Congrats!
The AL won the inter-leauge play in the regular season, the All-star game, and now sweep the NL in the series !!
I hope Teddy Ballgame could somehow enjoy this Redsox team.
What a ride.
cheers

1963T Dodgers in 8s
Pre-war Brooklyn 5s or higher
but here's why I may believe just a little.
The Curse of the Bambino, who wore #3
was ended by Edgar Renteria (who wears
number 3) grounding out to end the game.
The final score of last nights game was 3-0.
Coupled with the fact that the Red Sox beat
Babe's Yanks in a way that has never been done
before, gives me a little bit of the creeps.
started in 1918.
The Red Sox last loss in this years
playoffs to the Yankees was 19-8. One digit off.
As a Cubs fan, I'm very happy for the Red Sox, it shows that the misery can come to an end eventually!
The Cardinals getting swept, priceless!

I just saw an interesting article that noted, with the continued success of wild card teams winning championships, just think how many second place teams of the past might have become world champions if they had the wild card system then.
Where did the Cardinals Big 3 go???? And I wonder if that was the last we see of LaRussa as Cardinals manager.
I think Pujols hit .333 for the series, but didn't hit any homeruns.
Rolen basically came back to earth, because he was playing way over his head all year.
Edmonds, probably should have kept on bunting because I think that's the only contact he ever made all
series.
The Red Sox just pitched these guys perfectly and alot of teams so take note of what they did.
As for weepy LaRussa, I doubt he wants to go out as a manager like this, but I never liked him in the
first place because he managed the White Sux.

<< <i>Rolen was 0-fer-the-series. Even if he did have a career year, no one would have ever imagined him going completely hitless. He was up in a couple scoring situations, too, so he could've made a difference. After that epic Yankees series, though, I'm sure the Sox would've found a way to win. >>
Perhaps Rolen has the Curse of Mike Schmidt. Some people are reluctant to remember that Schmitty was 1-20 in the 1983 WS....

1) All backs must be totally against the wall. Compressed. No wiggle-room. No way out but forward.
2) Invite D. Ortiz to pull the cord back as far as it will go.
3) Load the entire team in the holder.
4) Dave then lets go, while hanging on.
5) Team busts thru NY at Boston, then heads south thru NYC, then hangs a sweeping right that enables the team to zoom past STL.
Congrats Boston!!!!!!!
BOTR
You deserve every bit of it.
Drink a beer for me.

Marc, Do you remember who was batting cleanup behind Schmitty?
It's a wonder he got one hit.......

but lets face it, that was the worst World Series in the last 50 years- just horrible to watch, not entertaining at all, and unexciting to the point of pure boredom. In fact, I almost fell asleep in the seventh inning last night. Thats right- I love baseball, love the Curse of the Bambino, but unfortunately yawned all the way through the last three innings. A disappointment!
St. Louis was an embarrassment to the baseball establishment.
Thank god the Yankees are around to keep the game of baseball interesting!

<< <i>Dave - wasn't it Gary Matthews?

I agree that World Series was the most boring in recent memory. I rooted for the Cardinals (NL man) and they just flat didn't show up. None of the games had any drama whatsoever. Seemed to have so much potential beforehand with two franchises with great tradition. Wonder if we will ever have a Diamondback vs. Devil Rays World Series? Hopefully not anytime soon.
While the 1st game was not great baseball, it was hardly boring. The Sox certainly put an offensive charge into the game to get things rolling and it was no real shock to see the Cardinals chip away at the Red Sox lead. 3 lead changes late in the game. Bellhorn's game winning HR was certainly dramatic.
Schillings gutsy performance in game 2 was amazing. [I didn't need to see the bloody sock quite so much]. If that wasn't drama, what do you want? The Red Sox scored all 6 runs with 2 outs in the inning and no HR. Clutch hitting isn't exciting? After the 1st game, a 6 to 2 lead hardly seemed like a big lead. The Cards can score runs in bunches off the best pitchers.
Game 3 saw Pedro throw the best game I've seen him throw in quite some. He was brilliant against some of the top hitters in the game. Again, all of the Sox runs were scored with 2 out clutch hitting.
Game 4 saw Loew do exactly what Scilling & Pedro had done. Nixon's 2 RBI double was another 2 out hit.
Ortiz, Ramirez & Damon all hit 1st inning home runs to set the tone, but it was clutch hitting up and down the Red Sox order that provided the excitement.
It wasn't that the Cardinal bats didn't show up, they were shut down in games 2-4 by one of the best pitching performances by a staff that I have seen recently in the WS.
Finally, it was looking at the whole playoff picture for the Red Sox. A sweep to open. Down to the last out against the Yanks, and then 4 in a row. IT'S NEVER BEEN DONE IN BASEBALL BEFORE!!! On to the WS and a 4 game sweep to make 8games in a row. IT'S NEVER BEEN DONE IN BASEBALL BEFORE!!!
The playoffs & WS were a total team effort the likes of which I have never seen. Every player made a valuable contribution. If Roberts doesn't steal 2nd, it's over. If Wakefield doesn't suck up the innings in the 19 to 8 blowout, Lowe doesn't start. Look at the composite box score and see what a team effort these wins were.
