Rev-o-lu-tion

The Sox have been eliminated, the Patriots play Sunday, and in the meantime it's time to go overboard for the (give it up, folks) NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION!!! The doughty Rev's will start the playoffs second-seeded after a three-game win streak at the season's end propelled them on in their worst-to-first turnaround. With enough fan support we may witness them going farther than they have in past playoffs. I believe this is the first time they've led the East division; however, with 8 of 10 MLS teams going to the playoffs it's not hard to make the playoff cut. Actually, if MLS wants to inject any suspense at all into their season, they need to decrease the number of playoff teams to at most 6, if not 4 or (better yet, IMHO) - 2.
