Remember that scene in the Princess Bride when Westley is captured by Prince Humperdink... and they torture him within an inch of his life... and then Andre the Giant and Inigo "You kill my father, prepare to die" Montoya save him in his near lifeless state, get the secret potion from Billy Crystal, and Westley slowly comes back to life to the awe of Andre when Westley notes "I've always been a fast healer, Fezzik." Well, it's not so much a scene as it is half the movie, but that right there is the embodiment of the 2009 Boston Red Sox. Just when we think they're dead and lose 6 critical division games in August, they come back to life, outwit the Sicilian, kill the 6-fingered man, and save the Princess.... and you know I mean it when I inexplicably compare the local nine to some 80's flick. INCONCEIVABLE!!!

That right there just makes my day.
You admit to watching The Princess Bride.......?
This word...I don't think it mens what you think it means...
The Princess Bride is an incredible movie. Fruity title, but still brilliant and hilarious.
also, what word, Tom? We make up new words, and change the meaning of existing words. We have that power here at the Cheese.
oh, ha. you were speaking in reference to Vizzini. i thought it was a jab at my language/ blogging skills. which would also be justified, seeing as where they're non-existent.
"you have a dizzying intellect."
"Wait until I get going!"
What's Vizzini? Or who?
