OK I'm a little late here. I watched three of the four games in glorious high-definition, which made the lack of competition a little easier to accept.
No Wild Card surprise here: the Sox beat down the meek Christian soliders from the National League. The owner of the Rockies whined the day after his team lost the Series and that his team was actually better than Boston's but I guess you can't expect grace and class to extend to all sectors of society. One day he'll learn to keep his mouth shut more often in front of reporters.
I also wanted to post another picture of the looney Sox closer. I hope he never grows up.
Nothing symbolizes the thrill of victory more than the sight of a grown man going looney tunes on national television.
Boston, your closer is NUTS and be happy he's on YOUR side.
Good weekend for baseball, although all these series sweeps kinda deflate my enthusiasm. I don't have a specific rooting interest in any one team so I want to see more baseball action, not less.
I don't do fantasy but the Fantasy 411 podcast on MLB.com is pretty good cause they talk with the best in the business, Will Carroll and Joe Sheehan from Baseball Prospectus. There's nothing like listening to articulate fans shooting the breeze.
Caught Manny's game-ending shot over the Green Monster on Sportscenter late Friday night... is there anyone else in the history of baseball who could showboat at the plate like that and not get nailed with a flurry of beanballs thereafter? Reggie, maybe? Also noteworthy is that it was hit off of K-Rod, who gets pretty animated himself on the mound (people on Yankee-related message boards pointed this out).
