Zan celebrates the Red Sox' 2013 World Series win

(His champagne-spraying skills leave a little to be desired, but this was all his idea, so I give him an “A” for effort and enthusiasm.)

  • Red Sox win their eighth World Series title, third in 10 years
  • Improbable Dream now reality for 2013 World Series champion Red Sox
  • An unforgettable season of redemption
  • FINAL: Red Sox 6, Cardinals 1

2009 Postseason Papelblown

Jonathan Papelbon melted down in Game 3 of the 2009 ALDS.

  • Closed for season
  • Reliable fireballer has hellish outing
  • The old-time gloom settles over Fenway
  • For Buchholz, tough one to watch
  • For fans, parting is sweep sorrow
  • There’s uncertainty for some

“I can see clearly now,” says tonight’s home-plate umpire

CB Bucknor gets some much-needed eyewear.

  • The new Buckner is Bucknor
  • A bit lacking in Game 1
  • Tables turned, a start to forget
  • Hunter’s aim was true
  • Only thing missing was Lackey’s finishing touch

It’s the third fucking quarter and no one has scored a touchdown. I’m ready for the @Patriots to do something now, thank you.

Excited for the #SuperBowl ... or, as my kids have come to know it, The Annual Early February @Patriots Game.

Haven’t enjoyed a championship win since October. Here’s hoping the 96-day drought finally comes to end.

"I have no idea when the #RedSox will again win the World Series, but whenever they do, my son no longer will be 15, and it's entirely possible that he won't have any interest in road-tripping to Boston with his dad ... so, yeah, I decided to go for it."

Celebrating like champions with the Boston Red Sox

Approximately 30 seconds after Game 5 ended, he began campaigning for a road trip to Boston to attend the parade.
