Boston Red Sox Win 2018 World Series
« on: October 29, 2018, 12:01:21 AM »
108 regular season victories plus 11 post-season equals 119 total victories for the 2018 Red Sox.

7 of the 11 post-season victories were on the road, including clinching games for division, league, and World Series.

Wickid Pissah. Just saying.

Yeah, the Sox pretty-much ran away with the season this year for their fourth World Series victory in the last 15 years...  Were it that my Buccos could make a similar claim; the Pirates haven't even made an appearance in -- let alone won -- a World Series since 1979.  That's now the longest drought in club history... :(

I imagine things are pretty raucous up there in "Beantown"...!  Congratulations!

Starting to get ordinary with the 'Sox wining the Series.  Let not you Green Monsterites get entitlement syndrome like those aweful Yankee fans.

Well, what we're seeing now could be a case history repeating itself.  Early in the 20th Century, the BoSox won five World Series titles between 1903 and 1918 -- then not another one until 2004...  Now they've won four between 2004 and 2018...

So let's hear it for the 2104 Boston Red Sox:  after another 86 years of frustration, World Series Champions once again...! ;)

The Red Sox would need to make an ill-fated trade that destroys the team.  Curse of Benintendi anyone?

Funny that the last time the Red Sox played the Brooklyn team (Robins) in the World Series, Babe Ruth faced Casey Stengel.

Oh, wow!  I had to go look that up, but you're right!  Ruth was the winning pitcher of Game 2 of the 1916 World Series...!  That one was also a 5-game series, as it turns out...!
