World Series...

My Phillies backed into the playoffs (Thanks Mets!) and then got swept by the CR who at that time and then again in the second round sure looked like a "Team of Destiny”.
No hard feelings. I’m near a NL city so I root for the NL team.
Baseball is IMHO among the capable teams a game of “Hot Team/Cold Team”.
The CR need to get hot again and then stay hot. NOW.
Doesn’t look like they can do it but then again it ain’t over ‘til it’s over.

Boston fans realize that 2004 was a fluke ... Just remember this one name ..... Bill "F" Buckner.

Just found out thatthe package didn't get there in time. Watch the "ring ceremony" for the Sox if they win.

BTW, since it's not "secret" apparently, here's what the whole "deal" is about:

That will be fun to watch, and as I predicted a clean SWEEP!

UGH... well, the Rockies gave it a whirl! Not too bad for a team that ranks 25/30 in lowest team salary ($54,424,000) compared to the Red Sox, which are #2/30 ($143,123,714)...

We were no match for the Sox pitchers, but for the almost $100,000,000 per year salary difference, a team could buy alot of pitching ability!

Great games Sox!

Which tartan did you provide?

I assume it was not a Red Sox special weave.

Now we can focus on the Patriots!

Can some of you Americans explain to a Brit why it's called the "World Series" isn't it just Americans playing..... Did teams from other parts of the world play before ?

**Riverkilt** · 29th October 07, 11:47 AM

that Boston closer pitcher guy did say on the aftergame interview that he was still gonna do the "River Dance"....wonder if that was kilt related??

Think these days its more of a "World" series in terms of where the players come from...Japan, Dominican Republic, etc.

Locals here are glad that the Navajo rookie, Jacoby Ellsbury, had a great series.

If it was all about the $ the Yankees would win every time CR was out hit out pitched all in all out played and to have thier owner go out and say they where the better team was an insult to everybody who knows anything about baseball.
Ok you where out scored 29-10 your team BA was .218 out pitched half of the CR pitchers never got out of the third inning, but you where the better team.....

Apparently he thought it was a "10 game" series!

"These guys did amazing things," Monfort said. "I think this team is a better team than Boston. It would have been nice to have another two, three, four days. We'll wake up tomorrow and go, 'There's no baseball game to go to,' but what a deal they did. It's an amazing thing they accomplished just to get here."

They were amazing, all right. But better than the Red Sox?

"I think so," said Monfort. "How did we win 21 out of 22? We got the breaks. And I think they got the breaks. Are they a better team? I don't think so. You give us 10 games against them, we'll beat them six."
