Josh Q. Public:  When you win, nothing hurts.  -Joe Namath

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Red Sox/Indians tonight!  We’ve got tonight, who needs tomorrow?  We’ve got tonight babe.  Why don’t we stay?  I’m staying.  Staying on the Red Sox bandwagon.  The Red Sox make a standwagon.  The Red Sox on their way to the Promised Landwagon.  The dogs on Main Street howl ’cause they understand if I could take one moment into my hands.  Mister I ain’t a boy no I’m a man, and I believe in a Promised Land.  Yes I do.  Yes I do.  And the Red ox on their way there.  They’re on their way led by superior pitching.  Peace through superior firepower.  Red Sox pitching kept the Halos scoreless in twenty-five of twenty-seven innings.  How about that?  Boom Boom Beckett.   Boom Boom Beckett going out to the mound pitching his heart out like a Hanson brother on crack.  Boom Boom Beckett’s teams never have lost a playoff series.  Never lost a playoff series because of his stellar 1.74 ERA.   Boom Boom Beckett was the majors’ first 20-game winner since 2005.  Boom Boom Beckett was lights out in game one.  Boom Boom Beckett was the World Series MVP for the Marlins in ‘03.  Boom Boom Beckett has three post-season shutouts.  Second all time.  Boom Boom Beckett is the best pitcher in baseball.  Curt Schilling.  Big game pitcher.  Huge game pitcher.  Elephantine game pitcher.  He is 9-2 with a 1.93 ERA and 108 strikeouts in his post season career.  1993 NLCS MVP.  Last Phiilies pitcher to win in the post season.  2001 World Series MVP.  And you know what happened in ‘04.  And you saw him in game three against the Angels.  Like the 38 Pitches himself always says:  I don’t think there’s anyone on the planet better than me in a game that matters.  I don’t either.  Sure the Tribe’s starting duo of C.C. Sabathia and Fausto Carmona has fabulous stuff.  The Tribe’s dynamic duo has ridiculous stuff.  But even if by some preposterous freak of nature they both win, the Sox have been in more dire straits than that.  The Sox have deeper pitching than that.  D-Nice and Bake and Wakefield.  C’mon.  The Sox will not let Paul Byrd off the hook like the Yankees did.  And know this folks:  Hall of Fame-bound and World Series MVP Manny Ramirez has absolutely owned CC.  Who owns the Chiefs?  Hall of Fame-bound and World Series MVP Manny Ramirez has hit .571 with four homers and three doubles in his career against Sabathia.  Pretty pretty good.  You know what else is pretty pretty good?  Huh?  Do ya?  The Sox bullpen is pretty pretty good.  Like my main man Bob Gibson always says:  The two most important things in life are good friends and a strong bullpen.  The Sox have a strong bullpen.  The Sox bullpen that over the last seven games has allowed only one run in 18 1/3 innings.  The Sox bullpen that led the league in ERA and fewest blown saves.  The Sox bullpen that held Los Angeles of Anaheim to one run on two hits.  The Sox bullpen led by newly crowned Delivery Man of the Year Jonathan Papelbon.  In a certain light he looked like Elvis.  In a certain way he feels like Jesus.  Everyone dreams of him just as they can.  But he’s only the humble Delivery Man.  The humble delivery man converting 37-of-40 save opportunities.  The humble delivery man first among all relief pitchers in the majors with a .146 batting average against.  The humble delivery man shutting down all foes.  Pitching wins championships.  Like my main man Sandy Koufax always says:  Pitching is the art of instilling fear.  The Indians should be shaking.  Roll Sox roll!

Hey tribe fans instead of cheering for chief wahoo its time to start crying woohoo. Next to those choke artist fom NY what other Northeastern Sports town can be called a city of Champions. That's Right Boston! Repeat after me cleveland fans, fans from a miserable loosing city, Boston Teams own 24 Pro Sports Championships: 16 from the boys in green the Celtics, and one more for them this year; 3 from our NFL team aptly named the Patriots; 5 from our NHL team the Bruins; and 1, soon to be 2 from the Redsox, after we sweep your sorry indian ####. What does cleveland have 2 World Series Titles from over 6 decades ago, no championships in the NFL era, no NBA titles. cleveland is a city of losers Boston is a city of winners. No more curses we're the big dogs now. Cleveland is just a bait dog readying Boston up for our next Championship. Those weak as yankee teams got nothing on our Red Sox, now Boston's the empire a city of championships on steriods. Think those punk as yankees were tough? Not! It's over Red Sox sweep cleveland! On to our second World Series Title you guys can now be the lovable loosers those. The Red Sox and Boston will forever be the city of Winners. Heck think about it we rocked cleveland and its fake ace yesterday like we'll rock the mistake by the lake today. Your city is pathetic to have one of your own franchise players such as Lebron James diss you by puttin on a yankee hat. Boston Red Sox 2007 World Series Champions! Get ready to be mowed down cleveland!
