October 28, 200421 yr Red Sox win the World Series for the first time in 86 years. Im happy for them. I was rooting for them to beat the Cardinals! Im glad to see something new, and not just the Yankees winning yet again.
October 28, 200421 yr Author Best. Team. Ever. They're pretty good. To come back from 3-0 is what makes this even more incredible. This team was done, and now they're on top of the world. I guess I'd rather have it be them then the Yanks.
October 28, 200421 yr First team to ever win eight games in a row in post season play. First team to ever come back down 3-0 in a seven game series. First Red Sox team to win the world series in 86 years. Best. Team. Ever.
October 28, 200421 yr Best. Team. Ever. I probably wouldn't go that far, but they're a wonderful team no doubt. Their lineup is so deep, with Nixon and Bellhorn in the lower part of the order. The key for Boston was always going to be its pitching, and guys like Pedro and Lowe stood up the most when they needed to.
October 28, 200421 yr Jeeze and I said they could never win with donuts like Manny Ramirez and Johnny Damon.
October 28, 200421 yr First team to ever win eight games in a row in post season play. First team to ever come back down 3-0 in a seven game series. First Red Sox team to win the world series in 86 years. Best. Team. Ever. The '85 Bears would kick their asses!

First Red Sox team to win the world series in 86 years. Best. Team. Ever. If they were the best team ever they wouldn't have needed to come back from being down 0-3

First Red Sox team to win the world series in 86 years. Best. Team. Ever. You just need to look at there defense to know that they are not the best team ever.
October 28, 200421 yr You just need to look at there defense to know that they are not the best team ever. Yea as if having four gold glovers, Damon who had an errorless streak lasting for over 2 years, Varitek whos excellent, Nixon who is a complete dirtdog, and Bellhorn who turns the double play better than anyone in the game doesn't say enough. :rolly
October 28, 200421 yr If they were the best team ever they wouldn't have needed to come back from being down 0-3 I don't know if you noticed but they won the series.
October 28, 200421 yr Yea as if having four gold glovers, Damon who had an errorless streak lasting for over 2 years, Varitek whos excellent, Nixon who is a complete dirtdog, and Bellhorn who turns the double play better than anyone in the game doesn't say enough. :rolly Well those good defensive players are completely overcome by Manny Ramirez being a complete tool in left, Bill Mueller at 3rd and David Ortiz actually having to play defense against the national league. And Johnny Damon having one of the worst arms in all of baseball doesn't help. World Champions, but nothing special.

And Johnny Damon having one of the worst arms in all of baseball doesn't help. World Champions, but nothing special. So Manny gets his spike caught in the grass and misplays the ball, and he's a "tool in left." The guy is the best right handed hitter in baseball, and is a capable outfielder which is all he is asked to be. Bill Mueller, come on man? The guy has been known for his defense his entire career, he's an excellent third baseman, excellent. Damon throws like I throw lefty, nonetheless, he's got good range and is a great centerfielder.
October 29, 200421 yr Author The guy is the best right handed hitter in baseball Take off the Sawks blinders. Albert Pujols? And, quite frankly, I'd rather have Sheffield or ARod over Manny too...and there are still others I'd probably have over Manny in a heartbeat.

Ummm, I can think of a guy named Albert Pujols whose just a bit better rigth handed hitter. And their is no arguing, Manny Ramirez is a sub-par defensive outfielder. He's lucky he plays left in fenway otherwise his absolute atrocious fielding would be magnatized. Damon...its a given he's a got a horrible arm, but he's got great range. As far as Mueller goes his defense has been going downhill, I'd call him average at the very best at this point in his career.
October 29, 200421 yr Best. Team. Ever. You better celebrate a lot because you might have to wait another 86 years!
October 29, 200421 yr Pujols!? Call me in five years when he's put up nine seasons of a .300+ average, 30+ home runs, and 100+ rbis. Come on, your not going to argue that? EDIT: I am not taking anything away from Albert Pujols, he is the best young hitter in baseball, but until he surpasses what Manny has done, not a chance that he's a better hitter than Manny.
