The State of Massachusetts.

The Boston Red Sox have, for the second time in four years, won the World Series.

This organization has battled so many demons, and lost.  Been face to face with the dragons of adversity, and been set ablaze.  Has taken the homecoming queen to the prom, and gone to the after party with heartbreak.

And now --

All I could think about was this:

"Crom!  I have never prayed to you before.  I have no tongue for it.  No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought and why we died.   All that matters is that today two stood against many.  Valor pleases you, Crom.  So grant me this one request.  Grant me REVENGE.  If you do not listen,  then to HELL with you.  I'll do it myself."

This is what revenge is.  Winning.  Winning, when everybody hates you.  Winning, when nobody thinks you can.  Winning.  This is what revenge feels like.

Feels good.
