7PM TONIGHT on Fox Sports WEST
REPLAY OF: 10/5/02 – ALDS Game 4: Yankees @ Angels
David Wells Versus Jarrod Washburn
The Angels’ first playoff series win.
Count how many times they remind us that Roger Clemens flew back to New York to be ready for tomorrow's game. They say it with certainty through just about five innings.
Not to spoil it, but in the bottom of the 5th, Shawn Wooten's homer turns everything around, and If my memory is right, it comes right after a sort delay to retrieve a beachball. So... just sayin' thanks to whoever hit that beach ball onto the field...

I bet that Soth
Brings Percy in during the 8th

Whoops wrong game
I read that as Game 2, not Game 4.
red floyd - February 2, 2009
Got me all confused
Kept waiting for Percy to come on then…

What to watch for in the 5th inning
The staggering number of balls that would have been caught by a halfway competent defense.
Watching that game — in person! Boo-yah! — made me realize all at once that the great Yankee era was over. The 1996-2000 version played real smart baseball. Kind of like our Mauch teams in the ’80s, only with guys in their primes.

I was there
This game was awesome! I remember leaving the ballpark that day high-fiving all the other Angel fans, and yankee fans walking away shamefully.
halofan1 - February 2, 2009
Yankees fans
couldn’t get out of there fast enough too! Leaving the stadium that afternoon was definitely a highlight of that whole post season.
Clip Show - February 2, 2009
on ESPN Classics, I am currently watching the 1994 Kenny Rogers perfect game
against the Halos, wish I could watch Game 4 2002 ALDS instead
tanana40 - February 2, 2009
just caught that signoff
Ken Brett RIP
Rev Halofan - February 2, 2009
yes, indeed, I always liked Ken Brett
on a brighter note, it was fun to see the crime dog Rex Hudler playing third
tanana40 - February 2, 2009
SORIANO LEADS IT OFF
bitching about the strike zone
Rev Halofan - February 2, 2009
sit down!
soriano
SCHalo - February 2, 2009
DON'T BLOW THIS WASHBURN!!!!
strike zone looking terribly in favor of the Yankees.
Rev Halofan - February 2, 2009
this is so cool they're replaying these games
SCHalo - February 2, 2009
bengi gil, wow
i just spit my drink out
SCHalo - February 2, 2009
platooning AK
The Soth did it his way even then…
Rev Halofan - February 2, 2009
yep
the same thing everyone complains about today.
SCHalo - February 2, 2009
This was one of 2 productive platoons in 2002.
Soth also effectively platooned Spezio and Fullmer at 1B.
sothball - February 2, 2009
WTF?
Ron Coomer?
WiseAndEck - February 2, 2009
maybe it is the hi-def
but players these days look bigger than they did way back in 2002
Rev Halofan - February 2, 2009
In Giambi's case, he really was bigger...
sothball - February 2, 2009
Ba dum dum
Ba-dum-ching
Clutch - February 2, 2009
Robin Ventura!!
You can still see the lumps on his skull from Nolan Ryan’s fist.
sothball - February 2, 2009
Johnny!
Rivers.
WiseAndEck - February 2, 2009
and THAT is why we should sign Manny!
Rev Halofan - February 2, 2009
Where is scot boras???
His dugout suite is EMPTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rev Halofan - February 2, 2009
Way to run out that bunt Bengie!
TheTypingFiend - February 2, 2009
Benji Gil and Shawn Wooten
Rally Platoon!!!!!!!!!!!
Rev Halofan - February 2, 2009
Wow, Juan was running fast!
mjhsieh - February 2, 2009
Look at that Limber Soth run.
angelskid2210 - February 2, 2009
I never realizedJuan Rivera had such blinding speed...
sothball - February 2, 2009
Benji Gil...
wish we still has him…
angelskid2210 - February 2, 2009
WOOT DOG
it was the beachball from the RF pavillion!!!!!!!!!!!
Rev Halofan - February 2, 2009
WooWooWooten!!! Oh yeah...
sothball - February 2, 2009
Home Run Napoli, er... I mean Wooten
44FAN - February 2, 2009
Hitting frenzy...here we go!!!
sothball - February 2, 2009
One inning
10 hits
8 runs
No superstars.
God, I loved that team.
sothball - February 2, 2009
Watching that team
