Congrats to the Red Sox

I'm very happy for the Boston Red Sox - and their fans - although I was pulling for the Cardinals. Do you think there were any cars on the Mass Pike this morning? Nope, me neither. I'm assuming it's a city holiday today.

Anyway, here are a few quick observations from the series:
1. You need great pitching AND great hitting to win. Boston had both, the Cardinals had neither.
2. Tim McCarver is the WORST color commentator in all of baseball. Why he's on the air is a mystery.
3. Has anyone been swept more times in World Series history than Tony LaRussa? That's twice now, first in 1990 and again this year.
4. This was the worst World Series I've ever witness. Very dull with terrible defense and base running.
5. The Boss will spend sooo much money this offseason it will make your head spin. He'll pay Beltre a ton of money even though they don't need him. He'll over pay for starting pitchers, possibly signing Pedro and Derek Lowe. He'll be over $200 million in salary and will win 89 games. Not a very good return on investment.
