Sox Boozed it up Prior to Playoff Games

You can't always believe what you hear especially when it comes from Kevin Millar's mouth, but in a turn of events thats reminisant of the Patriots doing blow prior to the super bowl in 1986 Millar told "The Best Damn Sports Show" that he and his team mates did shots of Jack Daniels prior to games in the playoffs.

Before starting Game 6 (of the ALCS). It was about 35 degrees out there at Yankee Stadium, 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."

Millar said on Friday's Fox late night sports show.

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."

He later realized it wasn't exactly the smartest thing to say and said this to Pedro Gammons.

I wish I'd never opened my mouth," he told ESPN's Peter Gammons. "It was one of those group team things, like shaving our heads last year. What we had was one small Gatorade cup, with a little Jack Daniels in it. We passed it around and everyone symbolically drank out of the same cup, because we are a team. It wasn't as if guys were drunk."
