00:00In the end, the Red Sox ain't finishing ahead of the Yankees this year.
00:03Really? You're still confident about that?
00:04Not only are they not finishing ahead of the Yankees,
00:06the Red Sox aren't getting beyond the division series this year.
00:10This is all a nice story, fun little story, good for Boston, good for everything.
00:15No team could play like this to the bitter end.
00:18And I take you back to the 2002 A's.
00:21A freaking team a movie was made of.
00:24Moneyball, that 20-game win streak.
00:26Do you remember what happened to the Oakland A's that year?
00:29Yeah, it didn't go well for them in the postseason.
00:30Who did they lose to in the postseason?
00:33In what year was this again?
00:342002.

00:46That's right.
00:47You're right.
00:48Nobody loses to the Minnesota Twins in a division series.
00:51And that was the most incredible run.
00:53This is probably the greatest run we've seen since then.
00:54Are you trying to tell me we had a Twins Angels ALCS?
00:57Yes, we did.
00:58Boy, oh boy.
00:59You're talking about out of my memory.
01:00The point is, for the Twins to actually make an ALCS when they are always a division series
01:05entrant and exit, it took a team who had an historical season.
01:09That's all it was to put them in position.
01:11And that's what the Red Sox are.
01:13The Red Sox didn't go out and spend a ton of money last offseason.
01:16They are the 2002 A's.
