I've liked the Red Sox since the days of Ted Williams. I too am glad they won, but wish the Cardinals could have been more competitive.
Not only did the Sox win the Series, but beat teams led by arguably the two best managers in baseball—Joe Torre and Tony LaRussa.
Curt Schilling is perhaps the biggest sidebar story of the series. After encouraging everyone to vote for Bush on "Good Morning America" and agreeing to travel with the Pesident next week, he has now backed out blaming his bad ankle. Despite the ankle, he now claims he was wrong to endorse Bush. What’s going on?
