Coyne's Clippings (David Ortiz MVP Edition)

More to come later tonite, but here's a quick list as the Sox pull off the improbable! I've been listening to this all day.

Here's the obligatory Bob Ryan article, its great, he doesn't even know what to say...BUT I DO, THE SOX WIN!!! One of B.R.'s better pieces of the year.

Old friend Gary Brown from the Springfield Republican has one, and here's Shaughnessy, but I didn't think it was that good.

Jackie MacMullen has a pretty good piece, still looking at the remarkable performance of Curt Schilling who gives a whole new meaning to the term, "Red Sox" with his bloodied ankle. In a related piece, the Globe tracked down some local doctors to try and explain to us minions what actully occured with Schilling's ankle. People like my rommie POS and K.C. will probably find it a lot more interesting than me, but give it a try.

And if your still looking for more, check out the Boston Sports Media Watch website from October 21st which has ALL the clipping from everywhere that matters. They also have a section of all the articles that counted the Sox OUT including the line that was written. For example, last Sunday, Oct. 17 Bob Ryan wrote:


So now the Sox are down, 3-0, and it's over, and everyone knows it, even the resilient Boston players who have never said die all season, and aren't about to start now. Give them credit for that, because there isn't much else to praise them for.


You can hang your bruised and battered Boston cap on the fact this series would be different if Curt Schilling was healthy.


You'd be wrong.


How could anyone have underestimated a lineup that features Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Gary Sheffield, and Hideki Matsui all in a row?


BUT THEY WERE ALL WRONG WE'RE THEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
