What the hell was all that screaming?
Just kidding. Obviously there's not much we can say that won't be said 6 zillion times on every website everywhere, but there is a "we're frickin awesome" vibe wafting through the air in Boston today, made even awesomer by the lovely weather.
Now that we think about it, this probably means death and decay are at our doorstep. But anyway. A few items:
With absolutely no forethought, the instant Foulke tossed that ball like a little girl to end the game, Girl-E grabbed her jacket, marched outside, down to the river, across the BU bridge, and up Commonwealth Avenue, joining a spontaneously formed river of people on Comm Ave who were actually mostly just walking, like the rats to the piper, towards Kenmore Square (where Fenway is, for you out-of-towners). While many of the tens of thousands of people who ended up there at 12:30am were jumping and screaming like the idiots they love, a majority were just there to watch them do so. We have a feeling the riot police only blockaded the street and pushed every one back down Comm Ave at one o'clock because they had had a long day and decided it was time for everyone to go home.
Overheard while standing in Kenmore:
College girl with college girl friends: "I just called my brother and I swear to god he was CRYING!!!" "Omigod that is so CUTE!!"
Drunk frat guy with shirt buttoned wrong, into his cellphone: "Dude, I don't know what's going on, but I just got maced. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
Fireman on duty, to other fireman on duty: "86 years, huh".
College guy to other college guy, pointing up the hill: "Dude, Fenway's right there." "Wha? Where?"
Bryan to Girl-E: "Not to ruin this for you, but the other riot was way better."
Girl-E to Bryan: "Hey, can you get a picture of that girl in the wheelchair?"
