I know I'm getting ahead of myself right now but Boston could have 3 different sports teams play in the championship this year. Patriots, Celtics, & Red Sox.
I don't think your ahead of yourself at all. Celtics are arguably the best team in the NBA right now, the Pats are arguably the best team in the NFL, and the Red Sox are likely the preseason favorites to represent the American League in the World Series. Of course, everything has to fall into place. :crazy:
I'm not too concerned about the AL.
Phillies could beat anyone.
Bam, it also happened in '86. Red Sox lost in the WS, Patriots lost in the SB, & the Celtics won the NBA Finals.
Of course alot of things can happen for either teams. The C's will have to remain healthy, the Pats defense will have to step up, & the Red Sox will have to stay healthy all season.
I'd like to see a Phillies-Red Sox world series. I know there is a lot of talk about the Phillies pitching staff, but nobody should forget about Boston's staff. With a healthy Josh Beckett, Jon Lester, Daisuke, Lackey, Buchholz, and Wakefield, they are top notch. Nobody will question their batting lineup. I picked them to win the AL last year ,but the injury bug ruined their season.
Great win by the Patriots today, the clinched the best record in the AFC, won the AFC East, & clinched homefield advantage throughout the playoffs.
A couple notes from todays game:
* Brady set the record from most completions in a row without a INT (319)
* The Patriots have now won the AFC East for the 8th time in the last 10 seasons
* The Patriots have won 7 games in a row, the last time they won 7 in a row was in '07 when they finished 16-0
* The Patriots have now scored 31+ points in 7 straight games
* The Patriots have finished with the best record in the AFC for the 3rd time since 2001
* The Patriots have only turned the ball over 9 times this season, the NFL record for the least TO's in 1 season is 13
