What an amazing morning! Last night, I went to bed feeling as though it was Christmas Eve. I woke up every hour on the hour. As I arose at 5:45am, filled with optimism and hope, I could not have conceived of the disappointment I was to discover. That's exactly what happened, though, when I discovered that ESPN2 (and only a couple other channels) were not coming in. I continued to search for the game, as panic grew, until finally, I found it on NESN at the top of the 8th inning (it normally doesn't come in, wasn't coming in earlier, and is allegedgly "unavailable" in the NYC area). In any event, I was able to watch the last three innings, including the 10th inning, and see the Red Sox come-from-behind in the most dramatic fashion.
Meanwhile, Japan seemed to do a wonderful job in the role of host. Though less than unbiased (as they have an enormous Red Sox fan base), they played "Sweet Caroline," brough Papelbon out to Dropkick Murphy's "Shipping up to Boston," and fervently cheered for the Sox throughout the contest. It was a wonderful start to a new year! Thank you, Santa.
