unfortunately the red sox season came to a close tonight - just 4 wins short (5 if you count tonight) of a 3rd world series championship in the last 5 seasons.
rather than being crushed, instead i basked in the healthy glow of the 2 championships we do have in my lifetime and the never-say-die attitude that this team showed us the whole year.
game 5 was sureal....once in a lifetime...something i will always think about with a huge smile on my face (not unlike THE game 7 in 2004). :: smile ::
while i'm saddened at the loss of my favorite baseball team just short of the prize - i also realize that April is a long way away.
so - Papi, Youk, Pedie, Beck, Les, Paps and all the other Red Sox, thank you for 2008.
i've already begun counting down to April 2009.
....and now it's the Phillies and Rays for the World Series title.
the sound you just heard is Fox executives leaping from the nearest tall building.
