What a night of baseball! It was great to see baseball on such a big stage, with a tremendous finish to the end. I have a few quick thoughts on the Boston series. What an embarrassment to everything that is Boston. What's even worse are the deals and money that was shelled out to bring in Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez.
If I'm Red Sox owner ship I fire Terry Francona, right now! This team is too talented to not be in the playoffs. Let alone missing them 2 season in a row. Someone has to be held accountable for this. Such an epic collapse like this has to fall on the manager.
I also love these final 2 games in the AL. This was the best possible scenario that Baltimore could have hoped for this year. They had a chance to end the season on a high note, despite not playing a meaningful game since the All-Star break.
And for the Yankees!!! Way to stick it to the Sox by basically mailing it in this entire series and putting all the pressure on the Sox to make the playoffs.
Changes are a coming in Boston...
Rumors are that Theo may be headed to the Cubs, which would be great for the city of Chicago. Another name is Friedman (the GM for the Rays) could be headed there instead. If I'm the Cubs, I go after Theo. Friedman has done more with spending about 300 million less, but that's not what the Cubs need. They need a guy who has GM'd a big market team, with all the financial resources at his fingertips.
I think it's going to be a great playoff year and at the end of the day, I'm taking Phils over Yanks in 6.
