The Boston Red Sox Have Won The American League Pennant!

Click on the video to see the final out of the game.


Three years after ending its 86-year title drought, Boston completed another October comeback by overpowering the Cleveland Indians 11-2 Sunday night in Game 7 of the AL championship series.

Having rallied from a 3-1 deficit against Cleveland, the Red Sox now play the streaking Colorado Rockies starting Wednesday night in Boston.

This time, the Red Sox are bringing a bunch of guys who weren't around for the fun when they won it all in 2004.

"We've never been through this. This is on the biggest stage," said rookie second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who hit his first postseason homer and drove in five runs.

"We worked too hard all year long to have our season get cut short. Nobody wanted to go home, nobody wanted to say goodbye to everybody. So once we got that win in Cleveland, brought us back here, we started to believe."

Matsuzaka pitched five solid innings, and Okajima and Jonathan Papelbon each threw two scoreless innings in relief. Boston also got some help by a key blunder by an Indians base coach when Cleveland trailed just 3-2 with a chance to tie the game.


After digging out of a 3-0 hole against the Yankees in the '04 ALCS, the Red Sox needed three straight wins to advance this time. The Rockies, who have won 10 in a row and 21 of 22, will come back from a record eight days off.

Game One of the 2007 World Series starts on Wednesday.

The 1972 Miami Dolphins are the only team in NFL History to win every game they played in a season. There has never been a team to lose every game they played in a season. Could Miami be the first team to do this? Could one of their years become syninymous with abseloute greatness (1972) while another becomes synonymous with abseloutely sucking (2007) What a way to remember the 35th aniversary of that 1972 Dolphins team!

Enjoy Your Sunday and Enjoy The Games!

Curt Schilling pitching tonight for Red Sox in game Six

Curt Schilling pitches tonight in his first Game Six since "The Bloody Sock Game", Game Six of the 2004 American League Championship Series,


In Game Five on Thursday Night, Josh Beckett, blocking out everything but Jason Varitek's target, dominated the Cleveland Indians for the second time and Manny Ramirez drove in the go-ahead run with a 390-foot single as the Red Sox stayed alive in the AL championship series with a 7-1 win Thursday night in Game 5.
Kevin Youkilis set the tone with a first-inning homer off C.C. Sabathia. The Red Sox, trailing 3-2, sent the best-of-seven series back to Fenway Park to continue a season that was on the brink of being canned for the cold New England winter.

The Red Sox - and Beckett - have done this before. And clearly, Ramirez & Co. cared.

"We weren't trying to win three games in one night," Youkilis said. "We were just going out there to play the game, go out there and fight and do whatever we had to do to win."

In 2004, Boston rallied from an 0-3 deficit to win the 2004 ALCS against the New York Yankees and went on to sweep the St. Louis Cardinals in four straight for its first World Series title since 1918.

Tonight in Game Six of the American League Championship Series, Curt Schilling pitches in his first Game Six since "The Bloody Sock Game" Game Six of the 2004 American League Championship Series. Fausto Carmona pitches for the Indians. The Red Sox have to win to force a seventh game, which would be played on Sunday Night at Fenway Park in Boston.

Indians one game away from meeting up with Colorado in 2007 World Series

C.C. Sabathia will pitch the Indians into the World Series Thursday night with an Indians Victory.
Hang tight, Colorado Rockies. There's another team roaring through October.

And you just might see them in the World Series.
The Cleveland Indians, relying on a throwback pitcher who looks as if he stepped out of their 1948 team photo, moved one win from another crack at winning an elusive championship.

Pumping his arms with an old-school windup, Paul Byrd blanked Boston long enough and Casey Blake homered to start Cleveland's seven-run rampage in the fifth inning as the Indians beat the Red Sox 7-3 Tuesday night for a 3-1 lead in the AL championship series.

"We want to put them away here," Byrd said. "That's a great team over there. They can easily come back and win three. We're taking absolutely nothing for granted. We'll enjoy the win for now, but we want to put them away."

Just like those rockin'-and-rollin' Rockies, who are awaiting their next opponent, these Indians are soaring like a team of destiny.

Everything is falling Cleveland's way, and with a victory in Game 5 on Thursday night, the Indians will have another chance to bring this title-starved town something it hasn't seen since the Browns won it all in 1964.

The Indians, who knocked out the New York Yankees and their monstrous payroll in the first round of the playoffs, now have the free-spending Red Sox on the ropes. Even three straight homers couldn't rally Boston.

After a day off, the Indians will turn to ace C.C. Sabathia, their left-handed leader. Boston's Josh Beckett, who beat Cleveland in Game 1 at home, will try to send the series back to Fenway Park.

Daisuke Mastuzaka pitching for Red Sox in Cleveland for Game Three
