There are times when it's really difficult to write about the Red Sox. Oddly enough, most of those times happen when they are doing well. The exact turn of phrase you need to elegantly describe a beautiful pitch or a gorgeous catch or a phenomenal double play can be very elusive. Conveying the detail and the magic of an experience, of a feeling, of an atmosphere... it's maybe the most difficult thing to sort out. When the words won't come, because the occasion is just too wonderful, it's frustrating.
I will never again worry about a word void.
Because after being lucky enough to be there in person at Coors Field, with a few thousand other Red Sox fans, to witness Boston win it all- I've come to realize that it is much worse to have too many words you want to share.
There's so much to say, so much I want to share about the games and the atmosphere and the team and the wins and the trophy and the celebration and the cheers and everything else... it's near impossible to get my arms around. But I'm working on it. I'm working on putting up video from all the celebrations and postgame. I'm working on putting up a photo gallery (thanks to my friend who took gorgeous shots at both games, because I was too superstitious to bring my own camera). I'm working on a complete breakdown of everything I saw on the field- and most especially what went on during the postgame celebrations.
I've got a lot planned for this place, so even though we're now officially in the offseason (gulp!), there's a lot to come. Somehow, though, I don't think that anyone will mind reliving this beautiful year of baseball again.
More (much more) very soon...

I wish I could have been there SO BADLY. I absolutely cannot wait until you get all this up! With the o-word now upon us, I don't know what I'll do until, you know... February. That's MONTHS away. I'm so incredibly happy that we won, even though it still hasn't hit me, but at the same time I'm so sad there won't be any more baseball for a long time.
