Official Memories (Good) of 2003 Thread

[Rodanlee]

So it's September so if we want to be ready for the playoffs I think that we should take a trip down memory lane and think about the good times.... I'll start it off-

I'll say the Yankees series when Karros hit the homer after Clemens came out looking for his 300th and Prior vs. Pettite when Joe Bo picked off the Yankee's pinch runner to end the game on Sunday Night Baseball...

Aramis' 3 HR game @ Cincy in September.

Cardinals series in September.
Sosa's game winner.
Alou's ball that hit the chalk but was called foul and he and Alfonseca got ejected.
The Comeback Game when we came back from 5 or 7 down to win it.
Cubs win 4 of 5 and gain a lot of momentum.

double header sweep of the pirates for the division clincher

[Rodanlee]

that one's too easy... how about the game (I think in September) in Pittsburgh where the Cubs won 1-0 and Sammy made a diving catch w/ the bases loaded and 2 outs in the bottom of the 8th... That's when I still liked sammy

When we upset the Braves beating them 3-2 in the Divisional Series.

Yankees series, anyone? Beating Roger Clemens out of #300?

Also liked acquiring Randall Simon after the sausage incident.

I thought we got him b/f the incident... didn't he resign w/ the pirates the next year and that was when it happened?

I believe we signed him after he hit the sausage in the brewers race.

July 9th was that incident, and the deadline was later.

if i remember correctly, Wood hit bonds in the game before so i think that prior doing it just set him off, nevertheless it was awesome and the pinnacle of my liking prior...

i also believe that the patterson game winner was during todd wellemeyers big league debut where he K'd the side to save it?

[Posey H8er]

^ Yeah I think it was Wellemeyer. I thought, this kid's future is bright for us. Boy was I wrong.

[Rodanlee]

Yeah... I thought that for a lot of our prospects.

[SportsWorld]

Jason Dubois is the next big thing....
