...Speaking of great sports rivalries, if you were even remotely tied into the ulitmate American pasttime over the past week, you witnessed undoubtedly the greatest come back in Major League Baseball history. While the Yankees fans chanted phrases like, "Who is your DADDY? ....Who is your DADDY?" " ....and "PPPEEEEDDDRROO, PPEEDDRROO!", the Red Sox nation stood strong. Coming from 3-0 down (which by the way no team in the MLB or NBA has ever accomplished), facing the curse of the Bambino (the trade of Babe Ruth from the Red Sox to the Yankees in 1920), and contesting with their hated rivals, the NY Yankees, who have eliminated them from the playoffs numerous times over the last 84 years, the BOSTON RED SOX came back and demonstrated the heart of a true champion. With nicknames like Deer Piss and Jesus, you gotta love this team!

The BDC is often filled wtih hints of rage over the smallest of minutia. However, this week, let's rejoice in a great victory. If you've ever witnessed a Boston Red Sox fan agonize over a MLB playoff game, you can appreciate the magnitude of this victory. The Red Sox are in their first World Series since 1986, and are on the brink of the their first World Series championship since 1918!! If you have even the slightest AMERICAN PULSE, you will be spending many hours over the next week in front of the TV enoying the pinnacle of Red Sox history......
