World Series...

[Mark Keeney]

Hey Guys,

If you're watching the World Series, root for Boston.

If (WHEN) they win, watch the interviews they do during the "celebration"... you may get a surprising sight (or 4). ;)

Specifically watch GM Epstein, Ortiz, Papelbon and Beckett...

If/When they win post a video here so we can see.

Being from Denver... I really can't. I support my home team. However, I don't think the Rockies will be winning this thing. What a sad showing we're having.

I refuse to ever root for Boston, especially when they are playing against my home team. I sure wish someone would slap some sense back into our pitching staff though. I'd say they've got Apodaca close to apoplectic at this point.

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!

Ron... read this article:

Papelbon (and other Red Sox players) and the guys from Dropkick Murphys are friends. They saw him do his "riverdance" and got the bright idea to slap a kilt on him.

Whatever ones we had on the rack... Royl Stewart, MacQueen, Hamilton, American Heritage.

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 ?

It's US and Canada teams. Also... there are increasing # of players who are coming to baseball from other countries (Japan).

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.

They call it the world series, cause we wonder what in the world all the fuss is about!
