Since this would have been said had the Yankees have won it all this year, I'll be the first to say it about Boston: "They bought their championship"
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.
