I just hope the MLB does the right thing next year and have the first game of the season be Red Sox ring/banner night.
Last 4 champs before this year opened on the road. Red Sox in 2005 opened AT YANKEE STADIUM! 2008- freaking Japan against Oakland.
Props to Bill for getting the series prediction dead right!!! :upWorld Series prediction- Red Sox in 6.....split the first 2 at Fenway....Sox take 2 out of 3 in St. Louis...and the Red Sox finally win it all in front of the home fans.
MVP- Xander Bogaerts - why? Because he's 21, and has ice water running through his veins!!
-Bart Giamatti"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone."
David Ortiz will be on Letterman Monday night.
Yep. Thanks. If it wasn't for you, the Dodgers would have never made it to the NLCS.Thanks guys!!
It appears that some are calling David Ortiz "Mr. October", a name that was given to Reggie Jackson and Reggie doesn't like it ...

Quit your crying mr jackson, that was about 40 years ago and Mr. Ortiz's numbers are BETTER than yours over about the same time frame.
