The New Hub of Baseball

If you weren't among the few who saw our prediction of the Colorado Rockies upsetting the Boston Red Sox in a seven-game World Series, consider yourself fortunate.

Concluding one of the dullest post-seasons in recent baseball history, the Red Sox steamrollered over the Rockies in four games to win its second world championship this century. Fox's TV coverage of the World Series earned the distinction of being the second-lowest rated in history. People were complaining about the season ending in November? This one didn't make it to Halloween.

The news keeps getting better for Boston, who apparently has enough talent in its minor league system to keep them on top for years. Oh yes, and Alex Rodriguez has just become available, with the New York Yankees declining to re-sign him. I think we can safely say that the Curse of the Bambino is no longer in force.
