The Boston Red Sox became the first team in playoff history to be down 3 games, and win 4 straight to take the series. It was extra sweet for Sox fans since the series was against the rival New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. Yankees management will probably be updating their resumes in preparation for the wrath of owner George Steinbrenner.

On Thursday, the Houston Astros and St. Louis Cardinals play Game 7 for the National League pennant. While I don't have a horse in the race, I almost want the Cardinals to win just so we don't have to listen endlessly to analogies linking a Boston-Houston World Series to the Kerry-Bush presidential race.
