To me it's just a game, but to him... his Heartbreak Meter was going crazy all week. Joe – thank you for helping me understand my husband (a Clevelander) a little better.

I do remember '86. I remember it well. How do you blow a 2 run lead in the bottom of the tenth with two outs and no one on? How? So close. So close. Never there. But your time will come. Maybe they'll surround Lebron with better talent, maybe the Browns... (no, who are we kidding.) The Indians have a good nucleus of solid ball players. They'll learn from this. Maybe they'll be back next year. But your time will come. I remember the pain. I remember it well. While I am not disappointed in the result in the least, I understand your pain. I do remember ‘86.

Year after year, heart-wrenching loss after another, and you wonder why you still care. However as others above have said. When that win comes, it is really a spectacular feeling. Good luck next year and hopefully we'll see the same teams go at it again. Any Sox fan prior 2004 knows exactly how you feel.

Your heart has been carved out once again, and there will be that much more joy with which it will be filled. I didn't believe it either, but it came just that way.

I was scared of your hardworking, amazingly talented team and I think most Sox fans felt the match-up was scarily close. You probably don't want to hear any more from gracious Sox fans (including me) but we all feel some need to say we get it big time. I think Cleveland needed the win more than Boston but I wouldn't have liked it one bit if we'd lost A lot of glory and probably, a lot of business comes to the city in the World Series, but that's not what it's all about. It's that feeling and it s--ks to not get the joy that comes with the win. Hey Joe,

Trent Rosecrans said, New Adventures in Hi-Fi is really good. Monster can maybe be seen as a misstep, but I'd say I've grown to appreciate it more over time. You can discard just about everything else though. I was only able to suffer through "Reveal" once, putting it in a category with the horrendous "Songs for Silverman" as albums by artists who I love that make me wonder if they'll ever regain their form.

From what I know about baseball, when I see a hitter go up there hacking on the first pitch, I find it hard to believe he's trying to hit a sac fly. I don’t know, man.
