The Red Sox completed their improbable, historic comeback against the Yankees tonight, becoming the first team in MLB history to erase a 0-3 playoff deficit and doing so in their nemeses' own back yard. Derek Lowe pitched masterfully on only two days rest, a feat of gutsiness second only to Schilling's pitching on an ankle held together by baling twine the night before. If this doesn't dispel the Curse of the Bambino from Beantown, I don't know what will. I will leave to others the lyrical waxings that are sure to come, and suffice with a big congrats to the Red Stockings and their fans.
Incidentally, Dowbrigade News has a nice post that puts an event like this into perspective, both for what it is not and what it, nevertheless, still means to a team and a city.
