Boston Red Sox = World Series Champs!

So I'm not really into major league baseball. In fact, I can't stand watching baseball. It is probably because the action isn't really exciting (not like football anyway). Granted, I grew up watching the Dodgers...enough said. So, what makes me totally obsessed in keeping up with the Red Sox this year? We lived in Boston until just a short 6 months ago, where Red Sox fever is out of control. And by out of control, I mean it! It's huge and is taken very seriously. I didn't care much about the Sox when we lived in Boston. But boy oh boy I sure care now!

Right before we moved west a huge furniture store had a gimmick where if you bought a bed, sofa, dining set, etc. during a 6-week period, and then if the Sox won the World Series this year, you'd get your money back! We did a lot of pricing and this place had the best prices anyway, so we thought we might as well go for it even though we were pretty sure the Sox wouldn't make it that far (I know, little faith). Well, about 5 minutes ago they clinched the Series after winning the first 4 games!! WOO HOO! I should be thrilled and only thrilled, but all I can think is , "Dang - we should have bought more!!" Way to go Sox!
