AT LAST!

Wednesday, October 27th, 2004

The headline at the Boston Globe says it all:

Boston-At-Last

THREE MORE OUTS

Wednesday, October 27th, 2004

Coming 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, 2004

This 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

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!

In 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…
