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.

There was one guy in the square playing "Tessie" on his harmonica.

I liked that.

Well, that scene was after the World Series win, not the playoffs :-)

It was not at all quiet where I was. :)

Well, that playoff game WAS against the Yankees. To the best of my knowledge, the Sox/Indians rivalry isn't quite as cutthroat :) Although, I'll agree, I could barely hear anyone screaming from my place on Highland! I rushed Fenway with half the city in '04 since I was living downtown back then, I'm sure it was a mob scene there...

We were too scared of being chased out of the Square for smoking.

i heard a little bit of noise from chester street but it was pretty scattered.
i wasn't here for 2004 -- i was at umass amherst -- so i was thinking it'd be something similar here (overturned cars, flaming trash cans, etc)

I had a high school football coach who used to say to us, "Act like you've been here before".

In 2004, vanquishing the Yankees was a fete of monumental significance. Winning the ALCS is nice, but there's work to do.

We've been here before.
