Above, as seen outside Sox stalwart bar Professor Thoms. My thoughts almost exactly, though I am trying to set aside a tiny part of my heart to feel happy for Daulerio if the Phillies pull it off. Clarification: a really, really tiny part. [via dear-departed EVE]

Rays fans keep it classy: "According to reports, the incident stemmed from a few fans hazing a concertgoer wearing a Boston Red Sox hat and quickly escalated into a scuffle in the middle of 'Tie Your Shoes' (with one fan even throwing an object onstage that hit the drummer Todd Nance)."

Roger Angell, God bless you: "Boston's comeback is the second-best October turnabout in major-league history, topped only by an eight-run seventh inning by the Philadelphia Athletics in 1929, which won the fourth game and put the White Elephants (as the A's were called then) on their way to a five-game championship win over the Chicago Cubs. That game and inning are well remembered by this writer (who, at nine, could scarcely handle the yard-and-a half-wide sports pages of the time)—especially an inside-the-park homer by Mule Haas."

Simmons: "They always said Red Sox fans would care a little less after we climbed the mountain once or twice, that it wouldn't mean as much, that it couldn't possibly mean as much. That's not true. It will never be true. You either love sports or you don't."

Maybe my favorite TV show moment of all-time. I jumped off my couch screaming. So: to the bar, again, tonight. Let's do this.

My brother took a bunch of great photos last weekend in Maine, including the above and this terrifying Monarch Butterfly attack. (Also: Fenway on Sunday.)

The first time I've been pessimistic about Obama's chances: this.

The Onion: Phish to reunite. What do you think? (Aside: Red Sox to ALCS! Phish reuniting! Seth, where are you? Further aside: though we do have this to give us hope.)

Oxfeld: "Just, you know, a general sort of hedonism."

Angels pitcher John Lackey, class act: "'[On Sunday] they scored on a pop fly they called a hit, which is a joke,' said Lackey, referring to a popup that was misplayed into three runs. '[On Monday], they score on a broken-bat ground ball and a fly ball anywhere else in America [except in Fenway Park]. And [Pedroia's] fist-pumping on second like he did something great.'" Have a great winter, John!

Bill Simmons: "With Manny riding in the other limo, they started telling 'Manny Being Manny' stories, like how Manny routinely stuffed uncashed paychecks in the top shelf of his locker. Seems he rarely got around to cashing them. The checks were for $978,000 every two weeks during the season. (Big Papi knew the exact number because he made a team employee show him one.)"

A-Rod Watch, Pity Poor Tom Brady Edition: "A-Rod was running around the clubhouse asking everyone, 'Are we gonna play? Are we rained out? Are we postponed?' Every few minutes he'd come around and ask his teammates—or anyone else who was around—the same thing."

Matt Harvey: "He's seen the inside of one of those new glass boxes recently—and loves the view. 'That's a beautiful building. I could just sit there and watch traffic all day. Who wouldn't want an apartment like that?'"
