Liam Kerr (The Welcome Party) joins host Thomas Emerick for some early-aughts Boston angst — and rebirth. It’s October 2004. The Red Sox are down 0-2 in the ALCS. Game 3 at Fenway turns into a historic beating—and somehow, the start of everything. We talk baseball, politics, and comebacks from the edge.

2004 ALCS Game 3 Final Score: New York Yankees 19, Boston Red Sox 8

• NYY takes 3-0 series lead in American League Championship Series
• BOS now needs to win four straight to reach the World Series
• Game stats via Pro Baseball Reference

Episode threads:

• How the weight of Red Sox history—from Ruth to Buckner to Boone—hung over every fan in 2004.
• The 2004 ALCS offseason shakeups: Nomar out, A-Rod almost in, and what that meant.
• The Varitek vs. A-Rod brawl and how it defined the season’s edge and rivalry tone.
• Boston’s midseason slump and rebound: 55% playoff odds at one point, 64% the rest of the way.
• Game 3 unravels fast—Yankees drop 19 runs behind A-Rod, Sheffield, Matsui, and Bernie Williams.
• Coping mechanisms as Sox fans watched one of the worst home losses in franchise history.
• Where Liam watched Game 3, and how that night felt personally and politically.
• Parallels between Red Sox down 3-0 and Democrats down three branches of government.
• What Boston’s "Idiots" mentality says about staying loose under pressure—"Don’t let us win tonight."
• Kevin Millar’s walk, Dave Roberts’ steal, Bill Mueller’s hit—the spark of the comeback.
• How Theo Epstein and Billy Beane saw value in overlooked talent like Millar.
• The Red Sox win two Ortiz walk-offs in one calendar day—belief starts to return.
