I miss back when it was SPORTScenter and not WOKEcenter!!!! Then again nowadays I can’t even enjoy the sports themselves outside of hockey and even that is only because I’m willing to overlook some of the BS they’re pulling because it’s nowhere near as egregious as what MLB, NFL, and NBA have done! It’s sad that as a 35 year old fully disabled combat veteran I can’t enjoy/watch sports anymore! At least I still have TH-cam so I can find and watch old games for enjoyment/nostalgia
What many tend to forget is that Lowe was pitching on 2-days-rest. And he pitched a GEM = 6 innings, one hit, one run, one walk, on just 70 pitches. Lowe would then pitch another gem in the game 4 clincher against the Cards = 7 innings, 3 hits, no runs, no walks, on just 85 pitches
He was the only pitcher to get the series deciding win in 3 series in one postseason, I think Bumgarner also did that in 2014, but Lowe was never regarded highly by media and fans and yet he was the deciding pitcher in every closing game that year.
There were updates of G7 on the BBC all night but it was 6am before we got the final score in the UK - I'll never forget the joy of that moment as long as I live.
This is not true, the NLCS was an afternoon game and finished before Red Sox-Yankees in primetime. Baseball tried regional action in the LCS only once, in 1995, and it was an epic failure.
As a Cub fan I had a similar feeling in beating the Cardinals in 2015 NLDS. In some way it was as great as winning the series in 2016. Cards fans have that same smug superiority & it was so cool to stuff it in their earhole in the 1 & to this day only playoff matchup. was at game 2 at Busch & it was all Cub fans by the end of the game.
Well what’s even worse is first you couldn’t watch “Wokecenter” to get whatever sports highlights you wanted because they got too political, now you can’t even watch the sport itself because outside of the NHL and PGA (UFC too) all the sports leagues have gotten too political. At this point I would say I think MLB and NBA are the worst although if what I’m hearing about the NFL’s plans are true they will once again be the leaders in that category. I’m a 35 year old fully disabled combat veteran, I won’t get political here, however what I will say is what’s happened with these overpaid and over privileged athletes is DISGUSTING and the disrespect shown to our country, our flag and non-liberals is SHAMEFUL!! I say non-liberal because being an Atheist myself I’m obviously not a full blown conservative. It’s a sad time in our country when I the only sport I can stomach is the NHL and even they are pushing it. I watch golf but only when Tiger Plays and that’s it. I also have lost Coke, Netflix, Amazon, Google, Most movies, a lot of bands/musicians I used to love and the list goes on and on. I end up having to punish myself because these guys are being POS’s.....SMFH 🤦♂️
@@MAGA4EVA1986 Without a doubt, I completely agree with you. Sports has gotten way too political. That's why I propose removing the national anthem, star spangled banner, donning a pink ribbon on behalf of breast cancer awareness, and other military ceremonies from sporting events. Because all of these activities I just mentioned are non-sports related and have absolutely nothing to do with the game being played for that particular day or evening. Not to mention, I have complete disdain and no respect for these left-wing and right wing submissive brainwashed puppets putting on dog-n-pony shows for their left-wing and right-wing puppeteer masters.
16 years later and its still surreal.
It just never gets old
Still get goosebumps
18 years boyyyyyy
19 YEARS AND COUNTING!! my world changed that day forever!
Huge.
2004 Red Sox is the greatest sports story of all time. I'm glad I got to witness it live
And I’m glad I experienced it as a Red Sox making it even better
@@freets12 you played for the team?🤷♂️
Red Sox Rock and Rule
Amen to that. Greatest memory of my life. That Sox team was a juggernaut
@@bigperm2276 Dude, he hit .333 that year! Didn't you watch?
god damn I miss the old sportscenter days

Why are liberals considered woke? Because based on their behavior, they're anything but that.
back when sportscenter was life
The old ESPN shows are so much better because its not about past players out there debating and yelling at each other!

Game 7 win in Yankee Stadium on Mickey Mantles birthday, after Bucky Dent throws out the first pitch. That night was truly redsox fan heaven.
Nothing in the present or future will top this comeback and run by The Sox that year
Hard to imagine we're coming up on 20 years. Still feels surreal it happened
There were updates of G7 on the BBC all night but it was 6am before we got the final score in the UK - I'll never forget the joy of that moment as long as I live.
Straight magical theatre. When baseball still mattered
it's wild that Cardinals-Astros and Yankees-Red Sox were both on at the same time and relegated to regional action. Good lord.
This is not true, the NLCS was an afternoon game and finished before Red Sox-Yankees in primetime.
Baseball tried regional action in the LCS only once, in 1995, and it was an epic failure.
As a Red Sox fan, loved beating the Yankees. It was payback for everything they did to us.
As a red sox fan yankees got a taste of their own medicine
@@tommysheehan8874 they had it coming. Red Sox were on a mission to win it all.
The Skankees will always be haunted by this forever
@@JJA1987 sure will buddy. 2004 and 2018 are always epic. Red Sox were on a mission to win it all in 2004.
@@JJA1987 let's also not forget that Red Sox beat yankees in 2021 AL Wild Card game.
Remember seeing that dude running with that stupid ghost costume and as soon johnny damon hit that gran slam he was no where to be found.
5:12 WOW, Manny did not have an RBI in this ALCS, WOW!!!!
I wonder how the 2004 RSOX- curse- rivalry would have been remembered if the RSOX lost in the 2004 WS
The Roberts steal should be #1 on the Top 10 if that didn’t happen the rest of the highlights won’t happen.
I miss this version of Sports Center
What I wouldn't do to have this SportsCenter and ESPN back...
Beating the Skankees was better than winning the World Series IMO
The Cardinals were just a poor prop in the Red Sox story.
As a Cub fan I had a similar feeling in beating the Cardinals in 2015 NLDS. In some way it was as great as winning the series in 2016. Cards fans have that same smug superiority & it was so cool to stuff it in their earhole in the 1 & to this day only playoff matchup. was at game 2 at Busch & it was all Cub fans by the end of the game.
Grew up in northeast NJ as a Mets fan, the Yankee salt the next day was delicious. The Sox deserved that pennant!
Remember when ESPN was about sports? No mention of racism or lgbtq!
Good times...
17 years and 4 pennants later lol
When ESPN and SportsCenter were still good, respected ABC Sports, and didn’t constantly push political propaganda…

Johnny Damon’s the white Ken Griffey, Jr.
Peter Gammons was WRONG!
There were plenty of times the Sox choked that had nothing to do with the Yankees. It was all about the Series.
Cursed died on that night in the Bronx...but a 4-0 sweep in the World Series and a Red Moon on game 4 was erie
Great to hear Joe's and Jerry's radio calls instead of Joe Buck's.
I know. Joe is the worst...
0:12 This is SportsCenter
ESPN was so good back then.
For me, nothing will top Joe C. a few nights later. "Ground ball stabbed by Foulk..." Greatest call of all time!
Peak ESPN
Peak Baseball
I can't believe Curt's bloody sock didn't make the Top 10 list
Can't think of a greater multi game collapse/comeback in sports. 2010 Bruins stung like crazy. 2016 Warriors was shocking, but this was just baffling.
2011 Bruins made up for 2010
SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!
And they won it without a Ramirez RBI? That I cannot believe,LOL!
Still impossible to believe

SportsCenter before they became WokeCenter
Yes and now 17 years later Red Sox fans have become by far more insufferable than the Yankees ever were
But yankee fans are a joke of a fanbase
you spelled 17 years later and the Yankees franchise has been permanently crushed wrong.
