“Don’t let us win tonight.”
That was Red Sox first baseman Kevin Millar’s warning before Boston beat the New York Yankees in Game 4 of the 2004 American League Championship Series to ignite its historic comeback from a 3-0 series deficit.
“This is a big game. They’ve got to win, because if we win, we’ve got Pedro (Martinez) coming back (in Game 5) and then (Curt) Schilling will pitch Game 6 and then you can take that fraud stuff and put it to bed,” Millar said. “Don’t let the Sox win this game.”
Unlike those Red Sox, the Golden Knights don’t have two aces up their sleeves to help them erase a 3-1 series deficit to the Capitals.
