Arrogant? Hypocrite. And for a guy from Potato Eatin' Island, I'm surprised you'd call Bostonians hicks!
Sour grapes aside, the Sox played quite well this series and clearly deserved to win. Their defensive play was tight, bailing them out in tight spots. It also helped that for some reason the St Louis pitchers disappeared without a trace...you gotta wonder how a team like that could have their first 3 game starters last 2, 4, and 4 innings.
But whatever the reason for their win, the monumental upset of the Yankees AND the World Series coming in the same year is truly remarkable. Congrats to the city of Boston.
