Red Sox claim second World Series in four years with 4-3 win over Rockies

DENVER - Perched high above his raucous teammates, David Ortiz sprayed bottles of bubbly in every direction, dousing everyone in sight, including himself.
Then it was time to deliver a message. "When you wear Red Sox on your shirt," he hollered from atop a clubhouse table, "you're good at something." There's a new monster, and this one's in Boston, too.
Overwhelming in every way, the Red Sox swept to their second title in four years Sunday night. Jon Lester, Mike Lowell & Co. left little room for drama with a 4-3 win over the Colorado Rockies in Game 4.
This was hardly a repeat from 2004, when the Red Sox ended their 86-year championship drought by beating St. Louis. Boston is a major league bully these days, playing in rarefied air before crowds who demand to win.
"It doesn't get old," manager Terry Francona said.
Gone are those pleading, pathetic days when the Red Sox were practically begging to win a title. They've got this down pat now.
After trailing Cleveland 3-1 in the AL championship series, the Red Sox won seven straight games and won their seventh World Series crown.
The wild-card Rockies, who won a remarkable 21 of 22 games to get this far, were a mere afterthought by the end. Brad Hawpe homered in the seventh inning and Garrett Atkins hit a two-run shot in the eighth that came too late.
Lester, undergoing chemotherapy at this time last year for cancer, pitched shutout ball into the sixth inning and Jonathan Papelbon closed with his third save of the Series.
Lowell won the MVP award, though Boston had plenty of candidates. Especially in a year in which Japanese stars Daisuke Matsuzaka and Hideki Okajima helped put the world in World Series.
Coors Field was filled with Red Sox fans, many of them brazenly waving brooms they might have brought from the Green Monster seats at Fenway Park.
This time, Jason Varitek caught the final pitch and tucked it in his back pocket as Papelbon threw his glove high in the air after striking out pinch-hitter Seth Smith. The Red Sox spilled out of the dugout to party between the mound and first.

Boston Celebrates World Series Win          

BOSTON (AP) — Boston police in riot gear worked to clear several large crowds gathered around Fenway  Park after the Red Sox won their second World Series title in four years.
Police spokeswoman Elaine Driscoll said 37 arrests were made overnight in the city, mostly for disorderly conduct.
An unruly crowd flipped a pick up truck to its side near Fenway Park and at least one car fire was reported.
Police shut down access to Kenmore Square as Game 4 neared its end in Denver. The Red Sox won the game 4-3, touching off celebrations around New  England.
Customers in bars and restaurants around Fenway Park were told they would not be allowed to return once they left.

Fwd: Celebrating the Red Sox - 2007 World Series Champions

Like Papelbon, we were too tired to dance, but we still held a small celebration after the Red Sox won the World Series.

Fwd: "You should not drink and bake"

I nearly burned down the house last night.

Friends from Nick's soccer team invited us over for a raclette party.  The four families were from all over the world--France, Argentina, Armenia, and China--but united by their passion for soccer and fun.  Betrand started us off with Kir Royales ( 1 part Creme de Cassis; 5 parts Champagne) and also provided a variant made with Peche Blanc instead of Cassis.  With the raclette we had a variety of sliced hams, potatoes, pickles, and onions.  Oh yes, and a glass of wine.  I stick to my story that I only had one glass of wine, because the glass never seemed to go empty.

My plan was to come home from dinner about 10, bake bread and watch the Red Sox win Game 3 of the World Series.  Of course we had so much fun at the party that we stayed much, much later than expected.  We watched the 7th inning and then headed home sometime after midnight.  For some reason, I decided to stick to my original plan and bake the bread anyhow.  Not sure why my judgment was a bit off.

Anyhow, I put the bread in the oven, forgot to set the timer, and sat down to watch the end of the game.  Next thing I know, the smoke detector is blasting me out a deep sleep, the game is long over, and the house is full of smoke.

I pulled the baguettes, or rather, briquettes out of the oven and put them outside on the patio.  Then I opened all the doors and fanned the smoke for about five minutes before the alarms stopped.  Somehow the kids slept through the whole thing, but the house still smells like smoke this morning.  See if you can guess from the attached photos which bread I baked last night and which bread is from this morning when my head was clearer.  As Arnold Schwarzenegger said in the movie Raw Deal, "You should not drink and bake."
