The Red Sox completed another stunning ALCS comeback tonight & defeated the Cleveland Indians, 11-2, to capture the American League pennant. They face the Colorado Rockies in the World Series on Wednesday in rockin' Fenway.
Who am I kidding? I'm so fucking happy I can barely speak, never mind type. I called a couple of friends of mine at the final out & all I could say was "Oh. my. God. Omigod. Omifuckingod."
Josh Beckett was just announced as the MVP - he deserves it with his 2-0 ALCS record and the dominance he's shown in both rounds. But this award could have easily gone to Kevin Youkilis or Dustin Pedroia, who both stepped up immensely when Ortiz and Ramirez cooled off. But maybe the real MVP is manager Terry Francona, who not only kept this team focused and confident when it was on the brink of elimination, but made all the right moves at the right time.
The season continues and the Sox are four wins away from another World Series title. Goddamn.
