People,

I know that by saying it I threaten to jinx the entire proceedings, but I'm getting a little excited over here. If anyone had told me last Saturday that on October 25th the Red Sox would be two games up in the world series with Pedro yet to pitch I would not only have not believed them, I also would probably have kicked them right in the Jimmies for teasing me so.

But here we are and the Sox could not possibly be in a better position. It's hard not to think that perhaps this is the team of destiny that we've been waiting for all these years. Dag.

In other news, thanks to everyone who came out and made Friday night such a special show. You see, every time we have a big show like that we spend the week preceding it convincing each other that no one will show up. By showtime we all are bummed out and expecting to see three people. So it was pretty damn sweet to walk out on that stage Friday to be greeted by a few hundred of our closest friends. Thanks.
