I am thrilled that the Red Sox — the Idiots! — have won the World Series.
I’d tell you why I’m extra happy that they’ve won, namely that it means we won’t have to hear about the long-suffering Cursed Sox ever again. But Phil has already done that. So I might as well second his thoughts. Enjoy the win, Sox fans, and then toss away all that overwrought poetry about how bad your lot is.
Meanwhile, we Giants fans will light another candle.
