And cry for the same reason.

Twenty-seven outs away from Carbo and Fisk's home runs not going for naught.
Twenty-seven outs away from one for Luis, Dewey, Freddie, the Rooster, and the Spaceman.

Twenty-seven outs away from being one strike away.

Twenty-seven outs away from restoring Bill Buckner's legacy as a career .289 hitter, with 2715 career hits and the 1980 Silver Slugger award.
Twenty-seven outs away from Dan Shaughnessy having to invent a new phrase.
Twenty-seven outs away from forgiving Wade Boggs and the horse he rode in on.
Twenty-seven outs away from hoping Grady gets another chance.
Twenty-seven outs away from Aaron Boone being a question mark at the hot corner for the Cleveland Indians in 2005.
Twenty-seven outs away from someday retiring No. 21 and forgiving Roger for the Blue Jays and the Yanks.
Well, two out of three ain't bad.

I did that when I was a senior in high school, the year the Jets won their only Super Bowl and the Mets won their first World Series.

No, I don't imagine that we'll be hearing from "Stumpy" unless we lose the next three games.

At the end of the game yesterday the centerfield scoreboard at busch Stadium said:

"Thanks for a Great 2004 Season"

Way to "Keep the Faith" St. Louis!

I'm praying for a peaceful celebration if the Sox win. More than anything in the world if we clinch (still using "if") I want to take my bottle of champagne that has been in my fridge for god knows how long and crack that baby open right outside Fenway and relish in the victory all without the fear of being shot with rubber bullets

One of our docs just left to go to St. Louis for the game... he said he was at that 1986 game 6... I guess he hasn't been to a WS game since then... weird!
