The worst post season EVER!

October 29th, 2007 Baseball

Let me be amongst the many to congratulate the Boston Red Sox on winning their second World Series title in four years. A big transformation its been going from “woe is us” to “Evil Empire Jr.” in the span of thirty six months.

But if there’s going to be one theme of the 2007 MLB postseason it was the lack of competition. I mean, your basic Bills/Cowboys or Bills/Redskins Super Bowl was a game of nail biting and mind blowing suspense compared to the show these teams put on this season.

Consider the results of the post season series:

Divisional Round:

Colorado 3, Philadelphia 0
Arizona 3, Chicago 0
Boston 3, California 0(I don’t care, they’ll always be California to me.)
Cleveland 3, New York 1

Unforgettable, wasn’t it? Quick, name a single moment from that round that sears into memory.

League Championships:

Colorado 4, Arizona 0…Maybe the Mets could have done better, couldn’t have done worse right?
Boston 4, Cleveland 3….By total default the only series worth holding anyone’s interest. Total score of games Five through Seven: Boston 30, Cleveland 5. Yep, suspenseful.

World Series…Boston 4, Colorado 0….seven series, five of them sweeps. I can’t wait to rush to the store to buy my commemorative “Major League Baseball postseason 2007″ DVD. I’d hate to be the writers/narrators for that one.

    Peter,

    I can’t agree more. Bud Selig is too busy bragging about his inflated attendance records instead of fixing the game itself.

    The games are endless especially in October. The first day of the Divsion Series the games ended in less than 3 hours. By the end of the World Series, almost every game lasted 3 and a half hours. Let’s not forget that Game 3 Rockie Horror Show that went 4:19. What a joke! Even the King doesn’t “Live for This.”

    Don’t hold back, Peter. Tell us how you really feel…:)

    On that note, I do gotta agree with you on this recent postseason. I quit really caring after the Cubs were swept out unspectacularly and the Red Sox-Indians series held some interest for me because I’ve got family in Ohio. The rest, however, did not do it for me. Even the World Series, which I watched only parts of because I wouldn’t consider myself a true sports fan if I didn’t.

Got something to say? Drop it here.
