Talk:2004 American League Championship Series

message: I removed a reference to Roberts's game 4 steal as "The Base", because that name isn't widely applied to that particular play. I HAVE seen it referenced on several occasions as "The Steal", though I don't know whether that usage is sufficiently widespread to be worthy of inclusion, either. -Colin Kimbrell 15:52, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: The Stat Tables

message: The Toronto Maple Leafs came back from 3-0 down to beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-games-to-3 in their best-of-seven series in the 1942 Stanley Cup Finals and the New York Islanders duplicated the feat in 1975 during the Stanley Cup Quarterfinals against the Pittsburgh Penguins. So I edited the line to "first team in professional baseball history." However, I have no idea if it has happened in baseball at the minor league level so to be 100% accurate that line might benefit from being further edited to read: "first team in Major League Baseball history..."

thread_title: Fair use rationale for File:2004ALCSLogo.gif

message: This article seems heavily biased in favor of the Red Sox (of which I am a fan).  I cleaned some stuff up like "Schilling, in a valiant effort....", and the fact the 0-3 deficit comeback was mentioned at least 3 times in the article.
I know they won, so it's hard not to make them look like the better club, but let the facts tell the story, don't dramatize it.  162.136.192.1 (talk) 20:41, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  NPOV 

message: There's a quote attributed to Johnny Damon: "What's hard to believe, it was almost exactly one year ago tonight that Aaron Boone hit that home 11th inning home run to beat the Red Sox, to get for some reason it seemed predetermined that would be right back here a year later for a rematch of sort." - Unless I'm missing some nuance of American English, that doesn't seem to be correct (or maybe it was just mis-spoken?). The two references are both to DVDs. I know nothing about this game so I'd appreciate it if someone who actually knows what they're talking about could double-check this.

thread_title:  yankees player tossed out of game 

message: This comment in the Game 7 section " Lowe, who had significant bullpen experience for the Red Sox, was never even intended to be a starter in the postseason." is misleading at best. While it's true that Lowe had significant bullpen experience, he had been pitching as a starter for the 2002,2003 and 2004 seasons during which time he won 52 games as a starter. He was clearly intended to be a starter in the postseason.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bwanab (talk • contribs) 13:35, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Derek Lowe 

message: This is widely regarded, even by people with only a passing interest, as the greatest baseball series of all time. Several outlets call it the greatest comeback in the history of sports!
That deserves mention in the first paragraph of the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Curedwales (talk • contribs) 05:01, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
