A Nation Victorious

Thoughts:

1) I am very, very happy right now.
2) Willie Randolph has plenty of time to arrange an interview with the Mets, now. Rumor has it that the Mets are already very high on him, and all it will take is a solid interview to land him the job.
3) With the exception of bringing in Petey last night, Terry Franco did an ungodly job of cobbling together outstanding relief pitching in these past four games.

Links:

1) Check out Bill Simmons' articles from today and yesterday. In fact, go read everything he's ever written.
2) Mike and BigK at East Coast Agony had a running commentary on yesterday's events. Be sure to check out BigK's entries from each of the previous games of the series, they're funny as hell.
3) Alex Belth at Bronx Banter has the short side post-mortem, and is classy as always.

Questions:

1) Does this virtually assure that the Yankees will sign Carlos Beltran and push their payroll into the $230 million range?
2) Does this horrendous Yankee collapse and miraculous Red Sox comeback erase the horror of 2003, 1999, and 1978?
3) Could Rick Peterson fix Derek Lowe?
