I hate to be an American League fan-boy, but now that The Curse has been broken, the truth is that the World Series was pretty anti-climactic. (Not that anything could be as dramatic as the 2004 Sox-Yankees series.)

I love that The Dropkick Murphy's have become The Sound of Boston : they use I'm Shipping Up To Boston and Tessie at Red Sox games and a song of their's was featured in The Departed. Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of drunken Micks.
