Shall we talk about it? I tried talking to JP about it, but he blocked me. Beer makes me... more me. But moreso. So who wants to talk about it?

Not much to say..........Boston looking good, Cardinals having a tough go of it.

Kind of got away from Matheny there in the 4th.

I was kinda hoping for 7. Cuz Game 7s are just incredible. But I'll take this. Sadly, the self restraint I have built up over the years slips away when I drink. Who wants to fight!?!?!?

Bren, Really? Aren't you more of a runner than a fighter? And aren't you like 5'7" and 155#? Relax, have a beer and go hit on the chic wearing the Cards jersey at the end of the bar.

Haha, even if JP hadn't blocked you, if you said anything to him tonight he would pop you one after the way the Cards are playing tonight. I am guessing the same could be said about Aaron doing the same.

I was there last night. 5 rows behind the Sox on deck circle, just to the right of the screen. It was fucking amazing. I will never forget it.

I was drunk as a skunk.

I really don't know where that expression comes from, it makes no sense.

I think the real question should be how the hell did Vacek get into that game? Either he's extremely loaded, has unreal connections/naked pictures of someone or has had season tickets in his family forever...which is it, Dan?

Must have been an awesome experience.

Basically I have a great friend from high school who I may have to name my firstborn son after. He's got 6 seats in a row of 7 at Fenway, knows how big of a Sox fan I am, and was kind enough to take me to game 1 in 2004, game 2 in 2007, and game 6 this year. Same friend had front row corner ice seats for the Whalers in high school, and I went to almost every home game with him. Pretty much owe this guy more than I could possibly ever repay. So, turns out I'm neither loaded nor connected, just a lucky bastard with a very very kind friend.

I'm thinking you may have to GIVE your firstborn to him. That's awesome. Go Sox! Go Whale!
