Congrats to the Sox from the defending champs!

>Here's wishing all the New Englanders the joy of their victory. That was an amazing, epic series, richly deserved congratulations to the Red Sox. It should be a looooong time before Johnny Damon has to buy himself a drink (or go dateless on a Saturday night) in Boston!
Now, if only the Cards can pull it out tonight ...
Quickly, now - do you remember who won the Series in 2003? Do you remember who Steve Bartman is?

(Who can still remember the Marlins' second World Series title as though it was only last year ... OK, so it WAS only last year. But, it's hard now to continue thinking of the Marlins as the 'defending' world champs - once they fell out of it in 2004, it feels like they are no longer 'defending' their title. Although, for some inexplicable reason, I did note a distinct lack of sympathy from Red Sox (or Cubs) fans last year, whenever I expressed any displeasure at ALL about the Marlins and their fans having to endure five [long, painful, sub-.500] seasons between their '97 and '03 Series titles.)
(And, the Marlins can now share with the Sox the superlative joy of beating up on the Yankees! Mmmmm, tastes sweet.)
