2004 World Series

Congratulations, Boston!

Nice to see that curse gone :cool:

And Fenway is still a nice park, no matter what other teams might say

Of course, I said the same about Candlestick and the Giants, so you can take that with a grain of salt, if you like ;)

The night of the Lunar Eclipse(visible down here, at least) and the Red Sox win it. The moon was orangy red...hmm...coincidence? I think not! The Sox fans were planning ahead!
Absolutely, A-M Guard. Our plan's coming to fruition. Lovecraft has Cthulhu in the South Seas, IIRC, but he was wrong. Back Bay (and a damn good chunk of Boston, for that matter) is landfill -- Great Cthulhu's ready to bust out of Boston Harbor. Just like stevelabny's said, it's the end of times (and y'all thought that was sour grapes). :p

Ia Ia Red Sox F'taghn.

Well, Well...the curse has been officially ended, Piratecat is a happy Kitten...:D

Now, we wait until next year, for who will claim the title again...

And yes, Crothian's punishment should be ended...please and no more jokes about which boxes hit best.;)

I woke my son up to watch this tonight. "Charlie, tonight, someting is going to happen that hasn't happened since before you were born. It hasn't happened since before I was born. It hasn't happened since before your grandfather was born. It hasn't even happened since before your great-grandfather was born. The Red Sox are going to win the World Series!" And they did! (unlike when my father woke me up back in 1986). And now that he back in bed, I'm going to sleep, a very , very happy Sox fan!

Heh. With 2 outs in the ninth, the alarms started going off in the back of my mind. My 79-yr.-old dad--who's watched just about every Sox game since he retired--decided for some reason to watch the game by himself in his bedroom instead of the living room as he'd done for most of the recent games. I'd caught him nodding off a few times, and it suddenly occurred to me that maybe he was about to sleep through history. I ran upstairs, knocked on the door, and went in. Sure enough, that SOB was asleep in his rocking chair!!!

He gave a little start and then stirred, asking what was going on. I told him that the Red Sox were about to win the World Series and then watched the final out with him. I'm so happy that they won the World Series in his lifetime and that I made a successful Wisdom save to realize that the old coot was about to miss a moment he'd been waiting nearly 8 decades for ;)

P.S. - As of 2 AM, the city of Boston was still standing. The rally on Friday is gonna be amazing....
 

I was 11 years old in 1986 when I learned what it meant to be a Red Sox fan. I am overjoyed...ecstatic...thrilled....and a few other words I can't come up with at the moment. My only regret is I moved out of New England for the first time in my life (not counting Europe) this summer so I couldn't watch the game in the Fens and party with the rest of the best damn city in America.
 


my father-in-law was born in Massachusetts in 1920. he was a lifelong Red Sox fan until he died 3 and half years ago. he never got to see them win the World Series.

my brother-in-law (also a Sox's fan) called us last night after the game balling like a newborn. which of course got my wife started too...


edit: oops this post was supposed to be an edit for the one above.
i used to kid my BIA and FIA about the curse of the Bambino all the time. i guess the joke is on me. (considering i worked across the street from Camden Yards in Baltimore where the Babe spent his youth)

PC is happy, but more importantly, PC's wife, who's been a Sox fan since she was old enough to watch the television and listen to the radio, is happy. KidC's 86 year old grandmother, who's been waiting for this all her life is happy. Everybody's happy.

Thank you, you crazy team of idiots, for making this possible!

Next year I'm going to take October 27th off as a religious holiday. With all the Red Sox fans at my lab, I may just get away with it.
