After a 86-year freezeout, the curse of the Bambino lives no longer, as the Boston Red Sox won their second World Series in four years last night against the Colorado Rockies (final score 4-3).

Is this the beginning of a new era for the Sox and their fans alike?

The Colorado Rockies, a great team in their own right, were stomped by the Red Sox, swept in four games without a remote possibility of coming back from behind (one possibility if you count last night’s final inning scare). The Red Sox outmatched the Colorado Rockies both in pitching and batting, dominating the series.

Even Rockies fans watched in awe as the BoSox battered their hopeful team to a pulp.

With Terry Francona at the helm the Red Sox are primed and ready to usher in a - dare I say it - dynasty, not unlike the Sox squad of 1903 -1918. Some may scoff at the comparison, but there’s no team in baseball worthy to go toe-to-toe when the Red Sox are running on all cylinders…like the New York Yankees of the past decade.

Now, if only the Chicago Cubs would clean up their act and make like Boston…
