Great job by the Sox, it was a long long year, 2 championships in 4yrs is a great accomplishment this day in age. The Rox were in over their heads and it was proven in this series.

Woo! Sox win!!!!
Though, was I the only person who through the call when they won on Fox was a little lacking? I somehow remember it being far more enthusiastic in '04 -- but this time it was just blah.
Good show! :beer:

It's blah because it is so anticlimactic. I am stoked that they won...but really, I wanted more of a contest....

It was good to see that the rocky fans, like the indian fans admitted defeat before the end by waving those white flags.

Excellent post. Whose idea was it to give the fans towels, so they could throw them in? Or weep into them?

Ahhh the crying towels, thats why teams like NYY and Sox are in a class of their own, they dont change their logos, or emblems or have towels waving around during games, they dont need too they are in a class of their own.

Cmon now granted it would have been great to see them win at home for the 1st time in 89yrs but you cant get greedy, did you really want them down 3-1 type drama like with Cleveland? A sweep is just as nice, shows they are head and shoulders ahead of the NL.

Worst of all were the foam tomahawks and corresponding chant of a team that I'm so glad not to have seen in the playoffs lately, I'm not even going to mention their name.
Congrats Sox fans...you had the best team this season.
Piss poor World Series though...boring and not entertaining at all.
Colorado did not belong.

I dunno about that, it's not the first time a really good team has flopped in the World Series. Not to mention Hall of Fame individuals who have flopped.

I totally agree with that, they were 1 pitch away from not even making the playoffs numerous times, they were way in over their head and we probably wont even see them in the playoffs in the near future.

Red Sox keep World Series MVP Lowell with three-year deal

Mike Lowell and the Boston Red Sox agreed to a three-year, $37.5 million deal Monday, ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney reports.
Lowell
Both sides have been in intense negotiations all Monday. According to ESPN's Peter Gammons, both the Phillies and Dodgers were apparently willing to go to four years, but Lowell wants to remain in Boston.
Lowell followed a superlative regular season -- career highs in batting average (.324) and RBIs (120) to go with 21 home runs in 154 games -- with an outstanding October. In Boston's four-game sweep of Colorado, Lowell hit .400 (6-for-15) with four RBIs, three walks and a team-high six runs in winning the World Series.
He homered, doubled and scored twice in the Game 4 clincher at Denver's Coors Field en route to being named the World Series MVP.
Lowell, who made $9 million last year, was selected by the Yankees in the 20th round of the 1995 amateur draft. He played eight games for New York in the 1998 season before being dealt to the Florida Marlins in February 1999. He was acquired by Boston from Florida in November 2005 in the Josh Beckett trade.
Lowell's teammates and fans made clear that they wanted to see him back in Boston -- and urged them not to pursue Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, who became a free agent before deciding to return to New York.
"Forget about A-Rod. We've got Mike Lowell in the house," Ramirez yelled out during the team's victory parade through Boston.
Lowell, 33, had initially pushed for a four-year deal with the Red Sox.

The Lowell signng is great news.
I told my kids to NOT take this time for granted. My dad never saw a Red Sox championship.
The next day, son #3 brought me newspaper (The Metro from the commuter rail) with the headline "Twice in a lifetime".
That first championship (for me anyway) in 04 was certainly more memorable. It also healed the Billy Bukner wound I've had since 86.
Thank You Red Sox!
(one more thing to be Thankful for this Thanksgiving!)
