Kip Wells outdueled Jon Lieber in a sizzling matchup that had fans buzzing as they headed for the exits, knowing that every game of the three-game series easily could have gone the other way. Alomar played in front of packed houses in Cleveland for years but came away impressed with the intensity of the Sox-Cubs rivalry.
Every pitch seems like it's the last pitch.
Every pitch is very important. If you make one error, it's one too many errors. In Cleveland we'd get 45,000 people every day, but the intensity every day was not there. This was like a World Series atmosphere. It was awesome.
