World Series Game 1
Josh Beckett was at it again last night, pitching the Red Sox to another victory in the 2007 postseason.
Okay, maybe the rust was present in the Colorado lineup, but Boston is just clicking on all cylinders right now. Shoot, even Eric Gagne pitched a perfect inning last night.
They are coming through with hits when runners are in scoring position, fielding the ball well, and their pitching is lights out. It is quite sickening to watch this team hit double after double, scoring run after run. Even Julio Lugo could not be kept off the bases as we went 3-for-4 and had a walk.
The game was over by the fourth inning and should have been called after the fifth. It got so out of hand we even had a Alex Cora sighting.
All the game really was after the fifth was background eye noise, as music was turned up and attention away from the game.
Know doubt Boston fan thought that game was a "wicked pissah!" and will proclaim the series is over already.
Game was the anticlimatic that any non-Red Sox or Rockies baseball fans hate to watch. You want a competitive game to watch if your team is not in it.
Beckett is completely killing it in the playoffs. He dropped his career postseason ERA to 1.73, third on the all-time list for those with 70 or more innings. This year he has gone 4-0 with a 1.20 ERA while striking out 35 to issuing two walks. I need to write that again. In his four games this postseason, 35 have struck out against him, while only two have drawn a walk.
Was anyone else freaked out by Ashanti's hand during the seventh inning stretch? Her hand looked like the prosthetic hand of Happy Gilmore's golf coach,
Game 2 tonight, 8PM ET.
