The networks would love a Saawx/Dodgers World Series. Think of all the angles they could play up due to the big trade last year...which...unlike many trades...has worked out for both teams.

Have read different articles saying the main reason it has worked so well for the Dodgers is because the main "cancer" problem that plagued the BoSox was Beckett, and he's been hurt since the middle of May.

That's a good way to describe Beckett...when he was good...he was very good...but things went downhill very fast!!!

Gonzales wasn't happy in Boston and he didn't get along with Bobby V, as if anyone did.

As far as I'm concerned, they could have left Gonzo on the left coast and offered 1st base to Youklis. He was a better 1st baseman anyway.

There's always hope, Ken

Looks like Boston is destined to take the East. Things just seem to be going their way.

The Cards winning just busted all the media hype over a Sawx / Dodgers match-up.

Sox are home tonight at 8pm, keep that momentum rollin' and cage the cats!!!
