Congratulation to the Red Sox and their fans.
My rant about how the Yankees played:
Why don't you take a few pitches before you swing? Especially with Schilling.

To my fellow Yankees fans; I guess we'll just have to wait for next year. I'll admit, I'm still REALLY upset...I was about ready to explode last night, and now I just feel tired and pissed. This is my lowest point as a Yankee fan, no question.
Congrats to the true Sox fans out there though...you're getting to go to a World Series. Nic, you going to try for Series tickets?

You guys are everything that's right about this series, and NY fans have been classy (save for a couple jokers for half an inning) - I have no doubt that next season will be more of the same. Hopefully Steinbrenner doesn't relegate Cashman to a corner cubicle and start repeating the Danny Tartabull era, because this was the best week of baseball any of us will ever see (even though, inevitably, one side had to be shattered).
Honestly, now i think i sort of 'get' how yankees fans always felt these years - I can't do anything but just smile, it's amazing not having that lingering feeling that something awful is going to happen.
The sox have often done something completely unique in baseball history - but usually it's bad. This is enough to make up for the beating in 99, the heartbreak of last year, the mailing it in at the end of 2000, and all that. To have a guy with iron balls like Schilling, to see Pedro want to take the ball in "Daddy Stadium", to see v-tek crying after the game - it's almost like it didn't happen.
It sounds really cheesey and candy-assed, but it's borderline cathartic.
On the bright side C, Shapiro and I are 'discussing' somehow making it into town during the series ('discussing' meaning 'he's telling me we're going and i have no idea how or when') . . . crazy days.
