October 26, 200520 yr QUOTE(Wedge @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 01:53 AM) what about Randy Johnson? Didn't Beckett do it, too? They have relieved... but have never gotten a save.
October 26, 200520 yr Unit got the win because it was a tied game. Beckett came out of the pen for NLCS game 7, he finished the World Series with a complete game

BTW, I know it wasn't a World Series game, but whenever there's a chance to cite that movie, I have to comment on it. Edited October 26, 200520 yr by fathom

October 26, 200520 yr I watched the game last night, saw the whole thing. Watched the post game. But for some reason, something on the radio caused me to laugh: Winning pitcher: Marte Save: Buehrle It's sooooo damned Twilight Zone like!!!
October 26, 200520 yr QUOTE(RockRaines @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 09:32 AM) nice catch Damn Ken Griffey and his catch at the wall!
October 26, 200520 yr QUOTE(bschmaranz @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 03:41 PM) Damn Ken Griffey and his catch at the wall! It's amazing how great Lou hung in against the tough lefty. You really have to question giving Griffey Jr. something good to hit earlier in the game though.

I was so damn pumped up it was ridiculous.
October 26, 200520 yr He's also the first pitcher ever to get a start and earn a save in consecutive World Series games. Edited October 26, 200520 yr by robinventura23
