The Red Sox were tipsy through their Championship run. Bring the Offense by my tailgate and we can jump this thing off and hang 75 points on Bama... Millar reveals Red Sox did shots before games The Red Sox are still savoring their first World Series championship in 86 years, but one Boston player revealed the team didn't save the drinking for the celebratory champagne. Appearing on Fox Sports Net's Best Damn Sports Show Period, Kevin Millar said the team did shots of Jack Daniels before Games 6 and 7 of the ALCS against the Yankees. And then after winning those games, continued the practice in the World Series for good luck. "Before starting Game 6 (of the ALCS). It was about 35 degrees out there at Yankee Stadium," Millar said. "I went around and got a thing of Jack Daniels and we all did shots of Jack Daniels about 10 minutes before the game. And we won Game 6. So Game 7 of course, we had to do shots of Jack Daniels. And we won Game 7, so guess what? I'm glad we won in Game 4 (in the World Series) because these Crown Royal shots and Jack Daniels shots started to kill me. And that's how the Sox did it. "Can you imagine (manager) Terry Francona taking a shot of Crown Royal before Game 4 of the World Series? It's out there now, baby — we were drunk." The Red Sox credited their incredible team chemistry for helping end the team's fabled "curse." And the team affectionately referred to itself as a bunch of "idiots" as they made their postseason run. And asked if the drinking made anyone "loopy," Millar said you could tell it had an effect on some of the players. "Trot Nixon was (loopy)," Millar said. "He swung 3-0 and had a take sign with bases loaded and hit the ball off the wall. He was supposed to take that pitch."
I thought your idea was going to be more along the lines of spread offense 4 recievers and a lone tail back... but shots are cool to, can you imagine Randall playing drunk....
I'm drinking all day and it doesn't seem to affect the team at all, although many times I feel the affects Sunday morning.
When I played basketball in high school, we would drive around before the game drinking anything we could get our hands on. :shock: I don't know if that was the reason we won 70 consecutive games and 2 state championships, but it certainly didn't hurt!
