The first is local boy, James Taylor singing the National Anthem
The second is Papelbon striking out Brad Hawpe for the last out of the game -- and the save. Then the crowd -- including moi - goes wild.

Certainly worth the trip up there and only to be made sweeter by having the Sox win it all.
I suppose there was no chance of taking out McCarver when you were at field level.
I find myself listening to his commentary, pausing ten seconds to try to comprehend his statement and then turning to my wife as we both say "whaaat?!!"
Any way I am now working on my sea level curveball...GO SOX!!

Certainly one of the downsides of going to the game was not being able to listen to McCarver's insightful rambling. He puts me in mind of some the homeless people I pass on my way to work that don't have the filter that sane people have, which says, "Maybe you shouldn't say that out loud."
McCarver taught me a mind-blowing concept in Game 1 though. He said that the batter really wants to get to first base, because once there his next move could be to go to second base.
Someone needs to put him out of his misery.
How about this gem from McCarver last night... talking about Manny. "He can strike like a cobra in a basket."
Looking forward to many more insightful comments from Jim McCarver tonight! ;)
You picked the best game to be at in the series so far. Although I did rather enjoy seeing Dice-K hitting a 2 RBI single last night. Go Sox.
Reality Soldier - you're telling me. What a game. Although each one has been fun in it's own right. It was an honor to be there!
