Unbelievable.

I’m not a Red Sox fan. I don’t even care that much about baseball. But I know that I dislike the Yankees (and before you accuse me of being a bandwagon jumper, I’ve always disliked them…they have too much money, they have Steinbrenner and they act awfully high and mighty for a team that hasn’t won the series in several years). So watching them win this series, coming back from a 3-0 deficit to beat the team they hate the most, the team behind the curse, (which has never been done before)…well, it was amazing. I watched Ortiz hit the home run in game 4 to keep them alive. I saw him drive in the winning run in game 5 to make it close. I saw some of game 6, where Curt Schilling went all “The Natural” on us and pitched a spectacular game on an ankle so badly damaged that it was bleeding through his sock, and where A-Rod tried to karate chop his way to first base. And I saw them crush the Yankees last night, in front of the home crowd.

I’d have to say that even if the Sox lose the series, they’ll still revel in the memories of the win over the Yankees (despite cries of the curse living on). Many are calling this the greatest series ever played. I’m no baseball historian but I think you’d be hard pressed to make an argument against that. I’m pulling for them to win it all, if for not other reason than that I never want to hear Bill Buckner’s name again.

Oh, and lest you forget, Jim Edmonds cranked a home run in the bottom of the 12th last night to force game 7 in the NLCS. That goes tonight.
