Red Sox Veronica Bulls

The Red Sox had their backs against the barrera (cowering even) when they went down 3-0 to the Bulls. "Pass da Bota the Matador is Cornada!" was the cry of the Bulls fans, oh the shame of it all now. The Bulls offense seemingly unstoppable in the first three games suddenly went cold as the Ohio weather. The Red Sox pitching came to life and saw a flicker of a chance after winning game 4, 5-1. Game 5 saw a 31 total hit barrage by both teams but getting runs across the plate proved difficult as the Red Sox snuck the winning run across the plate in the bottom of the 10th for a 6-5 win. Game 6 was the total opposite as there was 7 total hits by both teams as Boston plated 2 in their timely 3 hit attack in the 6th inning which provided enough offense to win, 2-1. Game 7 had everyone on pins and needles or would that be "Espada y Vara"? The Red Sox offense mustered an early 3-1 lead which the pitching staff would not relinquish. OLE OLE OLE OLE!!!!!!

This is first time a team has come back from a 0-3 start to win a LCS as far as I can recall. Not since seasons 8 and 9 had a heavy underdog upset the prohibitive favorite in the AL. The Bulls do not get a chance to threepeat or twopeat for that matter.

On to the World Series which matches first time entrants, the Boston Red Sox and Florida Marlins. Pizza, Popcorn and Beer at Erff's for the World Series everyone!!! Oh, forgot to mention, Beer, more Beer and um, yeah, Dancin Girls!!!!
