Boston Wins the AL Pennant: The Story in Pictures


Well the Red Sox did it! Boston came back from 3-1 down in the series, and finished off Cleveland by the score of 11-2 tonight.

This game was pretty much an exact copy as last night's game. Boston gets up early, almost loses the slim lead and then goes off completely and scores like a bajillion runs.

Well, not a bajillion...but you get the point. I can't lie though, I was really nervous for the first part of the game. Now I have faith in Daisuke's pitching ability, but when he gave up those two or three hits in a row, my nerves were getting a little wrecked. Okay, so I nearly pooped myself, but who hasn't almost pooped themselves while watching a baseball game? Like, everyone, duh?

But we put in the other little Asian man to save the day, and the rest of the game was pretty smooth sailing. This, of course, isn't the most detailed report of how the game went, but it's getting real late, and I can't really remember much of the details right now.


I was so tired that all I remember is little Asian guys pitching and other short guys hitting home runs. And that's good enough for me. All I care about is that the Red Sox are in the World Series and are most likely going to kill the Colorado Rockies.


Oh and the GREATEST part of it was when the camera zoomed in on ol' "Tons O' Fun" Martinez, and he was--get this--crying. There were actual man-tears on national TV. Yes, crying in baseball apparently is okay in Cleveland, but not when Rosie O'Donnell is suiting up to play ball (which is something that will make you cry). So here are some photo highlights of Papelbon's low budget Riverdance impression. It was pure hilarity.
