    i hope that's what they do. Theo seemed pretty confident in re-signing Lowell during an interview.

    No...it's the Red Sox Nation crowd in general (note I said general not everyone in RSN is), the most outwardly racist and sexist fan community in American sports this side of the University of Mississippi and the media loves them...ugh. Anyway if you think the Sox are gonna resign Lowell to a 2 year deal now after him having an "MVP"-ish (he's not really close to A-Rod) regular season, and winning the World Series MVP you are crazy...and if you don't think Fox didn't orchestrate this whole thing with A-Rod not re-signing with the Yanks, and then awarding Lowell the WS MVP (.400, 1 HR, 4 RBI???) over someone who actually deserved it like Pappelbon who had 3, 1+ inning saves, you are crazy.

    Here's the other thing that hasn't been considered when it comes to ARod...who says he has to take Lowell's spot? Wasn't he the best Shortstop in baseball until he went to the Yankees? How about this line up then:

    1. Ellsbury
    2. Padroia
    3. Ortiz
    4. ARod
    5. Manny
    6. Youkilis
    7. Lowell
    8. Drew
    9. Veritek

    I didn't hear that. Was it rockies fans or sox fans?

    Classy anyway. I take the fans to be part of the team.
    That's right, I just won a world series.

    The Sox played great baseball throughout the playoffs. I'm so excited, but not as much as in 2004. That being said, I tip my cap to the Colorado Rockies. They are a classy organization with a classy manager. They have a lot of young talent and are going to be a very solid team for years to come.

    GOOOOOO SOOOOOOOOOXXX!!!!!!!!
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    Here's what Buster Olney wrote about the Sox today on ESPN:

    Red Sox built to last
    posted: Monday, October 29, 2007

    Babe Ruth was the ace of the staff the last time the Red Sox won a second consecutive World Series, in 1916. Larry Gardner led the team with 62 RBIs, and Boston accumulated 14 homers in 156 games.

    Set aside your fandom for a moment and try to think of a really good reason -- other than injuries -- why Boston shouldn't be considered favorites to match the feat of the 1915-1916 Red Sox.

    You want starting pitching? They bring back Josh Beckett, Daisuke Matsuka (who is, at worst, a solid innings-eater and may well be much more than that in his second full season), Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz. They do have a need for a veteran pitcher, and are expected to make an attempt to retain Curt Schilling.

    Bullpen? Jonathan Papelbon is among the best closers in the game, and might be the best. There is an excellent core of options in middle relief, from Hideki Okajima to Manny Delcarmen and, in all likelihood, Mike Timlin.

    David Ortiz, the anchor of the lineup, isn't going anywhere at age 32, and this year, amid physical problems, he merely hit .332 with 35 homers and 117 RBIs. Manny Ramirez is under contract for another year, and in keeping with an annual tradition, the Red Sox will probably gauge his trade value and then keep him. Kevin Youkilis will either be their first baseman or third baseman, and second baseman Dustin Pedroia will be back. So will catcher Jason Varitek. Jacoby Ellsbury presumably will be installed as the everyday center fielder, with Coco Crisp perhaps being traded away.

    The Red Sox have stability, with a solid ownership and general manager Theo Epstein, and manager Terry Francona and his staff.

    All of the young players will be hardened and shaped by this postseason success. Losing was the culture for the Red Sox for more than eight decades. But now, Boston plays with a expectation -- as the Celtics once did, as the Yankees did in the late '90s, as the Patriots do now -- that it is going to win every game.

    Oh, sure, the Red Sox have some decisions to make. They will weigh their third base options and decide whether to re-sign Mike Lowell, who fits the Red Sox perfectly (He would fit any team perfectly, with his drive and his unselfishness). They may or may not pursue Alex Rodriguez; the guess here is that they will not. Schilling may not be back.

    But the Red Sox will be the team to beat next year, as they were this October.

    Can't wait for Spring Training next year I'll be there for sure. If we can't sign Lowell I just hope he doesn't end up with the Yankees who will over pay just to get him.
