Nope, it was last year. 1912-2012. But it was a very nice idea.

I have all the respect in the world for John Farrell, but that was simply inexplicable. Lackey had given up a run on three hard hit balls and was struggling. Farrell goes out to the mound and lets Lackey talk him into not pulling him. He was lucking and he walked "his guy". I have only two words for that move...Grady Little.

Winston: I have to agree with you---Sox lucky their lead wasn't seriously cut in half. Cardinals still look like "Dead Birds" to me.

I was so glad the Red Sox won the World Series over the Cardinals (yuck!). And to clinch at home for the first time since 1918. And who did the Red Sox beat in the 1918 World Series but the Chicago Cubs! Way to go Red Sox.

I've been wearing my Red Sox home jersey (#9) every day since the start of the ALCS. Tomorrow will be the last day. My wife kept saying that I needed to wash it. She just doesn't understand.
Tomorrow will be that last day for it. Saturday, it goes to the cleaners.
I'm really glad I didn't wash it. Who knows what might have happened?

Default Great parody.

Here's a parody of the Mastercard commercials that involves passionate Red Sox fans (are there any other kind?).
