angel fans punching Ryan Church on the left field wall.
Just a terrible game for the Angels

For me, it was definitely the 18-inning Braves v. Astros game
"Too many pitchers, that's all, there are just too many pitchers Ten or twelve on a team. Don't see how any of them get enough work. Four starting pitchers and one relief man ought to be enough. Pitch 'em every three days and you'd find they'd get control and good, strong arms."
