As much as it pains me to say it, Congratulations Boston:
DENVER (AP) — Perched high above his raucous teammates, David Ortiz sprayed bottles of bubbly in every direction, dousing everyone in sight, including himself.
Then it was time to deliver a message.
“When you wear Red Sox on your shirt,” he hollered from atop a clubhouse table, “you’re good at something.”
There’s a new monster, and this one’s in Boston, too.
Overwhelming in every way, the Red Sox swept to their second World Series title in four years Sunday night. Jon Lester, Mike Lowell & Co. left little room for drama with a 4-3 win over the Colorado Rockies in Game 4.
Then again, no NL team could have blocked Boston this October.
This was hardly a repeat from 2004, when the Red Sox ended their 86-year championship drought by beating St. Louis. Boston is a major league bully these days, playing in rarefied air before crowds who demand to win.
And win they do, you can’t deny that. Enjoy your time at the top Boston, 2008 is another year.
