Lester went from his potential death bed to clinching a World Series championship in less than a year. He went from a lack of mental and physical strength to pitching to his full potential in the biggest game of his life. Lester was brilliant."

Feel it again (Surviving Grady) - "Once again, the Red Sox reward my lack of faith with a World Championship, fueled by a relentless offense, tough starting pitching, the mind of Francona, Bobby Kielty's off-the-bench-and-into-our-hearts magic, the movie-of-the-week that is Jon Lester, Ellsbury-n-Elf, and the Mike Lowell Appreciation Society. There were some tense moments -- I'll admit I nearly pissed myself when Jamey Carroll belted that fly ball to left in the ninth -- but it all worked out in the end, the season closing with the familiar sight of the Papel-Bot going ape-sh#t. Big kudos to those fans who brought the Pap puppet to Denver... that thing deserves its own NESN show."

Boston Red Sox: 2007 World Series Champions - (Yanksfan vs Soxfan) - "Just a few random memories of the season at this climactic, joyous moment.  The Mother's Day Miracle.  Buck's no-hitter.  The late-season six-run meltdown against the Yankees.  Josh in the playoffs.  Paps Riverdancing.  There are many, many more.   That's for the next few days. It seems fitting that this season ends with a victory for Jon Lester and a World Series ring for JD Drew as well.  For Lester, who triumphed over a far more trying opponent this past year, this has to have been a monumentally exhilirating experience capped with a moment of immeasurable joy.   And for Drew, who battled public sentiment but also the stresses of caring for a sick child, this has to be redeeming. To those two we offer our heartfelt congratulations, and to the entire team we also say congrats and thank you.  What a year you have given us."

Mom, can we keep him??? (Red Sox Monster) - "Listen, I don't want to talk about Mike Lowell's impending free agency, and I don't want to talk about the Code Red hurl-a-thon it would be to have Alex Rodriguez join the Red Sox. Nope. I want good ol' Mr. World Series MVP at third base for the Red Sox next season, and I'm not taking no for an answer -- even if ESPN is already raising the subject. Do we have to launch a picket? Ruffle some feathers at the duck boat party this weekend? Kidnap Theo Epstein and make him watch reruns of MASH until he comes to his senses and offers a three-year deal? I want answers, and I want them now, Bubba."

Oh to wonder what the feeling must be like.
