Vilification.

Bucky Dent? Assholes.

Vagary.

Is it really happening? No… Wait until the 8th…

Paradigm.

Remember game 6 of the '02 World Series. The Giants' 8th inning collapse. Game 6 of the '03 NLCS. 8th inning. Bartman. Game 7 of the '03 ALCS. Pedro's 8th inning nightmare. Wait until the 8th…

Harbinger.

Goddammit, Pedro! Fuck. Here it comes…

Whimsy.

Petey escaped. Yankees still trail 8-3. Bellhorn just homered.

Denouement.

"The Boston Red Sox are going to the World Series!"

Catharsis.

When the postseason began, I wished for a Red Sox vs. Cardinals World Series, and now that it's almost a reality, I think I'd prefer to see the Red Sox face the Astros. Yankees. Clemens. World Series title drought. How sweet would it be if the Red Sox eliminated all their enemies in one fell swoop like Michael Corleone?

Juxtaposition.
