boston red sox win 2007 american league pennant

Down three games to one? No problem!

It looks like you all will have a few more posts to skip, because the Boston Red Sox are going to the World Series!

What a night, what a week, what a team.

I can't say it was "incredible," because I believed it with all my heart, every pitch, every game, every moment of this great season.

To the naysayers out there, to the gloom-and-doomers, to everyone scared of the supposedly mighty Yankees who chased us all year, to those who said Allan and I would create bad karma by being too happy, to the fans who believe in ghosts and goblins and curses, I would like to say:

I TOLD YOU SO


I've been waiting to do that for months!

I got a congratulatory email from M@ this morning, and friend of wmtc M Yass showed up in our game thread last night, so maybe some of you have caught the fever, or at least a sneeze.

The World Series starts Wednesday. It's Mason's nightmare: his Rox vs his Sox.

:) Very happy to see them win. I wasn't watching straight through but it did get very tense in the first few innings. Very exciting win in the end though.

Best of luck to the Sox (and, more importantly, their fans!) in the World Series. Looks like an exciting one coming up.

It was very tense and exciting for a while, then we got some breathing room - then blew it open.

It's going to be a very exciting World Series. Thanks for your good wishes!

Laura -- seen this article from Slate? about how Manny was right and everyone else was wrong?

If not, I venture to suggest you'll enjoy it...

Yep, I sure was along. Even though I'm not normally much of a baseball fan, I was rooting for the Sox all the way.

The Spiders got the crap kicked out of them, didn't they? Very telling is how well we played even after pulling Dice-K, eh?

Thanks all! M@, thanks for the article, it looks great.

OMG, M@, that story is amazing. It is the centerpiece of our whole post season. Thank you so much for pointing it out to me!
