SO, HOME RUN OR FOUL BALL?

One down, three to go, Red Sox clout 3 homers, beat Yankees, 5-2, in ALCS opener (Dan Shaughnessy, Boston Globe, 10/9/03)

Red Sox fans needn't overreact. Think of this seven-game series as a presidential election. Your candidate just won the New Hampshire primary, but the race is far from over.
Every other paper uses sport's metaphors in political stories.

Boston fans won't truly be happy until this generation's Bill Buckner has been found, about two weeks from now.

Go Cubs and Red Sox! Fair Ball, either fan interference or it did hit the pole.

I think I've got a good line on Cubs' tickets, so I'm really pulling for Red Sox/Cubs.
