Red Sox in 4

Yes, it feels great. But there's something different the second time around in 86 years. No neuroses. No angst. No fear that, with one out in the ninth, Ellsbury would bumble the near home run and the self-destruction would begin.

It was talked about at the office today, but it didn't take over the day. No one wore Red Sox t-shirts. Over and again, everyone I talked to was proud/excited, but most of all, glad to get some sleep again.

And, talk has immediately turned to the 8-0 Patriots, who play the 8-0 Colts this weekend. I couldn't care less.

I can't wait for opening day in '08.
