Amazing! The Boston Red Sox have defeated the New York Yankees 10-3, to win their first trip to the World Series since 1986!!!

The game was simply amazing, from Johnny Damon’s 2-run homer + grand slam, to Derek Lowe’s nearly perfect pitching. The low point was the excruciating bottom of the seventh inning, where Pedro Martinez was stupidly put in to replace Lowe. Luckily, Embree and Timlin took care of the eighth and ninth innings, and managed to hold the Yankees down to just three runs for the win.

Last, but not least, let’s go over the linkage between dad wearing his Red Sox cap and the Sox record:

2003 ALCS: Dad wears his cap for the first few games, then forgets to wear it. The Sox lose.
2004 ALCS: Dad forgets to wear his cap for the first three games, which the Sox lose. I remind him to wear it for the last four games, which the Sox win.

Coincidence? Dad, keep that hat on during the World Series.

In any case:

GO SOX!
