The Boston Red Sox entered Coors Field with a two-game lead over the Colorado Rockies

"This team's got a lot of heart," Jason Varitek said. "We worked really hard. We just
beat a very, very good team, an excellent team. We had to do the little things."

For Boston, Sunday's victory earned the team its seventh World Series crown.
The team's last title was in 2004, when it swept St. Louis 4-0.

Rockies Offer 'No Excuses' In Getting Swept

They came into the World Series having won 21 of 22 games but left on the short end
of a 4-0 series sweep to Boston.

Still, Colorado Rockies manager Clint Hurdle was offering no excuses for his team
that was outscored 29-10 in the four losses.

Hurdle said the Red Sox are "a great team and they're hot -- it's a tough combination."

The Rockies manager said the bottom line is "they executed better than us."
