I don't know about the best in history--in my adult lifetime, we have the Astros/Phillies in 1980 NL Playoffs and the Twins/Braves World Series in 1991--but any top ten list without it is going to be lacking. I say that even before we know how it turns out tonight.
With Schilling and Leiber giving both bullpens a bit of a breather (and it didn't go extra innings), I foresee a long battle with a lot of pitching changes tonight. I question if Foulk can be expected to pitch his 6th inning in 4 days tonight, so Timlin looms large in the Sox pen. Rivera is fresh (for him), but the Sox showed that they CAN get to him.
I'm not a fan of either team and I'm pumped for it!
