World Series!! Sox v. Rockies
Congrats to all the Boston guys here on the Board.  Your guys show a lot of heart and guts coming back from 3 to 1 down. They could have folded, but instead they looked awesome taking 3 in a row from the Indians, clobbering some pretty outstanding pitchers along the way! Not to mention great performances from Beckett, Schilling, and Dice-K.
Bring on the the Rockies, a sizzling hot team this past month! Should be a great series!!

JB I've often wondered this, not taking the pi$$, how many teams from other countries play in this world series?

Should be a great series. I hope I am recovered from this game by the time it starts. There was already snow in Denver recently. Very unseasonably warm here in Boston area.

Japan was well represented last night. Latin America players are all over the league. The best baseball players in the world are playing.

Tickets
Colorado can't even sell their tickets because computers are down.
People are camped outside Fenway Park in line waiting for last minute tickets to be released. They will be sleeping in line on the side walk for a few nights. I don't think I could ever do this to buy a ticket. Most of the seats at Fenway are tiny anyway.
Go Red Sox!

It was named World Series because it was originally sponsored by a newspaper called "World News" or something similiar....that's how it got it's name.

That is true, but just look at any team's lineup today. The best players from all over the world come to the US to prove that they are the best, and to get the biggest paychecks.
In the Red Sox win yesterday, the starting pitcher was from Japan and so was the guy who relieved him. There are players from Japan, Korea, China, Australia, Cuba, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Panama, Venezuela, Colombia, Bermuda, Puerto Rico, Aruba, and Canada.
Over 44% of professional baseball players in the US major and minor leagues come from foreign countries! That sounds pretty international to me!!

Which is about $3600 USD!  OMG, who'd have ever thought the once might dollar could fall so low!  And the end is not yet in sight.

The home field advantage in Colorado:thinner air.... the SOX won't be able to breath. Then when the Rockies go to Boston...richer air which will make them super human.

Wakefield not being on the Sox roster due to injury is disappointing. He has been on the team for a long time.
Ellsbury starting CF will be nice.
Wonder if Ortiz will start 1st base in Colorado.

Jays fans have little love for the Sox or the Yankees.
Better luck next year

Yea, but I'm an American League guy too. Could I ever root for the Yankees? NO. You're right, he is a lying POS.
(I don't want this to get into politics BUT... everyone of these Republicans is a lying POS and I say that as a proud Irish Catholic boy from Boston)
