Rocks Swept Under The Rug


The Boston Red Sox proved me wrong by completing a sweep of the Colorado Rockies on Sunday night. Mike Lowell was named MVP, as the Red Sox won their second championship in four years.

The playoff road was similar to their 2004 championship: ALDS sweep, ALCS comeback, World Series sweep. These Red Sox were on their game, doing something that the Rockies could not, getting hits with runners in scoring position. They could not do any wrong.

Shoot, even Ronald McDonald Bobby Kielty got in on the action, hitting a solo shot in the eighth inning, proving to be the winning run.

The thing that sucks for Boston haters is that this team will be good for years to come. They have a solid bullpen, good starting pitching, and guys that can swing the bat. Kind of crazy how it looks like the Yankees are going in the opposite direction (more on that later).

I do not think the Rockies would have faired much better even if they did not have that long layoff... the Red Sox are just that good.

Congratulations to the Rockies for making that improbable run and to Ben Affleck. Your team won! Yeah right, you are a douche Affleck... sit next to me at Angels stadium and we will see how long you last.

I cannot believe JD Drew and Eric Gagne are getting World Series rings. Ah, I just threw up a little in my mouth.

I will miss you baseball, the focus of MLB will shift to awards and rumors.
