Game Four. The end of the line for the Rockies, the confirmation of a whole new era for the Red Sox. Before the fireworks and festivities, FOX showed this pregame montage setting up Game 4, set to the tune of "Elevation" by U2. Not only is the montage cool, but there's a palpable undercurrent of anticipation running through it- you can almost hear the death knoll for the Rockies in the Edge's guitar riffs.

You know what's coming next-- the best part of the postgame celebrations, bar none. Mike Timlin grabs Tim Wakefield for a celebratory hug, and ends up sharing an unguarded (and dare I say... tender?) moment on camera that you don't often see between two manly men, especially in the world of sports.

And one final montage to close things out - I love NESN because they put stuff like this out there for us. Can't wait to see their 2007 DVD!

First of all, thank you for posting all this stuff today--I've been working on a paper the whole day (afdasagndsgksdjgls) and these were nice breaks.
And especially thank you for posting the Timlin and Wakefield thing. I love NESN for showing stuff like that. It's so sweet. Aww, Wakefield.
