Red Sox nation on parade

PARADE UPDATES: Pitchers Curt Schilling, Pedro Martinez, Derek Lowe, and Tim Wakefield are waving to the crowd and holding signs saying "Idiots Rule". They are signing hats and other gear that fans are throwing to them. The roaring crowds along Boylston Street are huge, at least 10 to 12 deep. On board one duck boat are World Series MVP Manny Ramirez, DH David Ortiz, shortstop Orlando Cabrera, first baseman/outfielder Kevin Millar, and first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz. The boat behind them is carrying GM Theo Epstein and manager Terry Francona.