gives me goosebumps. It was pure beauty, the whole playoff run.
angelskid2210 - February 2, 2009
I had forgotten-
Just how dammed sweet that fifth inning was. They tore the Yanks all new bodily orifices, small ball, homers, singles, opportunistic baserunning, every weapon in the Halo arsenal. Damm Good!
Jimatkins - February 2, 2009
Yup. Baseball at it's finest.
What a joy to watch…
sothball - February 2, 2009
I'm digging the Serie Del Caribe
Live Baseball is better
Dono Romantico - February 2, 2009
And I missed the fifth
Coming back from the gym, and Trader Joe’s en route. Thought I could go fast enough…think I missed it the first time around, too.
Clutch - February 2, 2009
I love how with the Yanks down 9-4 in the bottom of the 7th, two outs
The damn announcers are/were STILL convinced the Yankees are/were going to take this Series.
Clutch - February 2, 2009
Haha
“Go Home Yankees! Go Home Yankees!!!!!!!!”
halofan1 - February 2, 2009
Why do they keep flashing a picture of President Obama between innings
while the commercials are going on? That’s kind of weird.
44FAN - February 2, 2009
subliminal messages
the liberals want to control your brain… :P
howiestheman - February 2, 2009
You must adapt.
44FAN - February 3, 2009
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS!
LIGHT IT UP!
Clutch - February 2, 2009
WOK SUCKS...
I had to work late tonight, and I missed the replay of the game on Fox Sports West. Who won?
halofolife - February 2, 2009
WOK
I meant WORK
halofolife - February 2, 2009
I don't know
but it wasn’t anyone from New York or Boston, so ESPN didn’t cover it.
red floyd - February 3, 2009
I hate AT&T
Get this. And I’m not making it up.
I got home last night and turned on FSW. It said…and I quote…“This game has been blacked out in your area.”
So now, AT&T’s wonderful U-verse system believes that I will not only travel 4 hours to watch a game, but also 6 years backwards in time.
ArkAngel - February 3, 2009
Write to them and bitch
Call them and bitch. Write to Fox and bitch about ATT, etc…
red floyd - February 3, 2009
I have.
I have. And I have.
I’m switching to Direct.
ArkAngel - February 3, 2009
And let ATT know *why* you switched
red floyd - February 3, 2009
Absolutely.
I really thought at first that they were trying to put a good product out there. But that doesn’t seem to be the case.
ArkAngel - February 3, 2009
Darin Erstad's Dying Quail ...
… just out of the reach of Alfonso Soriano. If Soriano catches that Texas Leaguer for the second out Benji Gil tags up and scores to put the Halos ahead. David Eckstein later scores before Troy Glaus flys out to rightfielder Raul Mondesi (reminiscient of Doug DeCinces flyout to Dwight Evans with one out in the bottom of the 9th of the 1986 ALCS Game 6—some ghosts never die) for what would have been the third out (if game events are all predestined). The Angels would have had only a triplet fifth inning instead of octuplets and a 4-2 lead instead of 9-2.
When else have I failed to see a second baseman catch a critical pop fly? Oh yeah, in the 2008 ALDS Game 3 when Howie Kendrick missed Jacoby Ellsbury’s pop up for the first ever 3-run single in post season play. What goes around comes around. Sometimes they fall in for us and sometimes they fall in against us.
When Erstad’s pop up fell in to drive home the go ahead run I turned to the Yankee fan standing next to me and said “Don’t worry. That will look like a line drive in the box score!”
This was the first time I had viewed the video of 2002 ALDS Game 4 as I was at the game in person (section 520 or 521 directly above a tunnel looking directly down the third baseline). The ALDS Game 4 fifth inning eight point touchdown (go for two!) was incredibly surpassed in ALCS Game 5 when the Halos recorded a ten spot in the 7th inning versus the Twins. Last night I told myself I would just watch the game through the fifth inning and then turn the set off. Nope. I watched the game until the end. How sweet it is!
