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"
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
