Red Sox 6 - Yankees 2

Balance in the universe is restored as Boston sends the MFing Yankees home for the season. Anything else that happens in the playoffs is gravy. 

Like many Sox fans - things got a little dusty for me when Jerry Remy came in to throw the first pitch. For non-Red Sox fans you must understand that Remy has been part of our lives for decades and decades. He's battling cancer and when I saw him I was both saddened and sure that the Red Sox were going to win this game. No way they were going to lose this game.

Also glad to see some Boston bleacher creatures know how to properly celebrate a home run.

National Pizza Day

Today is National Pizza Day and in Boston the above is what many first think of when hearing the word "pizza".

I miss the pairing of Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy.

Jared Remy and Jennifer Martel

Medicine for the dead has a great post about Jared Remy and how he brutally murdered Jennifer Martel.

Not sure if I would lay so much blame on the Remy's for being bad parents but they had to know Jared was a monster. I would have two additional thoughts to add:

1. If what people are saying about Jared Remy's mother getting Jennifer Martel to rescind the emergency restraining order then I hope the Remy's never get to see their granddaughter ever again.

2. Other states like Connecticut have changed their restraining order laws so that they can't be rescinded to help prevent this exact type of situation. Massachusetts should make similar changes.
