My Comments: No sweep for Boston in this World Series, disappointing but as long as there is a championship for the Red Sox at the end, I'll be happy. Another homerun for David Ortiz - how many will he have in the series? Now it is off to St. Louis for Boston and let's get a "mini-series" sweep!

My Comment: One down and three to go! Looking for another sweep of the Cardinals in this World Series. Glad the Red Sos offense was great in combination with the poor defense of the Cardinals. Opposing teams have had an unusually hard time in Fenway Park in the postseason. Whatever helps Boston to another championship works for me!

World Series 2010

The fifth (and final) game of the 2010 World Series has produced a champion. Although I was not rooting for them, the San Francisco Giants have won the World Series Championship. My condolences to the Texas Rangers - I and other Boston Red Sox fans were supporting you in your first appearance in a World Series. The Boston Red Sox maintain their current position of being the only two-time World Series Champions in the 21st century. The result of the World Series is as follows:

Wednesday 27 October 2010-SF Giants 11, Texas Rangers 7
Thursday 28 October 2010-SF Giants 9, Texas Rangers 0
Saturday 30 October 2010-Texas Rangers 4, SF Giants 2
Sunday 31 October 2010-SF Giants 4, Texas Rangers 0
Monday 1 November 2010-SF Giants 3, Texas Rangers 1

San Francisco beat Texas four game to one out of the seven game series. The Giants scored a total of twenty-nine runs over the five games; while the Rangers scored a total of twelve. The total number of runs scored in the series was forty-one and the Giants had 70.73% of those runs, while the Rangers had 29.27%.

2009 World Series Championship Ends Today

The sixth (and final) game of the 2009 World Series has produced a champion. It is my non-pleasure to write that the New York Yankees have won the WS championship. And the Philadelphia Phillies do not repeat as World Series champions. My utmost condolences to the Phillies and their fans - Boston was on your side. Although the result was not the one for which I (and others) had been rooting, the Boston Red Sox do maintain their current position of being the only two-time World Series champions in the 21st century. May the Red Sox uniqueness continue and only improve with a third Boston WS championship - perhaps in 2010, just to finish off the first decade with a winning tone. As for the New York Yankees - see you on Monday 5 April 2010 and the fun can begin again!

2009 World Series Championship Begins Today

Today, weather permitting, the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Yankees will play game one of the 2009 World Series in Yankee Stadium. The Phillies defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Yankees defeated the Los Angeles Angels in their respective league championship series to advance to the World Series. No Freeway series for LA. If it were possible, I would not want either the Yankees or the Phillies to win the series. Not wanting the Yankees to win is a given, but I don’t want the Phillies to win because they would tie the Boston Red Sox in having two World Series Championships in the twenty-first century. However, since having the Phillies share in the two World Series Championship accomplishment means that the Yankees would still not have a championship in the twenty-first century, is an outcome I can support. Therefore – Go Phillies, sweep the Yankees!!!

Note: It was two years ago today (in a four-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies) that the Boston Red Sox won the 2007 World Series Championship; their second championship this century!

Happy Fifth Anniversary Boston Red Sox!

Five years ago today the Boston Red Sox broke their seemingly never-ending, angst-ridden, curse-filled, eighty-six year old World Series Championship drought by shutting out the St. Louis Cardinals 3 to 0 in the fourth game of the 2004 World Series. It was this four game sweep against the Cardinals that swept away decades of frustration for the Red Sox and brought unbelievable happiness to their devoted fans throughout the world Think back to where you were that historic moment when the final out was made and allow yourself to re-experience those emotions for a bit today. I know I will. Today I will play the DVD of the fourth game and remember the place (my favorite New England sports living bar) where and the people (Nora, JP, Lisa, Mike, et. al.) with whom I shared this marvelous, long-awaited experience. So, cheers and happy anniversary to the Boston Red Sox and their fans – 2004 was just the beginning!!
