Red Sox
In this blog I’m going to talk why the Red Sox are the best team in the MLB. First of all they have won more games than any other team in the MLB. Maybe they had lost more than the D-Backs, but it does not matter, they still dominate their division and the Al in games won. Last season they also were the team with most wins in the MLB with 96 wins at the end of the regular season, for me, that is complete power and dominance. They also were the team with less looses in the 2007 regular season with just 66 looses when other team were in the 70’s and 80’s. Red Sox have one of the best batters in the whole MLB. Manny Ramirez was the 2004 MVP and has 498 homeruns in his career, closing in 500. David Ortiz had a shaky start, but now leads the Red Sox in homeruns and RBI’s and is the fourth in the MLB with more RBI’s and the third in the AL. The 2007 MVP winner and also golden glove winner, Mike Lowell just came back from an injury, but had a hot start with the Red Sox with 5 homeruns and 15 RBI’s. Finally Kevin Youkilis, what can we say about him. There is nothing to say because his stats says it all. A .326 average, 9 homeruns and 34 RBI’s. He is a hitter that has every aspect of an all-star. Screw the curse of the Bambino, I think that curse never existed. What the Red Sox needed was a team that had the best of the best, and that is what they have right now. There batting is impeccable, and one of the best batting orders of the whole history of the MLB. There pitching is as good. The ace Josh Becket leads the Red Sox in strikeouts and is 12th in the MLB in strikeouts and 5th in the AL. He has a record of 5 wins and 3 looses. Dice-k Matsuzaka has a perfect record. 5 wins and no looses. He is 2nd in wins in the MLB and “numero uno” number one in the AL. Jonathan Papelbon, what can I say about this young pitcher. I think I can describe Jonathan in 4 words. “Future hall of famer”. Papelbon finish the 4th game of last year’s world series with a strikeout and now is 3rd in the MLB and AL in saves. When he gets in the game in the ninth inning, you can expect him to strikeout every single batter he will face. That has happened before and it had happened in this season also. Just flat out simple, the Boston Red Sox is the best team in the MLB and will be for many more years. They have the batters, the pitchers and the coach Terry Francona who lead the Red Sox to two World Series championships. I’m really sorry for your mother-in-law Mr. Francona, but know you have to think in sending this amazing Red Sox team to the World Series and getting yours and theirs 3rd World Series championship in 5 years. Go Boston Red Sox!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
