If I wasn't a Red Sox fan I'd agree. I had a "feeling" in '04 that they'd sweep the Cardinals, but I'm somewhat surprised they did the same to this good Colorado team.

There'll be tons written about the Series in the next few days but it boiled down to two things for Boston - their outstanding pitching and EVERYONE in the lineup pitched in to make their hitting count more than the Rockies'.

Wait till next year, when they get A-rod.

Looking for a banning?

Mike Lowell!

And the MVP is...... GTFOH! Lowell? Really?? Guess I didn't watch enough... don't even know what he did!

That is what you get hitting 400

The Sox will probably have their reign for a while as the Yanks regroup... but going forward, hopefully a Braves-type run (of not much to show for it)

Batting Average is just ONE thing -- granted, I have NO idea whatsoever what he did during the season... if he drove in tons of runs, fine. If he hit game-winning hits a few times, fine. If he actually, single-handedly, caused 2 or 3 of the last 4 games turn into wins for the Sox, then fine.

I don't know if he did or didn't do that.

Maybe he was MVP for one game...but I have a feeling he wasn't THE most "valuable" player the past 4 games. But I'd have to check the box scores to see for sure....

It'll be very interesting to see if the Sox re-sign Lowell... I hope they do. On the other hand, it'd be nice to see them get ARod.

I figured you'd wanna be successful in the postseason...

I know what you're saying, but you still gotta get to the post-season first. If he'd signed with the Sox as he was supposed to have a few years back, he'd already have 2 rings.

yes red sox win!

Congratulations Red Sox!

Congrats to SC and Red Sox fans.

You have to hand it to the new group of owners.
Two World Series in what is it six years since they took over?

And it looks like over 30 thousand people will get money back on what they bought last March & April.
Free food for others. Others will cry till next spring.

Congrats SC.

Why is that Geoff?

Though not quite as high, I liken Papelbon's jump to when Brooks Robins lept in the air after the 1966 World Series win.

Lowell is kind of a strange choice for MVP. He was on fire, but so was Padroia. I would have given it to Beckett.

Congrats to SC and all the other Red Sox fans out there.

It's good to be a Boston-area sports fan these days.

SC, congrats to you and your team. They played well all season, and I'm glad for you that your dire "September" predictions didn't come to pass.

Yes, but at a cheaper price than NY's second place finish and first round exit.

Congratulations, SC. The Red Sox earned this championship. It was nice to see that tandem of rookies blend so nicely with the veterans in the lineup. Kind of reminded me the last time theyhad two outstanding rookies (Lynn and Rice) help get them to the series in '75. Only Rice didn't get to play much because that was before the WS allowed for the DH.

Congrats to Lowell for MVP. It's usually very hard to pick an MVP in a 4 game series, but he was as good as anyone.

Pitchers and catchers report 2/19/08.

At least they spent the money and won, that's all I'm saying. Unlike my Mets and your Yankees, the Red Sox can consider it money well spent.

Being that the year 2000 is technically part of the last century and millenium, I guess the Sox are the team of the this decade, and this millenium, so far.

21st Century stats:

Red Sox - 2 championships

Diamondbacks: 1 championship

Marlins: 1 championship

Angels: 1 championship:

White Sox: 1 championship

Cardinals: 1 championship

Yankees/Mets: 0 championships

CONGRATULATIONS to SC and his 2007 World Champion Boston Red Sox!


I'm happy for you SC!

No shock you had nothing constructive to say. It's not the end of the world man, don't commit suicide quite yet.

Congrats Red Sox! How sweet it is huh?

Ahh, you're just pissed because the Yankees spent more and didn't do as well. Maybe next year. Probably not.

Thanks to all those for the congratulations. Its always great to see your team win it all, but quite frankly, this year's triumph was not as satisfying as I thought it'd be.

The Sox, my team, has a great group of players and a wonderful future in front of them. I'm just getting disgusted with the game itself.

I suspect when spring training starts I'll feel differently. I hope so.

Belated Congrats SC. The Sox did have a well balanced team. What will the winter bring?

This Series did have a lack of fire. 4-0. Sweeps are boring. Maybe it was the Rockie factor. On the East Coast, who cares about the Rockies. The only interesting thing about the their team is Matt Halliday.

Your disgust with the game is shared by many. Professional sports in general is in a state of decay. On TV, "the game" has taken a back seat to "entertainment" and technology. The game is over-analyzed, over-slo-mo-video, over-disected.

I'm tired of all the commentaries between hits. It's all about hyping their broadcasters. And do we really need to see an instant replay of a swing we just saw 15 seconds ago.

I'm with Geoff on getting rid of female broadcasters. They're just there for the boob factor. What exactly does Jeanie Zelasko have to do with baseball?

Looks like I'm not alone with my disgust of tv's coverage of the game.

I enjoy Tim McCarver's style - he's knowledgable and funny, but the rest of the staff killed the Series with blah, blah, blah. The most annoying part of the Series was those interviews with the managers while the game was being played. Too much talk!!
