Congratulations Red Sox. When I was home in the summer, all of New England was geared up for this season. And now I know why. It was worth it in a sense just to have knocked off the Yankees. Woo hoo.

"By suffering a 10-3 pummeling at the hands of the Red Sox in American League Championship Series Game 7, the Yankees recorded arguably the most humiliating loss in their charmed existence, while providing their hated rivals their finest hour in generations."

Generations. This is not an exaggeration.
