I had a standing room ticket for the game in the terrace under the Cumberland Farms sign. By the end of the game my back and legs were screaming. I was all prepared to see the Sox win as I believed they would. The wheels came off so quickly there wasn’t even time to cry. It was pure shock. It just wasn’t supposed to end that way. Like you Cyn, I just wasn’t prepared for the Red Sox season to be over. The hardest part for me is that everyone I know wants to rehash the game with me and I don’t even want to think about it. It is going to be a long off season.

Cyn, thanks for this past year of humor and insights you’ve shared with us. For me, yesterday’s events are part of the ebb and flow of baseball and follow a great year of heartfilled play on the field and joyfilled solidarity in the fan base. This has been a great season for all the reasons you outlined most especially: At the end of an ‘ebb’ year, we look ahead to 160 short days from now when, after a well deserved rest, a fantastic conglomeration of talent and heart once again takes up the challenge and we cheer them on. GO SOX !

I admire your guts…I would have been a weepy mess if I had been there. I’m never sorry to be a Sox fan, and I am always grateful for a great season. They give me so much joy each and every year and while this time it ended in heartbreak…it begins again in February with different faces, different memories but always wonderful.

I wouldn’t trade my team for a lifetime of Yankee championships. And, I think the Angels just really had so much heart and something to play for. Its the intangible that gets it done sometimes.

I just wish it wasn’t over so quickly and so abruptly…

On another note, I found it very interesting to read your comment on Dirt Dog, I have had a couple of email back and forths with him in the last few years, and he is nothing short of an angry tyrant, a very rude individual, my question is, why does the globe persist with his brand of inane, angry ‘writing’, there are a thousand Boston blogs better than his out there in the internet-world. Glad to see someone agrees with me on him.

Right on Cyn with the sentiments for who wins this year’s classic. I have to put up with the snide looks and comments all year because I’m the first in eleven generations to leave Cape Cod. And where did I end up – in the hot bed of the Evil Empire. It’s tough to go to Stop and Shop here and stand in line with all those “Super Bowl” sweatshirts. All I ask is that I not have to put up with a bunch of crazies wearing 2009 World Series Winners gear.

Keep it up Cyn – I love your version of reality.

//Every game this team won this year they won together – and they lose together too//
Great comment Cyn, one of the many reasons I come here.

I’m proud to be a Red Sox fan and I’m proud to call you my friend.

Now, when do the Hot Stove rumours start?

Oh, and I’d really love to see an Angels/Rockies WS, not just because the MFYs would be out but also because Selig doesn’t get his Torre/Girardi series.

Tough way to end the season, but this team didn’t seem quite built for the play-offs, I think we all sensed that.

It will only make the winter all the more interesting as we see Theo’s lastest plan un-fold.

I’m sure you said a nice good-bye to Fenway this afternoon.
I thought I was done with baseball for the season but I found myself tuning into TBS at 7 to watch the Twins/Yankee game.
Tough loss today that still has me a bit shell shocked.
