Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Fuck You You Pieces Of Bird Shit! Sox! Sox! Sox!
So… wait. What do you do when your team wins the world series?
Strange. It seems kind of anti-cimactic. I guess because it was such a boring series.
I’m okay with that.
This had to be the most undramatic and boring Series ever. At least in the 40+ years I’ve been watching them.
Does this mean that the sun won’t rise tomorrow?

Theo Epstein said to go and get drunk. 
Ok, you can shut the fuck up about the curse and the Yankees buying World Series.
Boston bought this one.
True. The real drama was the Sox besting the Yankees. Truly a remarkable feat afetr being down 3-0.
But the wonderfull thing is that not only do we not have to hear about the curse anymore, the Sox will unfurl their WS Champs banner in front of the visiting Yankees in April.
NEENER NEENER NEENER!!!
For there’s rampant joy in Soxville
Hell froze over! Cards are out!
<sigh> Daddy’s very unhappy. Oh well, the Sox were the better team in this series, and they deserved to win. Congratulations to Boston.
Classy.
Yes, it will. In the West.
Thank God and God everyone will stop talking about that collective piece of idiocy known as “The Curse”.
edwino’s law of conservation of good baseball:
The Quantity (Q) of Good Baseball in a season is conserved.
With 2 great LCSs and a few great DCSs, you can’t expect a good Series. And, as a corollary, because the Sox finally managed to pull one out, of course it is going to stink as bad as any in the past 86 years.
At least they smote the Cards.
(Astros fan)
Hmm. To get to the Cards(~$83m), the Sox (~$125m) beat the #3 payroll (~$100m) and the #1 payroll (~$180m). So they may have bought their way to the playoffs, and bought their way through the World Series, but they earned their victory in the divisional and league championship series (with Manny and Pedro being the difference between the Cards’ payroll and the Sox’, which sounds about right).
If you want to say that MLB’s financial structure is screwed up and inequitable and should be fixed I’ll say damn straight.

That’s nice.
Now let’s take up the White Sox and what has befallen them since Urban Faber beat the Giants three times, and Heinie Zimmerman chased Eddie Collins to the plate to score the winning run in the last Series game played in 1917.
And then stop across town at Waveland Avenue.
As for anyone who said the 2004 Series was “boring”–sour grapes! Perhaps you mean it wouldn’t have been boring had the Yankees been in it. I seem to remember a post a while back claiming that championships “belong” in New York.
You gotta admit, the Cards didn’t put up much of a fight…
As I don’t yet see post-Series recognition of RickJay, who has graced these forums repeatedly with his assertions that it is impossible for the Red Sox to ever win a World Series, and quite recently posted this gem:*
Likelihood of winning:
Atlanta: 19%
Anaheim: 17%
New York: 17%
Houston: 15%
St. Louis: 14%
Los Angeles: 10%
Minnesota: 8%
Boston: 0%*
For you, Rick:
Phthththbbbbbpt.
And may your Blue Jays some day rediscover the ability to finish above the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the standings.
