majors league playoff preview: bonson red sox!

you gota love an underdog!

The last copple of years have been rough for beantown. The redsox traded beloved manager tarry francona away to the indians and collapsed early in the season, not seeing the golden glow of october baseball for all of 2012.  This past winter the boston red sox had a meeting and said "enough of this losing!" and made some big time moves.  The biggest things they did was improve slugging on theire team by signing some of the biggest muscles in free agency. Names like Shame Victorino and Mike Napoli were now wearing the ruby red colors of boston!

Things looked shaky at first until "Bing! pow! bang!" home runs started flying oer the green monster like crazy!  the red sox homered and struck otu opposing batters all the way through septumber when they ended up clinging their devision over teams like RAYS and orioles and perennial world series champion The NEw York Yankees.   Mario River (famous yankees closer who retired at the seasons end) told reports: "it brings me great shame to see boston flourish, i retire a bitter man."

SPeaking of bitter men, I bet THeodore Epstein is pretty bitter that he got traded to the Cubs who haven't even been to the playoffs ONCE since he's been there!

Will there be another world series in Boston? Time will tell. They've got the bats and the arms to make a strong run thoguh!

major leage playoff preview! the tampa bay manta rays!

Ok so the bad news is that the formatting and red tape that needed trimming in order to get the blog up and running ended up taking so long that I have to post this while the playoffs are alredy going, so lets catch uop.

GAME ONE: THE TYE BREANKER

WE aren't talking about you're boring office necktie, no way. At seasons end the Texas Ragners and Tampa bay Manta Rays ended up having to play an exciting 163rd game. The rason they had to do this was becuase (get this) they had the exact same record at the end of the season! (no joke). We at Sports Boys crunched the numbers and read through our baseball books and descovered that this is the first time this has ever happened in baseball!  Thre rangars were desperate so they activated juicing outfielder Nelson Cruise to swing his big bat, but they were no match for the Rays as David Price took to the mound and shut'em down big time.  Looks like "The price is right" should be filmed in Tampa Bay :).

GAME 2: WILD CARD indiands vs The rays

After the Rays were done sweeping the rangers (and mopping the floors with them too!) they took the team bus all the way to celeveland where they were facing the upstart Clevland Indians!  The indianas seemed pretty well poised to hit lots of homeruns against the Rays with the likes of Nick Swisher and Michelle Brantley, but instead they hit no homeruns.  The Rays ended up completely shutting out the Indians in their home field and ending their season. What a humiliating affair! Sorry Drew Carey, but as it turns out Cleveland doesn't Rock (i'll still watch PRice is david right though).   Up next the Rays have a big task against Boston sox and big poppa david ortiz! This is not just a one game affair though so its gonna be quite a hill for the Rays to swim up. lets see if they are up to the challenge?
