Congrats Red Sox

Congratulations Boston Red Sox fans as your team became the 2007 World (U.S.A./Toronto) Champions. The Red Sox were clearly the best team in baseball all season and showed it by sweeping the Rockies. It is nice to see a General Manager put a real team together. Now, I hope Josh Beckett returns to being Bombs Away Beckett.

Other News:

A-Rod choose to opt out of his contract Sunday night. I think this was such a scumbag move by a selfish human being in an attempt to steal some of the press from the Boston Red Sox. Phillies fans, don't get excited, A-Rod would never be pursued by the Phillies or want to come here in a million years. I don't want him either. I think he is a classless pre-madonna that would just die here in Philly.

Also, Phillies fans, do not get excited that the Red Sox will go after A-Rod. Theo Epstein has already stated that he wants to re-sign the World Series MVP, Mike Lowell. Even if A-Rod went to Boston, we'd have to compete with the New York Yankees for Lowell. If history hasn't shown you, we do not get into bidding wars.

Other news on the Yankees front is that they will hire Joe Girardi will be hired as the next New York Yankees manager. It has also been reported that Mariano Rivera will actively test the free-agent market.

Like I said, don't get too excited.
