Here is a sampling of NY Post stories on the game... KA-BOONE! By GEORGE KING October 17, 2003 -- ALCS Game 7 Yankees 6 - Red Sox 5 (11 inn.) NY Wins Series 4-3 The Evil Empire lives! Maybe there is something to this Curse of the Bambino after all. How else can you explain what happened last night at Yankee Stadium in Game 7 of the ALCS? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW AARONIC! AT FIRST, there was a spasm of silence, as if no one could possibly believe what they were seeing. This couldn't be real. It couldn't be possible. Aaron Boone? Surely, he couldn't have done this. Surely, this was an illusion, a mirage, the product of all the tension that had been building the last four hours. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THANK YOU, GRADY LITTLE BEFORE there was "Bucky" Boone's game-winning, city-lifting, pennant-clinching, magical home run; before all the tears of joy were shed at Yankee Stadium early this morning; before there was Superman Mariano Rivera; there was Grady Little. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CURSE STILL HAUNTS SOX YOU figured it would take something biblical for the Red Sox to ever beat the Yankees at this time of year, and sure enough a flood appeared yesterday in nearby Washington Heights just hours before the first pitch. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FISH MUST BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY REMARKABLY, the Marlins have reached the World Series lying almost as low as Steve Bart man. While they were completing a comeback for the ages, especially impressive at their relatively young ages, their uniforms might as well have said "Visitors" during Games 6 and 7 for all the attention they received in collapsing the Cubs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STUPIDITY EXTENDS RIGHT TO CITY HALL EQUAL TIME THE state of statesmanship is very low. The mayors of both New York and Boston, in response to the violence-on-the-boil that three times invaded Game 3 in Boston, might have chosen to travel the higher road. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE ACTION IS HOT AT MONTAUK POINT ANGLERS who managed to get out between the weekend's nor'- easter and the northwest winds that reached 50 mph on Wednesday found that bottom fishing is still hot, that there are plenty of stripers around, and that time is running out on this fabulous fall run. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'ABSOLUTE CLASSIC' By PAUL O'NEILL Paul O'Neill, a five-time World Series winner, four with the Yankees, now an analyst on the YES Network's playoff coverage, will write an exclusive column for The Post throughout the Yankees postseason run. As told to Andrew Marchand. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RED SOX: THERE'S NO CURSE By MARK HALE The players all sat in front of their lockers, heads down. A bunch of them were crying. A bunch more had been crying. Some couldn't even look at each other. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TEARFUL WAKEFIELD: I'M SORRY By MARK HALE Tim Wakefield had been incredible, remarkable, the ALCS MVP if the Red Sox had won last night. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PEDRO: BLAME ME By MARK HALE Pedro Martinez got Nick Johnson to pop up, and the countdown began. Five more outs to vanquish the Yankees. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JORGE GOT LAST WORD vs. PEDRO By LENN ROBBINS The defining image of Pedro Martinez from this emotional tumult of an ALCS was the Boston ace standing on the mound at Fenway, pointing at his head and jawing at Yankees catcher Jorge Posada. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RALLY EXTENDS ROGER'S CAREER By LENN ROBBINS The walk from the Yankee Stadium pitcher's mound to the home dugout is about 100 feet. Last night it was one of the longest walks of Roger Clemens' illustrious career. But thanks to one of the greatest playoff comebacks in Yankees history, Clemens will get to pitch again. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GUTTY MOOSE UNSUNG HERO By JOEL SHERMAN Mike Mussina had to reach back to high school memories to be the hidden MVP of Game 7 last night. That was the last time, if his memory was correct, that he had pitched in relief. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JUST CALL DEREK MR. POSTSEASON By LENN ROBBINS Mr. October. Sir Clutch. Captain. Derek Jeter continues to turn post-season play into his personal gentleman's club. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RIVERA MO'S 'EM DOWN By LENN ROBBINS After Mike Mussina stopped the bleeding in Game 7 of the ALCS with a dazzling relief performance and the Yankees rallied for an overwhelming 6-5 win over the Red Sox in 11 innings, the Moose had enough of relieving. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DROPPED JASON BUSTS OUT By LENN ROBBINS Sports is littered with great athletes who've had wonderful careers but never got to wear a championship ring. Last night Jason Giambi did his part to get out of that dubious crowd. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YANKS WARY OF MARLINS By MARK HALE Bring on the Marlins. After knocking off the resilient Red Sox, their nemesis for years, the Yankees now have to battle the Marlins, who have been in existence for 11 years. Not exactly the same history. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOMBERS ARE FISHIN' FOR GAME 1 STARTER By GEORGE KING ALCS NOTEBOOK So who starts Game 1 of the World Series tomorrow night against the upstart Marlins at Yankee Stadium? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FIGHTIN' FISH ARE FOR REEL By MICHAEL MORRISSEY They aren't destiny's darlings, but rather destiny's Dead End Kids. They just destroyed the third-largest city in the country, at least emotionally, and they're ready for bigger game. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
