Sox Win World Series Again!

I love it, I seriously love it.. just a few short years ago we were the Hapless Losers and now look -- The Boston Red Sox have won the World Series twice in 4 years! I'm so proud of them.

It's been a while, and... absorbing it all -- it's true, and I've talked with others who feel similarly ... it's not the same as 2004, but then again - how could it be?

That was a once in a lifetime situation, really -- a miracle. Nothing less than a miracle. And a union of faith among the masses -- a faith so strong and emotional, I swear we were able to lift that team up and keep them up when the chips were down and all was lost.

It is very rewarding to know that this team wasn't destined to never win a World Series again, that dumb (bad) luck wasn't going to rule the day over and over like the movie 'Groundhog Day' -- that -- it wasn't really cursed after all...
Not that I ever believed any of that. That was of course, crazy-silly, a brilliant marketing ploy by Dan Shaughnessy for sure, and nothing more.

Besides, a 'curse' can be fought. Reversed.
Dumb, bad luck? How do you fight that? lol

Anyway, back to the win, the SWEEP. Their second World Series sweep... it is so rewarding. And very rewarding to see Mike Lowell receive the MVP. What a wonderful 'accident' he has been. Can you imagine if Josh Beckett had won the Cy Young, and then Mike Lowell the WS MVP? I mean, considering how Lowell was a classic 'add on' for us to get Beckett from the Marlins.. sort of a Rodney Dangerfield "Take my wife - please!" add on.... they made us

Galadriel: "Even the smallest person can change the course of the future."

basically take him off their hands to get Beckett. Wow, I guess sometimes just a change of scenery, change of employer is all that is needed sometimes.

Well, my grammy would have been very thrilled with these last few years of Red Sox baseball. I regret that she and my parents never got to see all this. I do hope that there was... someway ... that they still got to. :)

I do think Grammy would've just looved Pedroia and Ellsbury...
