AMERICAN SPLENDOR
RED SOX TO REPRESENT AMERICAN LEAGUE IN WORLD SERIES AFTER DEFEATING THE CLEVELAND INDIANS
The Sox cap off their comeback by winning a very tense Game 7, a game I found very painful to watch until the eighth inning offensive explosion. Throughout the first 6 innings, I had a terrible feeling about this game given the squanders in the first few innings. The Indians proved to be insanely tough adversaries, and this entire series was extremely well-fought.
Daisuke Matsuzaka came up huge in the poise department, having zero walks and coming through in the rough situations that he had been struggling in prior to last night. And of course, Dustin Pedroia really should be benched in favor of Alex Cora immediately.
Kudos to Red Sox fans for not rioting last night. (Or, at least I don’t think you rioted; I haven’t had a chance to check CNN.com yet).
Wednesday night: World Series Game 1. ALCS MVP Josh Beckett vs Jeff Francis.
Rejoice! Four more! Wins, that is.
YAY SOX! That was a Hell of a game last night. I was pretty confident of Boston’s lead in the beginning but when Cleveland started to catch up…I have to admit….I lost a little faith.
Feel free to smack me later.
The two run homer more than made up for it and I’m glad to see they came out on top.
Congrats, Sox fans. Roll on Wednesday.
Wait, Cora? Seriously? I don’t get it…
Just a little sarcasm there…early in the season there was a small “2B controversy” when Cora was hitting around .400 and Dustin was under .200. Seems sort of crazy in retrospect.
I forgot to add: my least favorite player in the league is probably Ryan Garko. Something about his facial expressions just rubs me the wrong way.
