Oh. My. God.

I might lose my voice tomorrow, my throat is so sore. I was crying and screaming so hard I missed most of the immediate post-game reaction from the team. Now the MLB.com store isn't acceping my checkout request for the cap and the T-shirt, and I expect that it's because ALL OF US ARE TRYING TO BUY THEM AS WELL.

I'm glad I managed to see this. I want to scream and run through the streets of Athens, GA, but it's all quiet outside and I'd probably get arrested. So I'll just scream inside my room with you guys.

So many things about this season... the 101st anniversary of the Series... the win over the Yankees from 3 games down... the highest scoring opening game in history... the night of the lunar eclipse... Eighty-sixing the curse...

If you wrote this as a movie, it would be too corny and nobody would believe it.

And as adamselzer put it, somewhere in Boston, a piano floats to the surface of the water.

Current Personal Soundtrack

( Hell froze over today... )

New verse...

They found that there were hobbits at the dawn of time
The IRA'd be splitting up if things went fine
The Earth eclipsed the Moon while the World Series game was run
And the Red Sox played the Cardinals... and won!

Hell froze over today
And I made good on several debts I never thought I'd have to pay
The presidential candidates both called each other "dearie"
Someone proved conclusively the single bullet theory
...was wrong

So, as a pre-emptive gesture...

Will I be ranting about politics and Democratic screw-ups if John Kerry wins?

Of course I will, if his administration deserves it.
