This morning I passed by Sacred Heart church in Quincy and either Johnny Damon was standing in the garden or someone put a Red Sox jersey on the Jesus statue. Normally, I would have thought that was strange, but not after the past week and a half.
In case you were trapped in a mine shaft for the past two weeks, let me recap for you: The Boston Red Sox won the World Series. They not only won, they swept the team with the best record in baseball. Oh yeah, and they came back from a 0-3 deficit in a best-of-seven series against the Yankees, becoming not only the first baseball team to win a seven game series after being down 3-0, but the first team to win eight consecutive playoff games.
Also, the Olympia Sports commercial where Manny starts daydreaming about being named World Series MVP actually happened. "Yeah, sactly."
So for the first time in 86 years, the Red Sox are World Champions. No more 1918 chants. No more ridiculous curse talk. It still feels kind of weird.
But once the celebrations die down...if they die down...it'll be time to start talking about the inevitable movie. I haven't got it all worked out yet, but how about these?
