Way To Go, Red Sox

                           

TWIT would like to congratulate the Boston Red Sox on winning the 2007 World Series.  The Red Sox swept the series against the Colorado Rockies to win their second title in just four years.  It seems just like yesterday when the Sox won the title in 2004 and ended their 86 year championship drought.  The Bo Sox were definitely on a roll - after trailing Cleveland 3 games to 1 in the AL championship series, the Red Sox won seven straight games and captured their seventh World Series crown.

It was a short but exciting World Series.  The Red Sox had 18 doubles in the four games - one shy of the record; there were 8 alone in game 2.  If that's not excitement, I don't know what is.  With this World Series only lasting 4 games, it meant that we only got to hear 4 versions of the National Anthem.  For the record, I will say that Trisha Yearwood's version at last night's game was the best version I think I've ever heard.

Congratulations, Red Sox.  You've made Boston and the rest of the country proud.
