The World Champion Boston Red Sox

When the final strike was thrown, the Fenway crowd went wild.

Koji Uehara leaped around just like a child.

All the bearded Boys of Summer charged him on the mound.

Red Sox Nation won at home and made a joyful sound.

Dirty Water thundered on the speakers; no one heard.

I know there were speeches made but didn't catch a word.

Not 'til "Cooperstown" stepped up to chants of MVP...

(That's the latest nickname for Ortiz; our Big Papi)

"It's our bleeping city... and remember, Boston Strong!"

No one thought they had a chance this Spring.  Sox proved 'em wrong.

Boston's Red Sox are World Champions - again!  Three cheers!

This must be how Yankees' fans have felt for all those years.

Boston Red Sox - The Best Worst Team

Give the team a year or two, the Red Sox owners pled.

Boston is rebuilding, all the sports announcers said.

Do not be surprised if they should finish tied for last.

No one thought John Farrell could turn things around so fast.

Now it's almost Labor Day and, in the A.L. East,

Boston's Red Sox hold the lead...  They're up 2 games (at least.)

Last night, Dirty Water filled the seats at Fenway Park.

Expectations for the team already passed the mark.

Thank Shane Victorino, thank Pedroia and Ortiz,

Not forgetting Napoli and Lackey, if you please.

And, let's thank the sports gods...  Cover all our bases, 'cause

As of now, the Red Sox are the best worst team there was.

The Boston Red Sox - A Prayer for the Home Opener

 

Should have asked for winning in my prayer the other week;

When I told the sports gods that the only boon I'd seek

Was a starting record better than the year before

(And that wish was granted - barely - if you're keeping score).

Red Sox stand at 1 and 5.  Last year? Naught and 6.

Thanks a lot there, sports gods.  Now, could you guys, maybe, fix

Problems with the pitching for our Opener today?

Let the Red Sox win at home we, in the Nation, pray.

I can smell the popcorn and the sausages from here...

Please dear sports gods - give us Red Sox fans something to cheer.

Haven't I been good and true?  A Faithful fan and daughter?

Let the stands of Fenway ring with strains of Dirty Water.

  Good luck Josh Beckett!

Open in case of Victory.
