AT LAST
Turn your clocks back to 1918! The Boston Red Sox are the champions of baseball!
After an improbable comeback against the Yankees, my beloved BoSox kept their intensity up and completely shut down the power-hitting Cardinals. I have to admit that I'm even okay with losing to the Yankees in heart-breaking fashion last year because it was that absolute "low" that allows me truly celebrate and enjoy this "high" tonight. 86 long years of tears and futility is finally over. The curse is no more.
Props to Curt Schilling for his profession of faith and his grit on the mound. And to Manny, Ortiz, Cabrera, Pedro, Varitek, Millar, Mueller, Damon (how can you lose when you have a guy who looks like Jesus on your team?), Bellhorn, Foulke, Lowe, all the guys. This was truly a team effort and that's what makes me so proud of these guys, these self-professed idiots. Well, if this is what ignorance is, then tonight, ignorance is truly bliss.
Bill Buckner, sleep well tonight.

What a wild year for Boston. Congratulations to everyone!
You know, getting by the Yanks was really what it was all about. The Angels and Cardinals never had a chance.
Not to oversimplify things too much but despite all the offseason moves (Shilling, ARod, etc.) and all the drama, it all boils down to one point.
The big difference that allowed Boston to finally beat New York is that Mariano Rivera is human after all.
Thank goodness.
