The season is over. Nothing we can do now.

It didn't end like we'd want it to. Being swept hurts, but it was obvious we were beaten by a better team. I thought there was a little magic left in the tank for the Red Sox, but the Angels proved that they had magic too -- a helluva lot more.

We're going to have more analysis of the game, the series and the season in the days, weeks and months to follow, but I wanted to first thank  all the readers of Over The Monster.

This is my fifth season blogging here at Over The Monster and I must say, it's been the best one yet. I really appreciate each and every commenter (even the trolls -- gotta' love 'em) and this place wouldn't be the same without you guys and gals. You make Over The Monster. You make SBNation.

So here's a big "thank you" to all of you that have contributed over the course of the season.

But don't go anywhere -- this blog will be active all off-season long and right back into the preseason. So don't miss a beat with us here.

Quicker than you know, it'll be spring training allllll over again.

Go Sox!
