The Yankees win the pennant! The Yankees win the pennant!

Wow.

Unfucking believable. You simply can't kill the Yankees. Whether it's the A's, The Diamondbacks, or the Red Sox, the Yanks just won't lose in the House that Ruth Built.

I'm exhausted. I'm happy. What is it about this whacky game?

But hats off to the Red Sox. It was like the freakin' Illiad this year, Hector versus Achilles, with the baseball gods looking on and weighing in every once in a while. They were more than a worthy opponent. They made the Yankees a better team. And vice-versa.

And Mariano Rivera. Incredible. And Pedro Martinez. Amazing heroics, but the tank was empty in the eighth. Everyone knew it.

"The game is the same. It's just up on another level."
