Boston Herald: SOX WIN
Thursday, October 28th, 2004
AT LAST!
Wednesday, October 27th, 2004The headline at the Boston Globe says it all:
THREE MORE OUTS
Wednesday, October 27th, 2004Coming into the top of the ninth inning, Red Sox up 3-0.
THREE MORE OUTS.
I am so nervous and hyper I can hardly breathe.
GO SOX
For our Fathers
Wednesday, October 27th, 2004This week’s Time magazine has this quote from Sox Fan Tom Faria about the Red Sox’s 3-0 lead in the World Series:
If we win, people will be crying. Not just because they’re happy.
They’ll be crying for their fathers. Just for that bond.
If you understand this quote - if watching the Sox wrap up a 3-0 lead in the series last night in St. Louis brought tears to your eyes - if you were high-fiving a fellow Sox fan last night.. or, like me, sharing the game with a few hundred Red Sox faithful in Chicago (of all places), then you truly understand the heart and soul of Red Sox Nation.
I have only lived in the Boston area for six years - there will come a time when I pack up and depart for another city. But this team has sucked me in and captured my imagination like never before. I’ve seen the trials and tribulations - the ups and downs - of the last six seasons. I screamed in anger at Aaron Fucking Boone’s 11th inning home run last October - and I felt that deep pit of frustration when they Sox fell behind three games against the Yankees. But this team has come back again and again - and now they just need one more win.
There is no where I’d rather be tonight than watching this game with some fellow Sox fans - and I know when they wrap up this series - tonight, tomorrow, or this weekend, I’ll cry - and so will every true Red Sox fan that I know.
I BELIEVE. I HAVE KEPT THE FAITH.
Just. One. More. Win.
Sweet Sweet Revenge

BELIEVE
Thursday, October 21st, 2004Might I introduce you to the Boston Red Sox - the 2004 American League Champions.
World Series - OUR WORLD SERIES - begins on Saturday.
After doing the impossible in the ALCS, why not us? Why not this team? Why not this year?
CURSE THIS!

Wednesday, October 20th, 2004In his own words:
“I tried to be as tough as I could, and I did it my way and you saw what happened. I prayed and prayed, not to win, but for the strength to be able to compete.”
And compete, he did…
