Holy Johnny Damon, the Red Sox WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!!
Q: What do you call 25 guys sitting at home watching the Red Sox win the World Series on TV?
A: The Yankees.
When the Red Sox beat the Yankees to win the real World Series, wait, I mean American League Championship, I received two phone calls congratulating me, as if I'd done something to help the Red Sox win. When I mentioned this, I was told it was for sticking with them through thick and thin and being the most die-hard (some say obsessive) Red Sox fan that most people outside of the greater New England region have ever met. Also, I think it was congratulations because my soul-less Yankee fan freinds can't taunt me with "1918" anymore. They now have the curse of the A-rod slap, and I can finally say to them, "hey, when was the last time the Yankees won the World Series?" and gloat, of course... Now, I realize that I was not born in New England, and that I'm from Buffalo, and that Buffalo is far closer to Canada than to Boston. But I adopted the Red Sox when I was three, and I think 22 years of rooting for a team disqualifies one from bandwagon jumper status. But the point is three fold: the Red Sox were one of the most fun groups of idiotic baseball players to watch in a long time, the Red Sox/Yankees series was one of the most amazingly emotional and dramatic sporting events of all time (just ahead of the gladiators at the Colliseum), and Johnny Damon is definitely going for the "Jesus look" this year.
