Hows about them Redsox 2

[chunksofpoooo]

not much to say here, except....yeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssss....

i seriously think this is a sign of the Apocalypse, but i dont care. This is awesome, 86 years and we finally get one. 3 games down to the Yankees, and we come back to take the next 8, how sweet is that?

this has been a good week

i realize there is already a thread about this, but its totally deserving of multiple threads. We should just start a whole new topic section about how they won, its that good

I endorse this thread and suggest we keep this one free of mayhem talk. We can focus on the joy, irony, relief, elation, pride, and disbelief of finally winning a championship...again.

I'm still having a tough time believing it. I keep expecting it to rain blood or something.

I've never bought into the curse. I've never met a real baseball fan (read: someone who understands and is a fan of the game rather than just the Sox) who's thought of the curse as anything but a stupid gimmic promoted and abused by the media. At the same time, I've watched the Sox come close and go into the tank by virtue of some stupid decision, twist of fate, or quirky play that my faith had been beaten down.

I will admit that when they were down 3-0 to the Yankees I thought they were done. They were getting man-handled. I knew the "could" do it because they had the talent and the drive they just hadn't showed it. But with every passing inning my faith returned. By the end of game 5 I thought they would do it.

What an amazing run. Finally I can get some sleep. October's been a tough month.
