As a crazy pirate fan, I can’t believe I was at this game, driving from o columbus and back, and remember- so surreal to beat Avery and I’m hearing the great commentary of one of my favorite games ever for the first time. Thank you technology.
Ironic how the '91 series between these two was a classic with 4 of the 7 games decided by one run, but the Game 7 lacked drama. And then there was this series in '92 where 4 of the 7 games were blowouts like this one, but had an all-time classic Game 7.
I was there for this one, and I can tell you that Three Rivers was shaking when Bonds hit that first inning double. And, for anyone who was wondering, every Pirate fan knew that this playoff was the end of the line for this group of players. I think that's why when it ended with Cabrera in Game 7 it hurt even more...
Rained all day and let up just in time for the game.. I attended this game I was a senior at Penn hills high school outside of Pittsburgh I was a great night
great game of Walk full launch. Wakefield won 2 games the pirates were returning to the series. Drabeck threw a great game, everything pointed to a world series against Toronto but in the ninth inning, Jose Lind's error sank the Pirates' ship
The most exciting Championship series of all time. Braves and Pirates had just repeated in their respective divisions. The Pirates started as favorites and had a series of players with the talent to be World Series champions. Led by Barry Bonds Andy Van Slike, Orlando Merced, Cecil Spi, Jay Bell, the Lind boy. But they did not hit in the entire series, they were handcuffed by the Braves' poker of aces. John Smolz, Steve Avery, Tom Glavine and Chalie Librand would later be joined by surgeon Gregg Maddux from the Chicago Cubs. In the seventh game, Doug Drabek threw a jewel of a pitch, entering the 9th, not winning 2 x 0 against the Braves, but a very costly error by José Lind at second base in a routine play opened the gap for the Braves reaction, who with a golden hit by pinch-hitter Francisco Cabrera left the Pirates on the field Andy Van Slike from center field almost put out Sid Bream at the plate who seemed like he would never arrive, he was a slow runner Bobbi Cox should have replaced him that detail could have change history. It should be noted that the atmosphere in the Braves was very exciting, the fans' axes beating the indigenous drums, the chemistry of that team was unique. On the side of the Pirates led by the great strategist Jin Leyland, they had a very good rotation team with Drabek, Wagner, Bob Wak, Zane Smitt, John Smily, The knuckleballer Tim Wakfield who drove the entire Braves slugger crazy with that pitch As a butterfly, he won 2 duels, game 3 and game six. The frustration on Van Slike's face, sitting as the outfielder, like the rest of the team, couldn't believe it. The other side of the coin. Explosion of joy from the Atlanta Braves, the stadium collapsed. Fun fact Drabek at that time was the first pitcher to lose 3 games in a championship series. The offensive heart of the Pirates in both editions 91 and 92 did not hit and yet they played 7 games in both editions. The last great Pirates Team Word and the birth of a Braves dynasty
I believe this was the game where Tim McCarver criticized Deion Sanders for playing a football game in Miami earlier in the day and than flying up to Pittsburgh after the game to be with the Braves baseball team. Than after Game 7 in this series when Tim McCarver was doing interviews in the Braves clubhouse Deion Sanders dumped icy water on him for those comments.
Matthew Cole Sanders overreacted, no question and what he did was classless. That being said, McCarver probably should have realized that those kinds of things are addressed in contracts.
It must have been satisfying to knock Avery out early after doing nothing against him the year before. They would bludgeon Glavine even worse in Game 6. Unfortunately, in Game 7 ...

Actually drove from Dayton and back myself as a crazy college student!
That’s cool. What was it like to see Barry back then? He seemed pretty awesome.
1991 and 1992 were the greatest LCS' ever played. So many heroes in those 14 Games over 2 Seasons.

Best game Walkie ever pitched!! Its as enjoyable to watch as it was on that Sunday night back in 1992. Wow!
I was at that game and it really came down to that first inning with David Justice at bat

I went to bed in tears after game 7…was in 5th grade i believe. I was so damn mad that they had blown that lead

24:29 “A smile is just a frown turned upside down”...expert analysis from Tim McCarver 😂

Several bad factors came into play all at once they lost it not just on his airline
I kinda miss 90s playoff baseball

Little did the Pirates fans that day realise is that they were watching the last postseason baseball in Pittsburgh for over 20 years
Came back with a bang in 2013. Pretty much a whimper since then.
The NL Central needs to be a 5 team battle. Its a shame the Pirates are so bad.
1992 was the year that Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus was born
The Bob Walk game.
two year rivalry of the Braves and Pirates
And to think the only Pirate still in the game from the days at Three Rivers is none other than Aramis Ramirez. Oh the memories.

Matthew Cole - they talk about it some around the 1:14:30 mark...there may be other times but don't recall
Deion is a big baby.

One word: *"SELFISH"*

Hard to believe the Pirates were good once. Hopefully things will turn up... Eventually...
TBrizzle01 bob nutting wants to lose and not spend he is not it in to make money for himself. Fuck him.
