Saw bits and pieces of the victory parade on TV. Papelbon did his dance and used a broom as an air guitar (and also
used it to “row” the duck boat/platform he was on,
especially during the playing of “Dirty Water”). A crowd
that could well surpass the ‘04 celebration (ironically
enough I think it also took place on Oct 30, a Saturday
in ‘04). Many chants of “Re-sign Lowell”, “Yankees Suck”,
etc.

Today’s Herald mentioned that Papelbon was actually ill
during game 4 (”undisclosed illness”) but made it through
(I thought I heard something about “he threw up on the
plane” but I was half listening at the time). He
seemed in good spirits today though.
