What is there to say? You know, other than that Jamey Carroll scared the crap out of me.
In my lame attempt to be objective, I kept finding reasons for this team to fail. The Rockies were impossibly hot. Coors Field is the ultimate equalizer. Youks is forced to the bench. Ortiz is forced to the field. Colorado is a different team at home. Our 3 and 4 starters are too fly-bally (yes, fly-bally) for that “rarefied air.” Maybe I subconsciously wanted the Sox to stumble a little just so they could win it at Fenway.
This team would have none of it, and won an extremely well-earned championship. Coming back down 1-3 against Cleveland was obviously no small task, and Colorado put forth an incredible effort that wasn't reflected in the 4-0 outcome of the series. This was no ordinary sweep. Game 1 was a blowout, but the remaining three were all close contests that Boston had to fight tooth-and-nail to win.
On a final note, Lowell had a great series, but how does Papelbon not win the MVP?

Congrats on the World Series - I actually watched some of it (mainly because I wanted to see baseball in HD)!
Because he's a relief pitcher.
I'd give it to Okajima. He's a stud.
