Sox 13
Rox 1

Geez, that was just downright ugly. Red over at Surviving Grady sums it up nicely. (The link is definitely NSFM---Not safe for Mom)

BTW, here's my dirty rotten stinkah of a brother who was able to score primo box seats with some buddies:

I like the secret weapon they used to score many of those runs . . . drawing a walk. I almost felt like Colorado's pitching staff thinks they're somehow entitled to have batters swing at bad pitches, and were surprised when the Red Sox simply said "no thanks, I'll take a bases loaded base on balls" for three straight runs.

It is about being disciplined enough not to make outs. Last night, the Red Sox offense was and the Rockies offense wasn't.

I like SGL's nickname for Beckett, too -- "Commander KickAss of the F--k yeah brigade." He has been fantastic. We'll see how the Baconator performs tonight.

Jeez, looks like Lou got some good seats. Last night was great, but tonight could be tougher. One pitch at a time...

...by the way, new World Series masthead is OK. Think about how to work Theuriau into it, though.

Having gotten my undergraduate degree at a college in Boston, I'm sure you know who I'M rooting for... and I'm one happy camper today.

Hucbald---Tonight's a double-header: Sox versus the Rox with the Baconator on the Fenway mound, and the BCEagles down in Blacksburg playing the vile Hokies. Good times.
