My take on being fan of the Red Sox. [View all]

Obviously, tonight is a great night to be in Red Sox nation. This team won 108 games in regular season, then steamrolled the Yanks, Houston, and finally, LA. I was surprised, but....not really. This towne loves their Red Sox. Everyone talks about them. Everybody has an opinion.

But I was scared, I admit it. The f'n Yanks. They had a Murderer's Row of hitters. Up and down their line-up, they could crack a game into a laugher. But they didn't...thank the RS Gods!

Most of us thought David Price....cannot win in the clutch. Why? Because the media told us he can't.....but he did, big time Personally, he still has problems with the Yanks, but....lets fast forward. Price/Evoldi/Sales...yes, that is the cherry on the top! This team was all in on winning, all were available to do whatever Cora asked. I watched this team 4 years ago when they finished last in the American League and I was excited...Betts, JBJ, Bienitendi, Bogarts, Vasquez (eventually Devers)....whatta core!

Whattabout next year? Yeah, I'm riding this - they have the experience now to win the WS...they've done that and proven themselves. Next year, a few tweaks with pitching and, oh boy, can't wait to start the 2019 season!
