Say thanks to your wife, J, then get back for opening day.

Indeed.

But is any picture of Paps not fantastic?

Did they just ask John Henry if he preferred Lowell or ARod at 3rd base???

[bball831]

This MLB.com show is fantastic. The whole crew is DRUNK!

To which he responded "Oh come on that isn't fair"

Dougie is on now..

Someone in the crowd shouted DOUGIES GOING DEEP TONIGHT

I love this.

[bball831]

HR just said Dougie could start for a lot of other clubs!!!

There's plenty of independant leagues that would take him.

[njingles3]

Alright boys.

Time to wake up this sleeping town. And eat some fucking celebration food.

Tonight I will say my prayers to Terry Francona, Mike Lowell, and Jacoby Ellsbury's eyebrows.

Even though I can't be in Boston now or for the parade, it still doesn't get any better than this. I feel truly validated as a fan having watched all these games after midnight, even if I can't celebrate with anyone.

This is Boston's decade. Or maybe century. Or eon.

[ypioca]

WRKO starting a 2007 retrospective right now.


Good, I need to keep myself awake.

[rembrat]

LOL TIMLIN!!!

[Andrew]

I'm so tired. Goodnight guys. :-D

[bball831]

Mike Timlin is WASTED!!!

[njingles3]

Mike Timlin is WASTED!!!

So is his son!!!!

[rembrat]

I'm so tired. Goodnight guys. :-D

YOU MUST NOT SLEEP YOU ARE MISSING DRUNKEN RED SOX PLAYERS IT IS HIGH COMEDY

[Andrew]

I plan on making 7 more game threads this season, starting Thursday. Book it.

Mwuahaha.

[FoulketoMinky]

The Fox guys are right - A-Rod and Boras are douchebags.

[rembrat]

Jim Leyritz killed Boras..

[BigPapiLumber Co.]

Leyritz: If I were Selig I would fine Boras ... he thinks he's bigger than the game ... I'd go after him.

Awesome!

[bball831]

Leyritz calls A-Rod a joke, never won a WS and now wants all this money.

[Al Zarilla]

I had to watch the celebration stuff on Fox and ESPN over and over (NESN sounds like infinitely more fun), but came back to say thanks to all here for the great community we have. Happy offseason, hotstove league, and go Pats!

[rembrat]

Well, I don't know about you guys but I enjoyed this FOX part of the coverage.

[redsoxfan1776]

Well, I don't know about you guys but I enjoyed this FOX part of the coverage.

Yes--quite humorous. I especially liked their ribbing of Mirabelli (would he really start on another team) and Cora (future manager). They were also right on with A-Rod's trying to get attention.

Edit: Thanks, Jnai!

[DeronJohnson'sTriple]

The thing that got me closest to tears was Varitek in tears. I really have to give him his due. Calls an amazing game, and got some key hits and drives from the end of the Cleveland series onward. Sometimes we tend to overlook him. I sure haven't at this moment.

[hrbrendan]

just got home. i am very happy.

[Stealth Beagle]

So I guess it's really over, huh? No more game threads in 2007?

[RedSox04]

Congratulations to our beloved 2007 World Champion Boston Red Sox! They didn't make us wait too long this time!! What a wonderful, wonderful night! We really are in a golden age!!

Allow this Royals fan to say congrats on the World Series. Last time I lived anywhere near a World Series champion was the fifth grade, and I've been hoping for the Royals to make it back ever since. At the very least, it's great to see friends and co-workers go absolutely nuts and enjoy this.

Enjoy it while you can, before the Royals start running MLB in 2029!

[chester]

So much to say but... Best season Ive ever watched (so far) - 04 is a different story. Congratulations to all Red Sox players, management and fans (especially lurkers). It has been sweet.

2 in for 4 years its sureal

WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS

Props to Andrew.
Congrats to Jose and G38.
Thanks to the geeks admirable "server"ice.

You do realize that this trophy is one that the MFYs played for? Look very closely at it.

Please, join in wishing the MFY a wonderful...morning.
How's the A-rod thing working for ya.


Nice.

[Fishy1]

I am still smiling ear to ear. I could watch Papelbon deliver that pitch over and over.

[asection8]

Go to redsox.com, find the video of kielty's homerun, and watch with delight as they show a kid in the stands doing a papelbon impression.

[patman]

Exactly. 04 was the Sox getting over the hump. This year is the start of the dynasty.
...

I'd say our dynasty started in '03 - we just didn't know it until now

You know what's great? All next year, every time you go to MLB.tv to watch a game or catch some highlights, the first thing you'll see is the clip of Papelbon striking out Smith and then leaping off the mound in their preview pane

[Rudi Fingers]

Congratulations to the Red Sox.

Thanks to SOSH for opening up the lurker boards this year and making great discussion and game threading available to all.

I was able to enjoy every moment of the playoffs with my family, which made it just as special as 2004 for me. The Sox' young talent is immense, and I am already looking forward to next year.

I feel fully balanced - like the winning Sox are no longer a fluke. The final outs of '07 and '04 share space in my memory with Bucky Dent's homer, Buckner's grounder, and Aaron Boone's homer.

It has been great to share the time between the games with my second family on these boards, and I hope they stay open during the offseason.

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Congrats to the Sox.

Thank you to SOSH for keeping the board alive for the playoffs.

I fell asleep for the last 2 games, but it was good to wakeup to see such a positive result.

How many days until pitchers and catchers?

[martybarrettoverdrive]

Congratulations to the Red Sox and the dopes for keeping this site running smoothly throughout the postseason.

Offseason speculation and conjecture begins........NOW!

[Al Zarilla]

Congratulations to the Red Sox.

Not to go all computer here, but Dent, Buckner and Boone are just about swapped out of my cache memory, only returning when Fox or ESPN has to put them on TV to try to revive something they used to call a curse?

[Nixon For President]

The Sox were 9-2 in Jon Lester's 11 starts this year, and 18-8 for his 26 career starts. I see no reason for the trend to change. I feel good about tonight. Lester is a winner. We shall win!

10-2

[BigPapiLumber Co.]

I've been walking around all day w/a huge smile on my face, saying "Oh my God, Oh my God." Last night, I was so exhausted ... and so exhilerated, stayed up to watch the entire post-game, figuring, "what the hell, tomorrow's gonna suck at work anyway, these memories will be unbeatable -- this is why I watched 150 games." Well, tomorrow doesn't suck. A little tired, a little too much work to catch up on after leaving at 530 almost every day for 3 weeks, but man does this feel good!

My girlfriend and I decided to get married next October 11. I said, ok, but the honeymoon waits til November. She's a Sox/baseball fan through me only -- a damn quick study, though -- so I was surprised at her enthusiasm when she said, "of course we're not honeymoonin' in October!" (Doesn't hurt that we're honeymoonin' in the Southern Hemisphere -- weather!!)

You folks have been awesome to watch the games with!! Thanks ... for everything.

While I'm not one to typically jump on Tito for every move I think I might do differently, if I happen to start bitching about some move Tito makes next year that seems to be based on sentiment or some such, or when he plays his "Sunday lineup," I ask you all to please remind me of how fukken heartlessly awesome he is in the post-season.

And, finally -- to the Mods/Geeks/People who run SoSH: Wow! Kick-ass job keeping this board up through all the craziness of this post-season. My donation is coming soon.

I haven't seen a single celebration photo with Gagne in.

Did he get locked out the clubhouse after the game?
