Ironically the only comfortable and convenient place to watch the final 3 games of the 2007 ALCS was amongst many Redsox fans and a few indifferent bystanders. As nearly all members of this group agreed when discussing various issues of disparate importance to the game, I began to realize that there must be much truth in our casual musings. I mean who could deny the validity of a statement agreed upon by fans from Cleveland, Boston, and New York. These will be studied and expanded throughout the course of the next couple weeks. Some of the topics include the DH, umpiring, and the talent disparities within the game...
The Redsox WIN!:
First off I'd like to congratulate Boston on another World Series win. It comes as no surprise that the Sox won the Series and only a slight surprise that the Rockies weren't able to sneak away with a game. The fact that the talent level of the NL is so far below that of the AL was exhibited this past week. Just eight days after dismantling basically the best that the NL had, the Rockies were dismantled by basically the best the AL has. There is no need for further proof that the NL is currently inferior to the AL and this is to a large degree irrelevant, but I will go into that in more detail in the coming days. Beyond that, the large success of the recent Boston Redsox is in large part due to the efforts of one Theo Epstein. Epstein has created an unusual model for the development of his teams over the past few years and I intend to define and examine this model in a multipart article in the coming weeks.
Do to a lack of time on my part and a lack of relevance in the world of sports I neglected to post on Saturday and will begin posting only once or twice a week with longer and more independent articles....
