The Boston Red Sox Are Your 2013 World Series Champions

The Boston Red Sox captured the 2013 World Series title on Wednesday night, defeating the St. Louis Cardinals by a score of 6-1. It was the first time since 1918 that Boston won a World Series at Fenway Park, as their wins in 2004 and 2007 were both on the road. It is the 8th time in franchise history that the Red Sox have been kings of baseball, as they previously won in 1903, 1912, 1915, 1916, 1918, 2004 and 2007.

The Red Sox bats knocked around St. Louis starter Michael Wacha, getting all 6 runs off of him in just 3 and 2/3 innings. It was Wacha's 1st bad start of the postseason, as he had been so good in his first 4 starts, posting an ERA of 1.00. Boston starter John Lackey, on the other hand, was fantastic, going 6 and 2/3 innings and giving up just 1 earned run.

The Red Sox fun night began in the bottom of the 3rd, when Shane Victorino hit a 3 run double that made it 3-0 Red Sox. The Sox added on 3 more runs in the bottom of the 4th. First, Stephan Drew leadoff the inning with a solo homer to make it 4-0. Then, Mike Napoli singled to make it 5-0, and Victorino also singled to make it 6-0. The Sox never looked back from there. The Redbirds would score 1 run in the top of the 7th on a Carlos Beltran single, but it proved to be meaningless. Tonight was Boston's night. Koji Uehara came in in the top of the 9th in a non save situation, and got the first 2 men out, then struck out Matt Carpenter, and with that, Fenway erupted as for the first time in the lives of anybody in that stadium, the Red Sox won it all in front of their hometown fans. David Ortiz, as expected, was named World Series MVP after his phenomenal series, as he has earned a reputation as one of the best postseason hitters ever.

I would like to say, Mike Matheny, John Mo St. Louis Cardinals and their fans, congratulations on a great season. Even though it sucks not to win it all, it was still a great season and you guys have nothing to be ashamed of.

To the Boston Red Sox and their fans, congrats on a great season and World Series. Expectations were not high for this team following a 69 win season in 2012, but manager John Farrell did a phenomenal job turning around Boston, and free agent pickup Shane Victorino and the resurgence of pitcher John Lackey as well as a bounce back season from ace John Lester and the emergence of closer Koji Uehara played huge roles in getting Boston to where they are right now, as well as the stars who had been with Boston before 2013, like Ortiz, Pedroia etc. GM Ben Cherington and the Red Sox front office did a fantastic job putting this team together. Let's not forget the fans, most of whom had been waiting their whole lives to see their team win it all in person and finally got to do it tonight.

Well that's it for this post. Thanks for reading, and congrats to the Boston Red Sox.
