Ladies and gentlemen, news reports indicate that Hell has officially frozen over. Yankee fans need not worry. The complex reserved for them in Hades was not affected by the ice, according to the complex's owner George Steinbrenner.
Posting here will be suspended for Thursday as I seek treatment for the several heart attacks I had during Wednesday's World Series Game 4, for the after-effects of several innings without breathing and for the condition of hyper-euphoria attained following said game.
Boston Red Sox, Major League Baseball Champions: 1912, 1915, 1916, 1918 and 2004.
OH MY [CURSES DELETED]: WE FINALLY WON. AHHHH!!!!!!!

Congratulations! I had a house full of Red Sox Nation last night since the "we don't watch tv" folks decided that this was something that they could not miss. I'm happy for everybody, watching Pedro and Manny celebrate was a treat. My wife started crying at the end thinking about how much this would have meant to her grandfather.
I had an 'oil can' of Foster's during the evening as a tribute to my favorite Red Sox player, Oil Can Boyd. The Can should have gotten the start in Game 7 back in 1986 and when he went to the Expos, I went with him. Now it has come full circle, the Expos are gone and the ghosts of 1986 and all of the other disappointments have been exorcised.
I especially liked this: "This is such an emotional lift for people in New England and all over the world," Boston general manager Theo Epstein said "I hope they enjoy it. I hope they do something good with it. I hope they go vote Tuesday and make the world a better place."
Congrats again, your team deserved it.
