Blubox feels we have released a good portion of the vitriol which accumulated in the aftermath of the Grady Little Debacle.

So, we think it's time to end the incredible 2003 Red Sox season with one last memorable moment.

And that's sharing a post-defeat drink at the familiar Tile Bar in the East Village with those fellow diehards from lockhartsteele.com and slower.net.

And how lucky we were to find a virtually Yankee-free bar with a trenquilo air, a female bartender to nurse our pain with humor and draft beer, and a sympathetic jukebox playing that old Coldplay tune, Everything's not lost.

Perhaps it matters less how the Red Sox break your heart, then who you're with when they do.

Everything is not lost is right.
