These Boys have the best record in Baseball. I'm still in awe.

And some updated videos of Youk and Papelbon Dancing - because what I had before was just NOT enough.
If you missed any of the celebration on Friday night (like I did) take a look here and thank Texas Gal from Center Field (especially since I knew Paps was dancing in his underwear but I had no idea there was bare-assed jock-strap partying!!)
Ladies and Gentleman, your 2007 AL East Champion Red Sox
I haven't written sooner b/c I was relishing the moment...because that's all I really got to experience. If you can believe if, I didn't see the Sox or the O's game last night. I was in the car, 20 minutes from home when I got the call that our Boston Red Sox were the Champs! We rushed home to watch what we could of the post-game celebration. It was a very happy, teary, magical moment. Watching the Sox* celebrate will NEVER get old.
It's unfortunate Millar struck out, because it would have been so appropriate for him the one to have won the Game for the O's and help the Sox clinch the Championship...but it was Melvin Mora to the resuce.
Another unfortunate thing? We didn't get to see Manny, Yo-Yo Tavarez, or Drew at the celebration. I guess they most have left? Almost as unfortunate to me is that they interviewed Eric GagME during the celebration and not Jacoby Ellsbury, but who am I to complain?
*Papelbon wins, hands down, the "best of" celebration award. He's a crazy-mo fo and I love it.
