They say it's lonely at the top in whatever you do. Fortunately, the Red Sox have some close company. New England sports teams are in the midst of an epic run with a dominant undefeated Patriots team, a likely return-to-glory run by the Celtics, and a World Series victory for the Red Sox.
Red Sox Keys to success:
- Pitching and Defense: Josh Beckett is turning into the most dominant pitcher in baseball and the Sox have the most potent bull-pen in baseball. With Julio Lugo fielding everything in sight, Mike “Old Reliable” Lowell getting it done, and rookie Jacoby Ellsbury’s blazing speed in center field, the Sox have what it takes for a Championship.
- Kevin Youkilis, often referred to as “Youkilius, the Greek God of Walks” continues to make headlines not only for his on-base percentage, but also his glorious goatee. His cartoonish persona defies pressure and circumstance, victory will be his at any cost.
- Pedroia's Resolve: At the beginning of the year, Red Sox fans would speak affectionately about Dustin Pedroia’s slow start saying, “He’s small, but he’s slow…” He’s gotten better everyday, shown his toughness, and will likely be the AL rookie of the year. He certainly has the heart of a champion.
- Let Manny be Manny: Manny Ramirez is an incredibly skilled and focused hitter. His relaxed demeanor allows him to be composed in almost any situation.
- Papi Focus factor: David Ortiz, seems to be able to slow time, and has the ability to elevate his game at the most important times. His stare strikes fear into the opposing team’s pitchers.

Underdog forever
I've had enough of this "Red Sox Nation" stuff. I'm rooting for the underdog. I just dont get it. Every Red Sox fan hates the Yankees for whatever reason. But the funny thing is, there are no two teams more similiar than the Yankees and Red Sox. At this point, the Red Sox and Yankees are last on my list. How about those Rockies and Indians, two teams with half the players salary of these two New England teams, making it to October. Thats what baseball is all about.
