In an Effort to Play Tonight's Game Without an Ego

Tonight the Red Sox are back home at Fenway for a three game series against the Yankees. They're ahead of the Yanks by a game and a half in the division. When playing the team you're on top of we all know it’s a good chance to lose ground fast or break away in a hurry. But we're riding high until the first pitch tonight. The Olde Towne Team will still be on top of the leader board out in left field for the rest of the day, guaranteed. And, we still feel like we've got the world champs, even if it's been a whole season. In order to take tonight's game and the next few in the series without a severe (and crippling) strut we're going to look back at Game 6. Yes the infamous Game 6 – played in it's entirety on RBI-Baseball for the NES. Sure it's when we fell to the Mets, but it'll help keep our ego in check as we watch the Red Sox take the field against the Yankees.

Before you write in: yes. We know you could have been playing on your NES in 1986 but RBI Baseball didn't hit the store shelves until 1988. So be it. Yankees Suck.
