Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that the press is really pumping this series up with all the records, first timers, etc? I just spent my lunch break reading some articles on boston.com and its everywhere. The record set for highest number of errors in a World series game, first time a MLB team has made a comeback from 0-3 to win the series, highest scoring world series game with game one, and my favorite: apparently for game 4 there will be a red lunar eclipse and suprise! first World Series game to have a lunar eclipse, the list goes on and on. Either this series is really special or someone's jerking our chains.

But not for me! I love this!

I'd say that it's a pretty unique series. The fact that the Sox came back from a 3-0 deficit is historic...first time it's ever happened in MLB, and to be against the Yankees made it even more dramatic. The number of errors is significant because, well, who would guess that a team would go up 2-0 while making 8 errors in the first two games? High scoring - it's a sign of the times no doubt, but slugfests such as those are unique in series play.
As for the eclipse thing...something must be going on in the cosmos if the Sox are on the brink of clinching their first World Series title in 86 years.
Pedro pitched a hell of a game last night...and as much as I hate to say it (it makes me ill to say it, in fact), it looks like it's the Sox year.

If you live in Boston... board up your windows and batten down the hatches... 'cause the drunken debauchery in Baahston is gonna be of titanic proportions should the Bosux finally win tonight!

Seriously...this is one of those times I wish I still lived right in the city, and not out in the (relative) burbs. It should get interesting in Kenmore Square tonight should they win. The parties after the Pats won were great, but those were just a warm up for how things would be this time.
I won't get the day off...but I figure most of the city would shut down.

We already knew that when Manny was playing for the Indians.

I just found a Boston Irish pub down in Santa Monica Sonny Mclean's ! I want to go so bad tonight but I have class. If I don't make it there at some point during the rest of this series, I'm going to have to go another time and drag BobbyTheDon with me.
Check out the shirts they make! Too cute.

It's so well-known that I'm a Yankees fan that I'd never get away with taking the day off. They'd make me work anyways I think.

You know, I can't decide if I'd rather be in Boston or St. Louis right now. Oh well, I have to settle for New York.
GO SOX! Only a few more innings.
