The Passion of the Red Sox

Curt Schilling says God helped him win Game 6, but it was Jesus who won Game 7:



The Yankees-Red Sox game wasn’t close, but it was exciting. I still can’t believe the Red Sox came back from loosing the first three games of the series to beat the Yankees, in Yankee Stadium! Johnny Damon (pictured above) hit two homeruns, one of them a grand slam. The Yankees couldn’t do anything right. All of Steinbrenner’s off-season signings failed to come through (unless you count Kenny Lofton going 1 for 3 with an RBI). The two big starting pitchers he signed gave up 8 runs. A-Rod and Gary Sheffield went 0 for 8. Oh, it was a joyous day in Mudville for the mighty Yankees had struck out. Now the Red Sox go to the World Series for the first time since 1986.

The Astros-Cardinals game was also outstanding. It was a back-and-forth battle and the Astros tied it in the 9th inning to send it to extra innings, but the Cardinals won with, you guessed it, a walk-off homerun. I hope the Astros win tonight. Then I hope they loose to the Red Sox…in seven games.
