2. Somewhere my daughter is in on the festivities on Yawkey way.
Retracing the old man's excitment with pennant fever in '75. This time, though, it ends up with a win...she's going through an experience that she'll remember forever.

Great series...Sox were not to be denied this year!

I'm sure she's not. ;)

Looks like all boys. :(

3. Lowell wins Series MVP

Lowell wins Series MVP




Free-agent-to-be scores team-high 6 runs for Red Sox

DENVER (AP) --

Mike Lowell is much more than some throw-in on a Red Sox trade.

He's the World Series MVP.



The steady third baseman capped an outstanding October with a big performance Sunday night,
earning MVP honors as Boston finished a four-game sweep with a 4-3 victory over the Colorado
Rockies.

Earlier in the Series, Lowell called himself "the throw-in" on the 2005 deal with Florida
that brought ace Josh Beckett to Boston. Nobody looks at Lowell that way anymore.

"Pretty good throw-in, I guess," Lowell said, drenched in champagne as he clutched
his glistening trophy in the raucous Red Sox clubhouse.
"Icing on the cake. This is just extra special."

Lowell homered, doubled and scored twice in the Game 4 clincher at Coors Field, dirtying his
uniform with a headfirst slide at the plate that typified his whatever-it-takes attitude.
He hit .400 (6-for-15) in the Series with four RBIs, three walks and a team-high six runs.

"I'm on Cloud 9. It's unbelievable," said Lowell, a survivor of testicular cancer.
"We've got a lot of people to give credit to."

snip-->

About 15 minutes after the final out, a huge horde of red-clad Boston fans behind the third base dugout
chanted "MVP! MVP!" for Lowell and "Re-sign Lowell! Re-sign Lowell!"


:applause: :applause:

The whole team did a fantastic job!! Congrats to Mike Lowell and the whole team!! :D

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
