If the Sox can do it, how about Cornell?

To paraphrase one of my favorite films, the miracle was made complete tonight.  Congratulations Red Sox!

OK, now the Sox *have* beaten our equivalent of Harvard, BU, UNH, Maine and Colorado College and gone on to win the finals also.

I'm hoping when Cornell does win it all in the, what, 2006 Frozen Four, our guys don't spend their first victorious minutes on-air praising the Big Guy Upstairs for coming to their aid. Like God roots for the Red Sox Nation and against the Cardinals.

Also interesting to see the satellite-cam shots of cheering troops in Iraq being labeled "multinational forces." Thank you, Fox for pushing politics into sports. Like the eighty Brits and four Ozzies posted there, assuming they were actually in the pictures, give a rap about baseball.

I watched the last twelve outs in a hotel bar in downtown LA and at game's end one of the Red Sox fans jumped in the Westin's reflecting pool. The assistant manager comes running out and says that's not acceptable practice. Sheesh. The rest of the bar, even the neutral observers (not many) said the guy's entitled after 86 years.

If there were St. Louis fans in California this week, they kept to themselves.

As the first horseman of the apocalypse rides, the Red Sox still suck.

Great postseason run; I'm having a hard time believing all of it. What a fun team this edition of the Red Sox was to watch. Too bad the Cardinals looked so bad in the World Series; I actually like the Cards quite a bit. It's difficult to dislike their players. They'll be good next year too though, and I'm sure the Yankees will be back as well. Speaking of the Yankees, I'm sorry, but I just HAVE to post this -

That was on Sept. 16, about 2 weeks before the end of the regular season. I'm all about being gracious after winning and all, but really, how childish is that column? Think he needs some help wiping the egg off his face?

An excerpt:

You're confident of your post-season chances even if you are the wild-card? Maybe in the first round against [Minnesota], but when's the last time you beat the Yanks in the post-season when they had home-field advantage? That's what I thought.

Bottom line Boston fans, no matter what the experts say, when it's time for the playoffs, there is no getting past the Bronx.

Seems about as childish as Mike Volonnino's infamous "Cornell sucks" article, and with about the same degree of relevance to the sports section as well.  I'm not suggesting we spambomb Chris Mascaro, the author of this article, but I am suggesting that perhaps he needs to change his rhetoric a bit, or perhaps the editors need to watch their sports columnists more closely.

It's over.  The Red Sox actually did it.  I don't know what to say, except...

Let's Go Red!!!
