Celebrate good times, come on!!!


2007 World Series Champs!!!!
Let the party begins, get your parade route destination and let the champagne flow like a Rocky Mountain stream. No pun. My boys pulled off another great run to capture their seventh overall World Series Title by sweeping the Colorado Rockies. It was awesome.
Although, I must admit the ALCS wore me out. The World Series was just an after thought because I knew the Rockies didn't have the pitching and the bats to withstand the Red Sox onslaught. After biting my nails and worrying myself to sleep every night during the Indian series, I was emotionally burnt out by the time Beckett threw his first pitch in Game One of the Series.
Now onto real business....The Sox need to resign Lowell immediately before the Yanks can put their filthy paws on him. Do it, Theo. Don't hesitate to think about that punk A-Rod. Let him rot on some mediocre baseball team for the next 10 years and end up like Barry Bonds (Homerun title = no World Series rings). Next make a run at Mariano Rivera. You may not be able to convince him to be a setup man/part time closer, but you can run up the price tag for the Yankees because they can ill afford to lose him. Next, make a move with Coco and maybe a minor leaguer to get a solid veteran starting pitcher. We don't need an ace, we have one in Beckett. What we need is a number 3 or 4 guy. My preference is for a sinkerball pitcher, especially since our infield is so nasty. Lastly, see if Curt wants another run, if so pay him the money to stick around another year. Why not, it's better than the alternative and trying to sign one of the many bad free-agent pitchers who are available. I know there are some rumors about Johann Santana, but let's be realistic. The Sox would have to give up core pieces of this World Series team to do that (Youkalis, Coco, Lester, Ellsbury, etc.) Don't think it's worth it.
So, know I will relish this championship watch the flurry of trade rumors spread like A-Rod's bank account and dream of another chance to see Papelbon's Victory Irish Jig.
