Red Skies at Night

Wow. So the Red Sox pulled it off. The biggest comeback in sports history. Meanwhile, the Yankees delivered the biggest choke in sports history. Awesome. Red Sox vs. Redbirds in the World Series, starting tomorrow night. There's already a casualty, after a 21-year-old college student out celebrating the Sox win was hit in the eye by a pepper spray ball and died. Boston Mayor Tom "Mumbles" Menino proclaimed there would be no alcohol sales around Fenway Park; he wisely backed off that bold statement today. No booze at a Boston bar with the Sox in the World Series? You'd really see some riots then.

Memo to John Kerry: When you go to photo ops, there tend to be actual photographers there to document any stupid-looking things you do.
