Boys from Boston Make Good

I just want to dedicate the victory game to Chick Kromm, my wife's grandfather. He didn't live to see it, but I know he was watching.

"Tessie is the Royal Rooters rally cry
Tessie is the song they always sung
Tessie echoed April through October nights
After serenading Stahl, Dineen and Young
Tessie is a maiden with the sparkling eyes
Tessie is a maiden with the love
She doesn't know the meaning of her sight
She's got a comment full of love
And sometimes when the game is on the line
Tessie always carried them away
Up the road from Third Base to Huntington
The boys will always sing and sway

Two! Three! Four!

Tessie, Nuff Ced McGreevy shouted
We're not here to mess around
Boston, you know we love you madly
Hear the crowd roar to your sound
Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
You know we couldn't live without you
Tessie, you are the only, only, only

The Rooters showed up at the Grounds one day
They found their seats had all been sold
McGreevy led the charge into the park
Stormed the gates and put the game on hold
The Rooters gave the other team a dreadful fright
Boston's tenth man could not be wrong
Up from Third Base to Huntington
They sang another victory song

Two! Three! Four!

Tessie, Nuff Ced McGreevy shouted
We're not here to mess around
Boston, you know we love you madly
Hear the crowd roar to your sound
Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
You know we couldn't live without you
Tessie, you are the only, only, only

The Rooters gave the other team a dreadful fright
Boston's tenth man could not be wrong
Up from Third Base to Huntington
They sang another victory song

Two! Three! Four!

Tessie, Nuff Ced McGreevy shouted
We're not here to mess around
Boston, you know we love you madly
Hear the crowd roar to your sound
Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
You know we couldn't live without you
Boston, you are the only, only, only
Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
You know we couldn't live without you
Red Sox, you are the only, only, only..."

You know what I'm going to miss most of all? Ads for "House, M.D."

Oh man, it is sweet.

That's my boyfriend right there with the catcher's gear on, isn't he the coolest? --

Y'know, I was watching those "House" promos going, "Who *is* that dude? He looks just like Hugh Laurie." Turns out IT IS MOTHERFUCKING HUGH LAURIE! WTF LOL OMG!!!1!

They may have won the World Series but they haven't won the division since 95. Teams that get to the World Series via the Wildcard should get an asterisk.

I don't know much about rounders, but I'm currently wearing a pair of socks. Consider it a small tribute.

Damn, I love it when the underdogs win.

Don't worry, Hugo: rounders is much like cricket, but simpler: the bat is cylindrical, so it cannot be held the wrong way round, and the batter runs in a circle, to avoid any confusing changes of direction. Silly mid-on is largely neglected.

Oh Bio, now that sounds like sour grapes.

It certainly is. They won the division by competing for the title. And they not only defeated, they trounced the Cardinals, who had the best record in the NL. Say whatever else you don't like about the Sox, but you can't say they didn't earn the World Champion title.
