My grandmother, a Red Sox fan until the end, lived a long and full life and never saw a Red Sox team crowned World Series Champion. She died in June of 2004 and never got to see The Idiots conquer the Yankees and sweep aside the Cardinals.
She's definitely on my mind tonight.
So's my grandfather. He's lived to see two Red Sox Champions.
So have I!
It's a wonderful feeling and it never gets old. '04 was a different sort of ride, but I got the goosebumps and the shit eating grin all over again tonight.
It's a great feeling.
I know being a member of Red Sox Nation today doesn't mean the same thing it did in '03 or '04 (or before that for that matter) but I don't give a fuck. Haters can hate all they want.

The Red Sox are World Series Champs again!

Time for Manny to hit the strip club.

**UPDATE** Like Ghostface, I just want to celebrate.

And you too, Fox.
It's the 8th inning of the fourth game of the World Series and you announce that Purple Lips is filing for free agency now?
The Red Sox are six outs away from their second World Series in four years.
The offseason hasn't even started yet!
What's next? An update on Kobe's trade demand?
This is a new low.

**UPDATE** Go get 'em Petey!

Enjoy that flight home Cleveland.
We have some excellent parting gifts for you.
Thanks for playing.

I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't a nervous wreck tonight. This thing turned into a laugher at the end but those double plays in the first few innings were driving me crazy! Dustin Pedroia was already a fave in casa de leafblower, so it was all smiles tonight.

I'm so glad they gave the MVP to Commander Kick Ass. Without him this series would have been over real quick like. Youk played great too.

Chris Meyers says Beckett will start Game 1. Bring it!

World Series!

PS - Awesome.

Because, as everyone knows, Josh Beckett is fueled by testosterone, Coors Light, and the blood of his victims.

The Cleveland Indians are now two games away from elimination.

"Remember the days when the 2007 Red Sox bled pitch counts? They ended about three days ago without any real explanation. I don't get it. I continue to be mystified by this sudden collapse-in-progress, as well as the manager's abject unwillingness to shake things up in any way."

I know it's not fashionable to quote The Sports Guy these days (unless he's knocking Dane Cook - BTW, this is hilarious), but he pretty much nails it here. Last night's game was muy depressing.

I should be more depressed about all of this, but
1) I think Ms. Smith has been assimilated! She was watching the game without me last night.
2) NBA season starts in 13 days and KG is going to be wearing Green! That still hasn't totally sunk in for me yet. Wow.
