History (part II)

What day is it? Friday? Saturday? Thriday? I have no idea. I have slept for the last 2 days. I am so mental, phsyically, and emotionally exhausted that I have no reason to get up....except one (The Sox won the ALCS!) Shhh...don't say anything, we don't want any Yankee fans to get jealous do we??? Oh wait, yes we do...HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
I actually want to thank the Yankees for the largest colapse of all time. And thanks to A-Rod, I now have a new catch phrase. If somebody leans over to change your radio station in the car when you are driving, calmly say "Touch that dial, and I pull an A-Rod on you." They won't know what hit them, well, until you slap them in their forearm and then put your hands in the air saying "What did I do?" Okay enough Yankee bashing.
The Sox put together an amazing streak that does not end quite yet. Yes I am scared. No I am not doubting the team. Yes I think the St. Louis Cardinals are the best team on paper. No I don't think they will win the WS. Yes it was a fender-bender. No it....wait...sorry, I just saw it on TV. I am in Maine right now. I get to watch game 1 in New England. I hate being in Illinois, getting all pscyhed about the wins, then no one saying anything to me other than the latest dillema the cubs are having. Alright, anyways, here are my keys to the game.

1: Win
2: Keep up the intensity. If they are the Yankees, we don't need to worry. But they aren't, so keep it up. (I don't think they will have a problem with this)
3: Mute Tim McCarver every time you hear him breathe.
4: Pedro must perform ('nuff said)
5: Schilling will end up being asked to perform a 2nd miracle. I understand that Jesus is on our team in the form of Johnny Damon, but we need to realize that all we need from Schilling is 6 innings of 2 run ball and that will be as good as a miracle.
6: Win
7: Keep our celebrations to a minimum. This needs to be addressed. I'm not talking about the real fans, I'm talking about the college kids who are rioting. A tragic death occurred because of this. We don't need this. Plus you end up getting the Boston Herald being idiotic (not the same as the Sox, the bad type) and putting terrible pictures on the front cover and page 4. We need the Sox players to make some PSAs about this.
8: We need Manny to step up, Ortiz to play some D, and Damon to bring ALCS game 7 into the entire WS.

We will win, don't worry, it's in the cards. Good luck Sox. Keep the Faith. And before I forget
It.
Is.
On.
World Series style baby.
