After going 86 years without a championship the Red Sox now have won two in the last 4 years (this time breaking the dreaded Curse Of Relief Pitcher Curtis Leskanic). I went over to my Dad's place last night to watch Game 4 as the Red Sox completed the sweep over the Colorado Rockies. I don't have a whole lot to say other than it was great to be there with him this time when the Sox won it all (last time we talked on the phone immediately after it was over). The Red Sox are really threatening to become a dynasty having won 2 of the last 4 and with a ton of great, young talent. The other big news in baseball was that Alex Rodriguez decided to opt out of his contract with the MFYs which led to Yankee ownership basically telling him to get lost. As a Red Sox fan it's great to not only see another Sox Championship, but to also see the "Evil Empire" appear to be crumbling before our very eyes. Good times. Anyway, here's a funny picture of Jonathan Papelbon leaping in the air after recording the last strike of the year for baseball in 2007:
