I was down in the Dominican Republic for the Dominican World Series this past weekend ... I'm actually in the process of writing up an indepth post about it and also about how the Sox hat I wore most of the time I was there made me more friends than I can even tell you, but just as an update real quick, Aguilas won the series after Licey lost the first three games, won the next three and then lost the last game. Our taxi driver that night was a Licey fan, and let me tell you he sounded an awful lot like a Sox fan even in the broken English. Talking about how proud he was they made it that far and how next year they'd win it. Sound familiar to anyone?

Very much looking forward to that write-up, SFinNYC.
I wonder how much it's going to hurt our Dominican relations, having lost Pedro this year. Manny and Papi are still around, but I think I remember reading an article saying Pedro did so much there he was god-like down there.
Also, any word on how the Sox academy is doing down there is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
