Vladimir Guerrero and the Los Angeles Angels shrugged off their postseason failures and swept the Boston Red Sox out of the playoffs.

Darn, no NY vs Boston.

Someone woke up the Bambino’s spirit again! BTW, Guerrero’s a great player but I wish he’d change his Lenin-inspired first name to “Butch” or somehing like that.

Great News.

Finally got the BoSox monkey off their backs-— in dramatic fashion no less. Good for the Angels but go Yanks!

I wish he’d change his Lenin-inspired first name to “Butch” or somehing like that.

His first name was probably inspired by Vladimir I (d. 1065), prince of Kiev, who brought Christianity to Ukraine and Russia.

If it comes to a Santa Ana Freeway series, I’ll be rooting for the LA Dodgers over the Anaheim Angels. But if the Dodgers don’t make it, I’ll be rooting for Anaheim.

Ted Kennedy is trying to roll over in his grave. Can’t quite make it.

At least the Red Sox fans will be spared further the nonstop E-D commercials.
