I watched. I missed McCain so it was a nice night. I had planned to root for the Yankees but found myself pulling for the D'backs from game one. As an Astros fan, I was pulling for Gonzales.

Don't be too hard on Clemens. Apparently for a ball-player, he's a workaholic and instilled that work-ethic in Schilling.

What I really enjoyed about the series was not being emotionally involved with either team and just enjoying it all. I only watch baseball during the World Series.

Congratulations! Haven't heard the morning news but assume people out there didn't burn the town down. When the Rockets won the basketball championship, not one car or building in Houston was burned. Not even one rock was thrown. I've never understood why "losers" who have nothing to do with anything, riot after a win they didn't contribute to.

No one burned the town down. Fans were well behaved. Just a few very minor incidents. A reveler fell from a second story balcony at one of the bars. Mace was used at one point because crowds were pushing too much near a police barricade. That's all I heard.

It's the very first professional championship for this young state! We realize the Yanks gotta quite a few more rings under their belts!

NY media making a big deal about the 'rioting' in Arizona last night. Anyone have the real scoop?

Hi lonestar!! As of this morning, the only "incident" reported in the post-game revelry was some drunk chick falling off the balcony at a sports bar.

I'm proud to say that the Diamondbacks crowd--both inside the stadium & those watching the game outside the stadium on Jumbotron--were well-behaved and simply giddy with delight. We have our share of scumbags in Phoenix, but thankfully they all stayed away from the game last night.
