The big bad Yankees w/ their massive warchest were assumed to have it in the bag when they were up 3-0. Now, the plucky, determined, never-say-die Red Sox are about to do something that was deemed to be impossible. Throw in Kerry's NE background and some apparent similarities between Rove and Steinbrenner, and the metaphors start running rampant.
It would become really fascinating if, in the Series, the Red Sox were to play a team from the city whose skies W so ably protected in the TANG.
