Okay — so maybe I underestimated the Red Sox. Pedro looked really shakey going into the game and I thought it was going to be another debacle, and then they guy pulls out some gumption and shows everyone why he’s thought to be so good. It wasn’t a terribly exciting game, other than some of the funny base-running shenanigans by the Cardinals, but they got the job done.
Wouldn’t it be cool — legendary — if they won tonight during the dwindling moments of a reddish-tinted lunar eclipse?
I’m off to World Fantasy tomorrow, so you won’t be hearing from me until Monday at the earliest. Should be lots of fun. I found out there’s an Irish Pub just a block or two away from the conference hotel, which makes me very happy. Guinness close at hand!
