Root, root, root for my home team!

From an email forward going around...

The moon slipped into the earth's shadow at 5:52 a.m. in the second total lunar eclipse of 2007. The plunge into darkness was evident at Woods Hole, where a sliver of the moon stood out next to the Nobska Lighthouse.

Baseball fans will remember the lunar eclipse of Oct. 27, 2004 -- when the moon glided through the earth's shadow and turned a prophetic shade of red. It was the night the Red Sox won the Word Series for the first time since 1918.

Tonight, the Red Sox start a three-game series in the Bronx against the Yankees, the reigning division champs that have won the American League East nine straight seasons.

This year, Boston has an eight-game lead. And a lunar eclipse.

...and apparently an excerpt from the Boston Globe.

Good grief, you're a SCIENTIST!

You're not supposed to believe in this hogwash.
