Saint Curt v. The Sore Losers

The Red Sox made history tonight by being the first team in baseball history to come back from a 0-3 deficit to force a seventh game. History itself will be on hand to witness tomorrow's game, for even history dare not predict the outcame of Game Seven II.

The Yankees looked like losers tonight, and their fans like sore losers. Faces taught with frustration lined the first-base dugout in the late innings, as the NYPD was forced to dispatch riot police to quell a crowd of sore losers. In all the painful days of Red Sox lossdom, never have the Fenway Faithful made a display of anger as unsportsmanlike as the Yankee fans did, throwing balls and debris onto the field when the umpires ruled (correctly) against them on a few occasions. The umps themselves were completely professional, caucusing on tough calls and getting it right.

The biggest story of the night, of course, was Curt Schilling, who gave credit to God for the win. Game One he said, he tried to pitch in his own strength; this was not only a godlike pitching performance, it was God. Should we nickname him Saint Curt?
