I think that I am the luckiest guy ever. I am still pinching myself. My Blackberry service sucked at Fenway and the battery went dead after my one and only gamethread post. I was visiting my brother in Florida during the ALCS. I was there for the ALCS clincher. The next day I got a text from a good friend asking me if I wanted to go to game 6 of the World Series. I thought he was joking. He has a business associate in Boston that offered him tickets to game 1 or 2, but my friend couldn't make those games. With that, the guy told him that he could have game 6 tickets if it went that far. We had Pavilion seats. It was an unbelievable night capping an unbelievable season. When we won game 4, I was so psyched because there would be a game 6. When we won game 5, I was going out of my mind thinking that I w=could see them win the championship. I wasn't counting my chickens about getting the tickets especially when the prices skyrocketed. I thougt a bigger customer might ask for the tickets or that something else would go wrong. It didn't set in for me until we picked up the tix at a bar in Dorchester at 4pm. The city was in lock down so I drove to my daughter's place in Somerville, parked there and took the T to the game. This was the first season since 1976 that I didn't get to Fenway for a regular season game due various work and personal reasons. Last night was my first and only game this season other than Spring training. Boy did I get lucky!! After we scored the 3 runs on the Victorino hit and Bogaerts lined out to end the inning, I told my friend that I thught Wacha was going to be toast the next inning. I told him that the litmus test would be if Drew got a hit against him, and then bomb-a-rooski!!! Lol!!! My son is almost as lucky as me. Yesterday was his birthday. In 2004 we were at the parade on his birthday. He has a great birthday!! Great season!! Great night!! Soak it all in!! Enjoy it. I am still pinching myself. BTW, every law enforcement officer in New England must have have been around Fenway and Back Bay. Thousands of cops in riot gear all over.

At the game mojo!! Come on rally. Bogaerts should have bunted.

We are on the same page on this^. LOL!

I made a ton of money in 2009 betting on the Yankees. They were 3-1 odds for about 1 day to win the ALCS. I took the odds, but I couldn't bet them to win it all. My Samsung HDTV was purchased with those proceeds. It's very hard for me to bet against the Sox. From a superstitious standpoint, if I thought betting against them would help them win, I'd bet against them in a nano-second. That would just be silly--- unless it worked.

He gets a day of rest. He probably needs it.

3 outs!!! 3 games to 2 coming back to Boston!!!

2 down. One more to go!!!

One down!!! Let's go get 2 more.

Yep!

This is Koji time. Come on. Do it one more time!

4/$72 million at a minimum.

Yes, and I think that we have to extend him.

Koji is the pitching equivalent of Big Papi. Big Papisan!!

Lester was tremendous tonight.

Just get fatty to hit a grounder if you can't k him.

He's bringing in a righty to pitch to the left handed power hitter? I am not crazy about this.

Two outs.

Okay Jon, get this bum.

1 out.

Another base hit for Ortiz. Unbelievable.

Don't we all.

If Lester pitches a clean 8th after this, I may have to pummel Farrell into a coma if he takes him out to start the 9th.

Two outs. Lester is on a roll. 75 pitches.

Vanessa Del Rio.

One out. Big!!
