Titletown, indeed.

So, has the Celtics championship made this less of a Red Sox town? Well, they made a dent.

It’s a little bit of a question. The Celtics win kind of sucked the oxygen away from the Red Sox flame over the past few weeks, with Game 6 putting up ratings that we not that much different than what the World Series posted in Colorado. And as Paul, KG, Ray and Rajon became the topics of household conversation, Jacoby, Manny and the boys of summer have been pushed to a lesser role in the sports section.

Will they bounce back? Of course. If Papi comes back, Manny plays like Manny and J.D. Drew keeps swinging, you look at this Red Sox lineup and it may be better than ’04 and ’07. And it’s fun to watch the Sox young arms and legs grow and prosper.

In fact, who’s not looking forward to this fall. The Sox will make a run at the title again, the Patriots will be great again (and angry… and it won’t be just Belichick wanting to run up the score), the Celtics will be defending champs, and hey, don’t forget about the Bruins and the MLS-leading New England Revolution!

Let’s just sit back, relax and enjoy.
