it was just 1 game they still ahd the advantage on boston that was like the 2 time coming back from 3-1 in 1986 and 2007 and in 04 coming back from 3-0
You're right. I read in the the book..."one pitch away", the Angels flight back to Boston was very quiet. I remember somehow knowing it was over...even being a game up in the series.
@Angelslover9 If you watch Baseball's Seasons-1986, you'll hear Don Sutton say the following: he spoke to Bob Boone on the flight back and Boone told him he was scared. Sutton asked why, and responded to something with the effect of that when you lose a game like that, you don't come back.

it wasn't donnie moore's fault that the angels lost the series in the 9th of game 5 angels pitching coach took out mike witt, lucas hit gedman, and the angels lost games 6 and 7 so Donnie Moore isn't the only person with the blame " You Win as A Team U Lose as a Team"
What people forget is that little Gary Pettis nearly won the AL pennant in the 10th inning of game 5, his drive to LF caught by Rice at the last moment before hitting the LF wall, or Jerry Narron would have scored the winning run a day after scoring it in game 4.
That would have been even bigger than Ozzie Smith's game winning homer in NLCS game 5 in 1985, his first ever ML homer hitting lefthanded.
At least the Angles can say the lost that game due to 5 RBI's. 4 in the 9th 1 in 11th.The Red Sox have to live with 1 RBI & 2 critical errors in the 10th. Much more of a give away and certainly burned them and their fans far worse than what they dished out to the Angles.
Damn we shoulda been AL champions in '82 and '86...idk about the Mets but the Cardinals would have been toast against us in the World Series

it makes me laugh when boston choked in game 6 not the buckner play it wasn't his fault their were other causes like:
Calvin Schiraldi couldn't get the last out
Bob Stanley threw a wild pitch or a passed ball on Rich Gedman
John McNamuran keeping Buckner in the game due to his injured legs instead of getting a fresh Stapleton
They couldn't win Game 7
