I really thought this was going to go to Game 7, and be a nail-biter all the way, after St. Louis recovered from that first game. But yay! That was pretty fantastic. The third and fourth innings were amazing; the Sox were on fire. I was nervous as hell in the seventh, when Lackey had clearly been out there too long, but phew.

I can't blame the Cardinals for walking Ortiz as much as they did - really, it's the only sensible strategy, considering how incredibly he's been hitting -- but he was so cranky about it, hee. And he still scored two runs, despite never getting a hit. ♥ Papi ♥

I don't make a habit of watching sports because I always wind up feeling bad for whoever loses, but home team championships are a different matter. I still feel terrible for the Cardinals and their fans (god, how crushing was that?), but on the flip side of that, wow, was this a fun series to be a Red Sox fan during.

I hope my dad managed to stay awake for it. *g*
