Um, Lethe, did you look at the date on my link? It said that a lunar eclipse is coming up on Wednesday, October 27. That was last night. The article was dated Oct. 1, 2004. Last year's October 27 was a Monday. The corresponding Wednesday was October 29. It referred to last year's eclipse only in that we're being treated to two lunar eclipses in a year's time.
Okay, maybe lunar eclipses aren't "extremely" rare. But it's still rare enough in that it happens once every 720+ days by your recollection. And I still consider it rare in that you cannot always see it from every place on Earth, either. So while a part of one hemisphere may be able to enjoy, a big chunk of the remainder of the planet cannot. And, you've gotta admit, that even rarer is the fact that it was going to happen the night that the Sox could win the series. If that's not the stars aligning themselves, then nothing is.
Oh, and it doesn't really matter anymore anyway as the SOX HAVE WON IT!!!!
