For some dear reason I found myself to be a very big fan of the Boston Red Sox. I live in the Chicago area, but I have been a Red Sox fan for a very long time now. My friends get on me all the time, I am supposed to drool over the Cubs, yeah I know, but for some reason, I can’t get enough of Big Papi, Coco Crisp, and Manny Ramirez. There is nothing like seeing Manny and Big Papi up to bat, with the potential to knock the ball out of the park upon any good pitch. This is exciting to me. With help from guys like Jacoby Ellsbury and Matsuzaka, the Red Sox shouldn’t have a problem finishing off the Rookies in a shut out.

The Red Sox are one win away from their second World Series in four years and they will do it. Two big victories in four years, now things are finally shaping up. No longer do the Red Sox have to hang in the lag of teams like the New York Yankees, they are finally in a league of their own. Don’t get me wrong, there is great respect due to A-Rod and the like, but now, in this new turn of the century, the Red Sox are making a lasting name for themselves that will leave a great impression of the minds of their young followers. The Yankees better shape up quick, because soon enough, the younger fans are going to forget their legacy, as a new legacy begins to emerge in Boston.
