Game Heaven
We Believe! Lordy, do we believe. The Red Sox did what everybody assumed was impossible - come back 0-3, beat the most storied and most expensive team in the game, do it at their home, and erase all the lingering snide comments about never winning in the end. Of all the Red Sox failures, this Red Sox victory trumps them all. Last year, the Sox were five outs away. This year the Yankees were three outs, but with three more games in reserve, just in case. The thing is, even if the Yankees had won last night, the Red Sox comeback was legendary and inspiring, and the Yankees would still have been left with a bad taste in their mouths.
The World Series. That's right: the World Series begins at Fenway Park Saturday night (thanks to Joe Torre and the entire All-Star Yankee cast winning the All-Star game and giving the American League home field advantage). By the way, Francona will be coaching that game next July, and picking the non-starting players.
They did it. They Yanked the Yanks!
Enjoy it Red Sox Nation. It is well deserved. It was historic. It was inspiring. It is coming out in a book by Stephen King called Faithful in December. We Still Believe!
