Not even a piece like this can dampen the joy of Red Sox fans this morning.

FWIW this is the third year in a row that the WS was won by a wild card team. Which surely doesn't sit well with Bob Costas if you've read his 1990 book "Fair Ball".

The division title in baseball is quickly losing value.

The spirit of Babe Ruth was channeled last night, and here is what the Bambino had to say:

Oracle:Are you there Babe? Can you hear us?!

Ghostly Voice:Yesssss I can heeeaaar youuuuuu

Oracle:Why have you lifted the curse upon the Red Sox Babe?

Ghostly Voice:So they can lift the OTHER curse that is upon them!

Oracle:What OTHER curse? Is there another?

Ghostly Voice:Yesssss...it is a spirit of lies, deceit and betrayal named JOHN KERRY! It MUST be exorcised from public life!

Oracle:Say what? Is this really Babe Ruth?

Ghostly Voice:Of COURSE it's me...now honor the Red Sox, and vote for GEORGE W. BUSH!

Oracle:Funny, you sound a little like Karl Rove...

Ghostly Voice:Noooo it's not me! (heh! heh! did you hear that Mitt? They know my voice that good up here?)

But JFake will do his best to do that:
He'll misquote the score,
He'll misname the winning pitcher,
He'll swear that the memory of being right there at Fenway (or was it at Lambert) to watch them win is seared in his brain.

btw, congrats to the Sox and their fans.
