With the excitement of 2004 now Red Sox history, little did all Red Sox fans know that a new nation would be be born out of the excitement of 2007 not too mention a near deja vu disaster of 1978 would be dwelling as well. Red Sox Nation was born in 2007 (even though the seeds had been planted in 2004.) for the Red Sox got off to a GREAT start in 2007 and by the end of May had accumulated a 14 1/2 game lead over the much hated New York Yankees and the rest of the division. The Red Sox had great pitching from Josh Beckett and a Japanese sensational rookie named Daisuke Matsuzaka. Great Hitting from Manny Ramirez and Dave Ortiz led the way for the Red Sox, but it was two rookies that really paved the way. Dustin Pedoria and Jacob Ellsbury were the Red Sox most exciting pair of rookies to help lead the team since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice did in 1975 in helping that Red Sox team to the World Series. The Red Sox did manage to win the AL East Division pennant over the Yankees by two games after blowing the 14 1/2 game lead that almost led to the near disaster of 1978 when the Red Sox had blown a big lead over the Yankees that year only to loose a one game play off to the Yankees. The Red Sox locked up home field for the American League play offs by securing the best record in baseball. The Red Sox polished off the Los Angeles Angels in a 3 game sweep of the Western Division champions. In the other play off series, the Cleveland Indians had eliminated the New York Yankees in four games after the Yankees had qualified as the AL wild card team with their tremendous comeback and sensational play the 2nd half of the 2007 season. The Indians and Red Sox met for the AL pennant, and it looked as though the Tribe were about to polish off the Sox in five games, but the Sox pulled off the great comeback as they had in 2004 (being down 3-0 ALS against the Yankees) and eliminated the Indians (being down 3-1) to win the team's second AL pennant in four years. The other surprize team of the 2007 season was the Colorado Rockies. By winning 22 of their last 24 games, the Rockies made the National League playoffs as the wildcard team. The Rockies in a one game play off for the NL wildcard, defeated the San Diego Padres. The Rockies swept past the Phillies and Diamond backs to make it to their first World Series in franchise history. Unfortunately for the Rockies, they ran into a MUCH HOTTER team in the Boston Red Sox and were swept by the Red Sox in four games as the teams met in the World Series. This dvd boxed set contains games five, six and seven of the American League Championship series against the Cleveland Indians and the four game sweep of the Colorado Rockies in the World Series with a bonus dvd that highlights the entire Red Sox 2007 team along with the RED SOX NATION!

in 1918 the Red Sox won the world series...then took a dramatic pause for 86 years...clawing and bumbling there way year after year, with the retrain wait until next year, or worst blame it on the curse...the curse was vanished in 2004. many could now die in peace, What cures? so one could forgive sox nation to sink back into thinking it could take another 86 years to win another, but hold the blogs, 3 years latter these sox of Boston, somewhat retooled, but mainly the same cast did it again, this DVD captures the juggernaut of rookies, seasoned vets, and one big pitcher to give New England a title once again.. This set includes the ALCS, which equaled the 2004 for taking baseball playoff to the edge of the abyss before charging to a 7 game come back for the ages..
This comprehensive package includes every second of every game from the 2007 World Series between the Boston Red Sox and the Colorado Rockies. Also included are three games from the American League Championship Series and a wealth of additional footage, including exclusive interviews, expert analysis, and scenes from the post-Series celebrations. The 2007 WORLD SERIES COLLECTOR'S EDITION is the definitive document of the climax to the 2007 Major League Baseball season, and presents the perfect chance to relive all the highs and lows of the clashes between these two teams.
This set includes the final 3 games of the alcs vs. cleveland, and all 4 WS games. If you're a sox fan you'll love this boxed set. This has to be one of the most dominating Red Sox lineups ever, and for me, it's way better to have the complete games than a highlight reel. Baseball is as much about the tension between the pitches as it is about the moments of action.
