The Red Sox Win the Pennant!

Sheryl tries on her new Red Sox jersey in anticipation of Boston's appearance in the World Series.Our ultimate baseball dream has come true. Thanks to Boston's 11-2 victory over the Cleveland Indians in Game Seven of the American League Championship Series, we are going to see our beloved Red Sox come to Colorado to play the Rockies in the World Series. However, this does leave us a little conflicted, because we genuinely like the Rockies and we consider them to be our favorite National League team. We've always maintained that the Red Sox would take precedence in this situation, but we couldn't help but get caught up in Rockiemania this fall as the Rockies won 21 of their last 22 games in order to win the NL pennant.

After watching the New England Patriots earn a 49-28 win over the Miami Dolphins on TV at the Blake Street Tavern, we dropped by a nearby Sportsfan location to purchase a Red Sox jersey for Sheryl, even though we had already ordered a Rockies National League Champions t-shirt for her online. If we are fortunate enough to get World Series tickets on Monday, we will likely show up at Coors Field next weekend wearing Red Sox gear, but we will derive pleasure from this series regardless of the outcome.
