Red Socks RULE!

2004 World Series
Boston def. St. Louis, 4-0

I would pout if I could, but Boston deserved the championship. Better luck next year, Cardinals ... but you are going to have to get past the Cubs first!

: )

I have found 3 reasons to root for the new world champs:

1. Manny Ramirez (a.k.a. Man-Ram). I could watch the replay of him missing that ball while kicking up a divot before doing a face plant in left field in Game 2 ALL NIGHT, and it would NEVER cease to make me laugh out loud! Bottom-line, though: The guy can hit. And throw. WTF, he goes from being on the trading block to being the Series MVP!

2. Hearing these words uttered behind me whilst I was standing in line for hot dogs and a Coke at the concessions stand (obviously from a Boston fan; I am writing this as phonetically as I can): “It’s gonna be a low-scahrin’ squeakah ... the Cahds are gonna get somethin’ goin’!” I could see myself moving to Boston JUST so I could pick up that accent!

3. My mom calls them the Red Socks in our AOL chats. For some reason, I just LOVE that! (I think she pluralized them as Red Soxs a time or two. She is so charming sometimes ... espec. since she agreed to root for the Cubs next season!)
