If Josh Bard had been traded for Doug Mirabelli, it would have been enough.
If Doug Mirabelli had made it to the game on time (he was in the lineup and out of the lineup till 6:58; his plane landed at Logan at 6:48; he had a police escort to Fenway; he changed in the car and was on the field at 7:13) (here are some cool pictures, thanks to Soxaholix, who are right on as usual this morning), it would have been enough.
If the Sox had scored in the first inning, it would have been enough.
If the Sox had come from behind and tied it in the fifth, it would have been enough.
If they had gone up 4-3 in the 8th, it would have been enough.
If Big Papi had hit a three-run homer, it would have been enough.
If Papelbon had pitched another perfect final inning, it would have been enough.
If the Red Sox had beat the Yankees in their first match-up of the season, it would have been enough.
The look on Johnny Damon's face as he watched the last three Yankee batters go down in order was enough.
[You know it was all only enough because they won, but still, it was a classic.]

Dayenu!
That was excellent. And the whole family gathered warmly around the laptop to see those screenshots of Mirabelli rushing in.
This is hilarious. I'll share it with my son, the asker-of-the-Four-Questions and Red Sox fan.
