Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it onto future generations. George Bernard Shaw

Heart of a Champion


So...wow.

Of course the extended 4-game comeback against the Yankees in 2004 is the crown jewel, especially with the tense, razor's-edge nature of the Game 4 and Game 5 wins. Overcoming the 3-1 deficit against the Indians last year en route to the World Series was fun too.

Last night just adds to the mystique. Down seven runs with seven outs to go? JD Drew, again, proves to be the most important universally-reviled acquisition in franchise history.

I saw a stat this morning...the Red Sox are 8-1 in elimination games under Terry Francona.

Don't stop believin'.
