[Sprowl]

Today's sermon is simple: Rejoice!



Big Manny is back, and all of Fenway is back BIG!!!



The bullpen slams the door.



In the meantime, the MFYs are visited by a plague of locusts. A-Rod brings his special interests and talents to bear on the problem.



On to Anaheim for the sweep...

What is A-Rod doing to that umpire's crotch?

I just wanted to say, we're all so proud of Sprowl - he's really busted is butt out there, what with the Offday Sermons and the Game Threads, bless his heart. OK, thanks, I'll hang up and listen now.

[Effa]

Yes, thanks Sprowl for the gamethread starting.etc........

And Thank You Jesus for the win!

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Can't decide what makes me happier today:

- The bugs sucking the Joba juice out of The Chosen One causing him to fail.
- A-fraud/choke-rod/clutch-rod continued playoff failure.
- Manny walk off joy.

They all combine for a sense of overall contentment.

Thank you Jesus, thank you Sprowl, thank you Orlando: I feel GOOD

I just really can't get over how great the last few days have been. Let's keep it up.

I am entering this house of worship to make public penance.

I am heartily sorry that I doubted the wisdom of Tito;

yea, cursing him, even in the top of the eighth inning, for leaving Manny in left field;

For Tito is the prophet, and Manny is the anointed one;

He maketh me to jump up in front of the television;

He maketh me to spill my beer upon the unclean hardwood;

He delivereth me from extra innings;

He comforteth my soul.

Can I have an "AMEN"???

He's just taking it one day at a time.

Mercy, Brother Savin, who maketh me convulse with laughter and cough up my morning coffee! AMEN!

I was searching Youtube for a video of Al Green singing Love and Happiness (to follow Dusty's I Feel Good). What I found instead was this -- it's kind of long, but check out the first and last minute for a view of the Great Bear Rainforest and the world's most complicated coastline. Time Slips Away...

I'm going to vote Manny walk off joy. I have always loved this guy, the best hitter I have personally ever seen.

This is something he has never done for the Sox, the dramatic walk off homer. He has won us a million games and was the WS MVP, but this was something I thought was missing from his Red Sox resume, the Fenway walk off.

I could not be happier for him. Sprowl, great pictures as usual, and I love that picture from behind Manny when the crowd is standing in unison with Manny.

It gives me chills.

Manny's homer by far made me the happiest. The others were icing on the cake.
They all combine for a sense of overall contentment ecstasy.

I heard a rumor, which I can't confirm, that Manny's HR hit Dennis Drinkwater in the back as he was climbing into his car. Anyone else hear this, too?

Ecstasy's excellent. I love the mob scene at home plate: it makes me feel like dancing!

It's kind of funny everyone is talking about him, because last night, for the first time ever, I saw him talking on a cellphone.

Has anyone ever seen that before? I kind of follow the no cell phone rule at the ballpark, and I always thought he did also.

I love Tito's reaction.

[Barbara]

I love Tito's reaction.

Tito's reaction, Manny's reaction, the fans' reaction was my reaction. Up went my arms and I felt that from New England to all across the country (and BC and England and Korea and Brazil) arms were going up in unison. What a wonderful sense of joy united us all.

Today I got calls from and ran into friends .....'did you see Manny's HR?!?!?!?! Some lady at a traffic light must have seen my decal as she pulled up along side me and beep her horn. I rolled down my window to 'Let's go Red Sox!" She had a Red Sox tire cover.

A glorious Fall day. Life is good.

Is it just me or was that brunette in the stands that they showed just before Manny comes to bat cute as hell?

I remember thinking at the time ... wow that brunette was cute, boy I'm going to make a sandwich if this game ever finishes .... HOLY SHIT MANNY HIT A WALK-OFF!

This should be a separte thread "What were you doing when Manny walked off"

I was actually already standing because I was about to go outside and get a couple of female friends that didn't know the area, then KRod fired in the 1-0 and my arms automatically went up in the air. Manny style. I also let out a "FUCK YEA".

Fun times.

Wow. That's EXACTLY what I thought. Cute chick, sandwich, and walk-off!
