Your World Series Champion Boston Red Sox

The Rockies did the best they could to make a game, or a series, out of it, but it just wasn't happening: The Boston Red Sox were not to be denied. They have won their second World Series in four years, and their seventh overall. (That actually puts them fourth all time, behind the Yankees, Cardinals and Athletics.) We salute the Red Sox, who, clearly, were the best team in baseball from Spring Training until now. We might recommend avoiding their fans for a few days or so, but on the whole: You can't say they didn't earn it.
