Redemption
We win! It was sweet redemption for a collapse in 2011. It was sweet redemption for a torturous 2012 under Bobby Valentine. And I personally believe that the Boston Marathon bombings made this team even more focused on their mission to bring winning baseball back to Boston. Mission accomplished! Last night's heroes include Shane Victorino, John Lackey, Koji Uehara, Stephen Drew. This playoff run has featured big performances from several different players, none bigger to me than Jon Lester & David Ortiz. Big Papi is very deserving of the MVP award. But this was a team effort & this season reflects a deep roster, deep bench & good young talent. Congrats to the 2013 Boston Red Sox! You played the game right & had fun doing it. Fear the beards!!

Other than a nervous 7th inning, it was in the bag. Nice that no one was badly hurt or killed in the celebrating afterward. Nice that Mumble Menino gets his World Series "Cup" in his final term. Nice that Lackey seems to have at least come to terms with his past treatment by Red Sox Nation. Sad to see Ells finish his last game as a Red Sox. Sad to hear media outside of the Boston area questioning Papi's assurance that he has been clean of steroids. Overall, Great to be tired from being up late watching yet another championship for Boston. In the last 10 years, 3 for the Sox, 3 for the Pats, 1 for the B's, & 1 for the Celts; not to mention other appearances in their respective finals. What a great time to be a Boston fan!!!!!
