Just chill out, OK?Before people in New England start naming their kids “Damon” or “Papi” or “Francona” (We call him Frankie!), keep in mind that the Red Sox have been in the World Series before - and they’ve made it by overcoming considerable odds to win the AL pennant. (Donnie Moore, anyone?)
I trust that this time, like all of those other times, the Red Sox will have the kind of dramatic moments that Bostonians will talk about for generations. Things like Fisk willing his home run fair to win Game 6 in 1975. Or The back-to-back homers by Evans and Gedman in game 7 in 1986. What happened both times? The Red Sox lost.
Wake me when they are celebrating in Houston St. Louis, please. (And I don’t mean November 2, Karol.) (Joke relevant to the anticipated Clemens win in Game 7 removed. -ed.)
