Congrats to the Red Sox for their World Series win last night. It was actually pretty amazing to see a team that could come back from a dismal previous year and this year make a comeback and win it all.

This will be Boston's 3rd title in 10 years. David Ortiz, of course, was named World Series MVP after his performance during the series, batting .688 with 2 HR's and 6 RBI's. And with that, Ortiz may have clinched a spot in Cooperstown.

I have to admit, even as neutral as I tried to be in this Series, that I wanted to see Boston take it. After the Boston Marathon bombings, it was hard not to think about them needing something like this. It seemed as if that tragedy just pushed the team harder and harder to give Boston the win they needed. Last night should have made believers out of everyone.

Potential Last Game Of The World Series Tonight, Red Sox Up 3-2

If the Red Sox win tonight, I called it, that's all I'm saying. My co-worker thinks it will go 7 games but the odds are stacked against the Cardinals. The Sox are back in Boston, to what I'm sure will be a raucous crowd to say the least. Based on the Sox record, they know how to win at home.

The Cards are starting Michael Wacha tonight, which is good for them since hes been so strong this whole series. They are going to need all the defense they can get with David Ortiz being on fire along with generally the rest of the team being at the top of their game.

While I have been busy over the last week or so, I would like to apologize for not posting. Sometimes things catch up with you and it's hard to get to the things you actually 'want' to do. I think you know what I'm saying. It will be offseason soon but I hope to continue to post general baseball-related news items and possibly some more pictures or acquisitions of mine.

Thanks for reading!
