Winning Is Fun

I'm just gonna go ahead and let Mr. Papelbon sum this one up...

I think we've all been expecting this since they jumped out to that huge lead in May, but now that it actually happened? Still a shock to the system.

Terrific series. Both teams played hard, and played well, and really, even after seven games, you can't definitively say that one is better than the other. Those Indians are really good.

Congratulations to Cleveland on an exceptional 2007 season. With the youth on their pitching staff and in their lineup, we should be seeing them in the playoffs for years to come.

Now it's time to party like it's 2004, rest up for a day or two and get ready to face the Rockies on Wednesday. Let Papelbon dance the night away...your job is to stay angry, Josh Beckett. Stay angry.
