Twenty years after he won a World Series with the Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers manager\u00a0Dave Roberts invoked his former team\u00a0in his Game 3 presser.<\/p>\n

LA is one game from sweeping the Yankees in the first World Series the two clubs have played against each other since 1981. In 2004, the Yankees were famously on the other side of a 3-0 deficit in the ALCS, and\u00a0a stolen base by Roberts in Game 4 of the series\u00a0was the start of Boston’s upswing.<\/p>\n

Just hours before Roberts began the Sox’s rally that eventually led to an ALCS and World Series win, 2004\u00a0playoff icon Kevin Millar said, “don’t let us win today.”\u00a0New York is in Boston’s position now, and Roberts recalled that moment.<\/p>\n

“From the other side, I just think that we have got to stay focused, stay urgent, I think offensively. . . we left a lot of runs out there tonight,” Roberts said. “There’s just got to be urgency. I don’t want to let these guys up for air.”<\/p>\n
