Evelyn and I were in attendance at Busch Stadium when Joaquin Andujar hit a grand slam! What a fun player he was!

And what is the greatest Andujar quote you might ask? It goes something like this:

"You have to drink beer while you are here on earth, because you don\'t know, there might not be any beer in heaven"
"Anyone who knows a god damn thing about this band and has been there as long as some of us have, know god damn well that this show was something special." Ren re: Toads 8/23/07

You know it\'s not your Series when you let Pedro battle back from an 0-2 count and force a walk. And an all-time showing on the mound too. And he has as many hits as Rolen does for the Series.

Congratulations to the Boston Red Sox for winning the 2004 World Series, marking their first Major League Baseball Championship since 1918 and their sixth overall. They were the best team and proved it.

this quote is a version of a old polka classic called "in heaven there is no beer". It was recorded by yankovinc (wiers al\'s dad) amongst others.

the chorus:
in heaven, there is no beer.
thats why we drink it here.
and when we\'re gone from here,
our friends will be drinking all the beer.

Try as he might, not even the witty ChrisPitch could reverse the reverse of the curse.

Of course, I don\'t literally believe in curses or superstitions (nor do I ask Santa Claus to bring me presents). But at this point, I have nothing left to say except those sort of false proclamations.

So again, here\'s to the World Series Champion Boston Red Stockings.

it\'s 11:40 pm EST.  The Red Sox have just won the World Series.  The first since 1918.

Congrats.
After speaking with you, I\'ve realized how much dumber I\'ve become.

I\'m not thrilled about it, don\'t get me wrong, but they did work hard for it.

I still can\'t believe they won.  I suppose I will attend the victory parade outside my building on Friday.

Congrats to the bosox. Here\'s to another 86 yr drought and I can not wait to hear the pathetic excuses fans come up w/ from here on when boston fields a team that blows chunks @ the end of the year seeing as how they can\'t use that curse B.S. anymore. Finally bosox fans will have to realize their team sux and can not blame a curse. They did have a pretty amazin\' 8 games enjoy it while u can bosox fans.......

You never quit, do you?

Though I do find it funny that for years the majority of Boston fans have always said that "there is no curse".  Now that we can say "the curse is over", I haven\'t heard one Sox fan revert back to the ol\' "there is no curse" argument.

How about that? After 86 years, this time the World Series championship baseball is firmly in the grip of the Red Sox and for Boston fans the sweetest of possible words are these:


"The Boston Red Sox haven\'t won the World Series since 11:40 p.m. EDT last night."

"i heard that after he crossed the finish line he proceeded to wrestle down and pin a full sized grizzly bear"- ds673488

"if i listened to the distance on repeat, i\'d be wearing yellow jerseys like a motherfucker" - zuke
