... and that's the game!!!!

BOSTON RED SOX

2007 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS

That's right Boston won the 2007 World Series last night with a 4 game sweep against the Colorado Rockies who came into this series wining 21 of 22 games! Thanks to big hitters like John Lester and Bobby Kielty who both smashed home runs to light the fire for the Sox's. Then you have to give credit where credit is due. To close the game out than Papelbon #58 striking out Rocky- Seth Smith with a 94 mph fastball for a fantastic finish. Then Papelbon threw his glove in the air, threw his hat, and held his arms out for "Captain" Catcher Jason Varitek #33 and picked him up while Jason put his hand in the air letting the Rocky fans know who was really number one!!! Then a rush of Red Sox bombarded the mound one on top of the other to congratulate one another.

What a great finish for the Red Sox. Destroying the Rockies with a 29-10 over four games, and winning 8 consecutive World Series games and topping the 2007 Playoffs off with seven straight wins! And what a story- Who would of ever thought that the wild card team of 2004 would come and break down the "Curse" even after an 86 year dry spell, then comeback and win it for a second time in four seasons. I think they are trying to make a statement!!

And a huge one at that!!
