Welcome to Boston, Dice-K

Well, that was close. Or at least it was for a little while. The Rockies realized their season didn't actually end after the ALCS, played a couple good innings of baseball, but then went back to their winter break. Meanwhile, Dice-K ... what can I say? I haven't been his biggest fan — or any fan, really — this year, but the guy was great in Game Three. It only took six months, but he finally showed up, just in time for the World Series. Great pitching, great fielding, and some great hitting too. Jebus, it's about time. And Ellsbury (Series MVP!) and Pedroia, well, it's just exciting watching those guys play. I love when they hog the spotlight and take all the attention away from Papi and Manny. Not that I dislike Papi and Manny, but everyone's favorite rookies make these games more fun. We're now one game away from winning it all for the second time in four years, and while Sox fans know not to be too confident, things sure are looking good.
