By the way, there was a World Series won by the Red Sox.

The Boston Red Sox have won the 2007 World Series by sweeping the Colorado Rockies in four games. While Red Sox fans should have been on the edge of their seats rooting for their team to hang on to win their 2nd World Series in 4 years, and Rockie fans hoping that their team can hang in there and try to steal a game, we all got to listen to an innings worth of A-Rod news.

First off, as a baseball fan I'm glad that Boston won over the Rockies. I would rather see a World Series win in a baseball city (i.e., Boston, New York, Chicago, St, Louis, etc), than by a franchise that was established in the 90's and uses marketing phrases like "Welcome to Rock-tober", and consists of a line-up of seemingly identical 6'1, average looking guys with a perpetual stupid look implanted on their faces, (see: Troy Tulowitzki and Garret Atkins). Champions should have some personality, like me, I'm a champion and I have an award winning personality.

As far as Douch-Rod, and his super-agent Scott Boras, making the announcement that he would opt out of his current contract with the Yankees during 2nd inning of a World Series game (and announced by FOX a few innings later), marketing brilliance - pompous and annoying - but brilliant none-the-less. Nobody likes D-Rod to begin with, so there's no love lost anywhere and except for the Boston area, the world of baseball...hell...sports, is talking about him. If not for the upcoming Colts-Pats game next Sunday I think we'd be looking at full week of Boras and his bloated face yapping about how he's not going to talk about any negotiations. Let's just hope he wipes the pieces of the baby panda he just ate off his face before he gets on camera, it's just embarrassing otherwise.
