Curt Schilling pitching tonight for Red Sox in game Six
Curt Schilling pitches tonight in his first Game Six since "The Bloody Sock Game", Game Six of the 2004 American League Championship Series,
In Game Five on Thursday Night, Josh Beckett, blocking out everything but Jason Varitek's target, dominated the Cleveland Indians for the second time and Manny Ramirez drove in the go-ahead run with a 390-foot single as the Red Sox stayed alive in the AL championship series with a 7-1 win Thursday night in Game 5.
Kevin Youkilis set the tone with a first-inning homer off C.C. Sabathia. The Red Sox, trailing 3-2, sent the best-of-seven series back to Fenway Park to continue a season that was on the brink of being canned for the cold New England winter.
The Red Sox - and Beckett - have done this before. And clearly, Ramirez & Co. cared.
"We weren't trying to win three games in one night," Youkilis said. "We were just going out there to play the game, go out there and fight and do whatever we had to do to win."
In 2004, Boston rallied from an 0-3 deficit to win the 2004 ALCS against the New York Yankees and went on to sweep the St. Louis Cardinals in four straight for its first World Series title since 1918.
Tonight in Game Six of the American League Championship Series, Curt Schilling pitches in his first Game Six since "The Bloody Sock Game" Game Six of the 2004 American League Championship Series. Fausto Carmona pitches for the Indians. The Red Sox have to win to force a seventh game, which would be played on Sunday Night at Fenway Park in Boston.
