Not since being stoned to death back in ancient Rome, had there been a public bludgeoning this bad. On Sunday the Colorado Rockies were swept under the rug 4-3 by the Boston Red Sox after they had reeled off 21 of 22 wins. The Rockies seemed to be outmatched in every facet of the game, being outscored 28-11, having a starting ERA of around 9.00, and even their defense seemed to be sub-par to a Boston squad who made key double plays and off-the-wall catches. It was a great end to the season for the Red Sox who have now won their 2nd World Series title in 4 years, after 86 years of struggling to win the big game.

It's a real heartbreaker for a Colorado team who seemed like a team of destiny going into the championship, who had needed to win all 21 of those games just to be there. After the game the entire team went back to the clubhouse where they played the series over again on MLB 2K7 on their Xbox 360's. They of course were swept again by Boston, so they had to lower the difficulty to easy and play through it again. This still did not yield a win, so they made a few in-game trades. Eventually at 4:57 AM the next day they were virtual World Series champions, having won a close 4-3 series over a Red Sox team featuring ace pitcher Byung-Hyun Kim and Juan Pierre hitting cleanup.

"It feels great to finally win a championship," said an exhausted Todd Helton. "Watching a 10-second victory animation after finally getting the job done makes all these years worth it. I can retire in peace now. It stings a little bit that they had to trade me away in the game to get Kevin Youkilis, but it was a move that had to be done."

Congratulations Boston Red Sox, 2007 World Series Champions.

Also Congratulations Colorado Rockies, 2007 MLB 2K7 Easy Difficulty World Series Champions.
