not like 2004

It was so quiet in Davis Square after the Sox won Game 7 tonight. Lots of blue wooden horses sitting around "just in case", a bunch of police cars, but hardly any revelers. Nothing like this scene in 2004.

It's a little different in Amherst. My stepmother taught there in the '80s and remembers sports games triggered a race riot.

I was there for that one, after the Sox lost the 1986 World series to the Mets. Didn't see the actual riot, which was at the other end of campus, and according to friends who witnessed it, was Sox fans vs. Mets fans and had nothing to do with race.
