OH.
MY.
GOSH.
Obviously I enjoyed last night\'s Red Sox clinching party, especially how it all went down with the fans at Fenway staying an hour and 10 minutes after the Sox won to watch the O\'s pull off a spectacular comeback against the Yankees. Thanks O\'s. It\'s nice to win the AL East, really it is. There are very, very few Sox fans wise enough and honest enough to say this though: it really doesn\'t mean a whole lot in a couple of days. It\'s a new season, and when a team loses in the playoffs, the corresponding pennant is thought of with angst for all eternity. Now, most Sox fans are nowhere near as wise and honest as I and will get up and preach about how great this is, but really, a wise Sox fan should know better than anyone that it doesn\'t matter how you get in.
Also loved the contrast last night watching Fenway and then seeing the fans at Shea. OMG. Boy was I glad I was in my shoes and not theirs last night. Blowing the NL East lead for the first time since May 8th at home w/ 2 games to go. Oof. Someone keep Pitchie away from bridges for the next few weeks. I feel bad for them. I don\'t want to see the Mets lose. F the Phillies, who cares about them?
See you next week for playoff action!
