Well, congratulations Red Sox fans, you're team did it!
As a lifelong Cardinals fan, I say congratulations. The Red Sox did put on a superb performance during the Series, out-pitching, out-hitting, and out-performing the Cardinals in every respect. Enjoy your moment, you fully deserve it. If it had been anybody else than the Cardinals playing you, I would have been rooting for the Sox right along with you(I'm a sucker for underdogs).

However, remember that statement that you folks have been repeating for over eighty years now, there is always next year, and the Cardinals will be back(and hopefully bring their game with them next time).

So again, congratulations on a fine season, and a great finish to it. You are the World Champions! Enjoy!

2. Oh, I hear you friend
The vaunted Cardinals offense collapsed, completely. And some of the decisions that LaRusa made during the Series still baffle me. The one bright light is that the Cardinals should return their team pretty much intact next year.

3. Congrats to Bill Buckner, too--you're finally off the hook!
I witnessed your moment of shame eighteen years ago--and as a lifelong Mets fan, I admit I enjoyed every millisecond of it, LOL! But now Bosox fans have something else they can talk about!

4. A graceful statement that reflects well on the Cards
Thanks for that and may it be the Cardinals in four next year. (If we can do it, you can do it)

Its nice to see the *old* teams in the series though isn't it?

6. Yes, indeed it is nice to see the *old* teams
And like many many other people across the country, I enjoyed the hell out of watching the Yankees get beat down in a historic comeback.
One of the best series in the game, ever.

10. You're welcome, and no, you cannot go to sleep
You are waaay too much fun when you're sleep deprived and hung over. So just drink some more to dull the hangover pain, and keep posting your hippo ass off:evilgrin:

9. Bill Buckner, somewhere, in a remote, undisclosed location
has come out and breathed a long sigh of relief. The Red Sox have broken the curse of the Bambino.

12. Yes, congratulations Boston fans
Now the lot of you kindly shut up. And I don't want to hear any moaning and groaning about how long it's been since the Bruins won the Stanley Cup.
