it is emotional... i mean, 46 years since the team has even gotten this far (of course, the playoff scene is a lot harder to get through nowadays), and 88 years since they went all the way. if the sox do succeed at that, we will know what boston felt like last year.
There were fireworks going off in my neighborhood after the last out. My wife, who's been a big Sox fan all her life, was a nervous wreck through the whole game, and now she's just on cloud nine.
