But, it was also a quote taken out of context and definitely not all Garko. After the ALDS, Garko was quoted as saying, "champagne tastes just as good on the road as at home." A writer for some podunk Ohio newspaper (Elyria I believe) decided to put that into an article that the Red Sox organization then attributed completely to Garko. Unfortunate flak for Garko, and a smart but somewhat shady move by the Red Sox. Geof-

No way to know how the game would be different if the correct call is made, though. That said, I felt like the Sox would win right after Game 5 ended. The stuff in the media before Game 6 from Gark and the like seemed like false bravado to me, like they had to say it so that they'd believe it. Maybe they really felt it; just didn't seem that way to me. Stinks, though. You see them push and push and just fall short, and there's not anything that you can do about it. I sorta vaguely remember what that's like, even though it's been 1995 since the Reds made an LCS. Oh, he was absolutely safe.
