Official World Series Challenge

I’d like to place a wager with my friend K who lives in Denver (home to the Colorado Rockies) that has something to do with the outcome of the World Series. 

I KNOW that my beloved Red Sox are going to beat the pants off of those Rockies and I am letting the whole world know.  I’m thinking something like that if the Red Sox win, K, you’ll post on your blog that I and my Red Sox are the ultimate and coolest things on the planet and you will give me a gold star.  If the Rockies, somehow manage to beat Manny, Big Papi and Papelbon, I will declare you and the Rockies to be the supreme coolest things and will give you a gold star.

Gauntlet thrown down.

Red Sox Beat Cleveland in 7 games 11-2 – ON TO WORLD SERIES!!!

 (That would be Sox pitcher and cutie Jonathan Papelbon waving to Sox catcher and captain Jason Varitek)

It’s a little bit after midnight EST and the Red Sox came back from winning the first game and then losing the next three, to win the next three games clinching the title of

AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONS!  No more Cleveland Rocks!  It’s now RED SOX NATION RULES!!

The World Series begins Wednesday.  Here’s the tentative schedule:

Game 1-October 24        Wed COL at BOS            8 pm     FOX TV

Game 2-October 25        Thurs COL at BOS          8 pm     FOX TV    

Game 3-October 27        Sat Bos at COL                 8 pm      FOX TV

Game 6-October 31       Wed COL at BOS              TBA if necessary     FOX

It’s great that Boston has the home field advantage.  Because it was so cool to watch them win at home!  P.S. I’ll inform you with the times as soon as I get them. 

It’s now time to get the Red Sox Gear out and stock pile the sleep.  I’m heading to be now anyway.
