Red Sox leading 10-1, looks like the rust is on the Rockies. Oh well, tomorrow's another day, Scarlett.

Yeah, they're getting hammered... It's 13-1, now. :sweat:

Josh Beckett seems unstoppable at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if he pitches games 4, 5... (I know Schilling has 2, and Daisuke has 3). :bow:

He is on a roll... :sweat:

If anything, I hope the Rockies can make a series of it and not be a sweep. :sweat:

Personally, I'm not rooting for anyone (Colorado in the NL West, Red Sox just won the Series not too long ago). But I guess I am a NL guy..

Hopefully there's no sweep. Hopefully there's no Sox win.

I think a lot of people are rooting for the underdog... Outside of Massachusetts. :)

Must be some kind of Colorado thing. The Broncos stunk up the Super Bowl 3 or 4 times before they finally got it right. [/list:u]

Like in the Coors commercials, "It's the Water." :hehe:

BoSox win 2-1. If the Rocks are gonna do anything, they either need to A) Figure out how to score more than 1 run, or B) If they're only going to score 1 run, they need to find the 2007 answer to Sandy Koufax as their starter.

Is it too late to activate Sandy? :beaten:

Whoever stole the base thank you. I'm getting a free taco tuesday :woot:

Dodgers hope to play 1 game in Coliseum to celebrate anniversary[/list:u]LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Dodgers may return to the Los Angeles Coliseum, site of "Moon Shots," for one game next season.

If it works out, the game will be part of the team's 50th anniversary in Los Angeles.
"We're just hoping to add it to a list of things we want to do to celebrate," Dodgers spokeswoman Camille Johnston said Friday.

The Dodgers played in the Coliseum for four years after moving west from Brooklyn in 1958. They shared the stadium with football tenants Southern California, UCLA and the Los Angeles Rams. The baseball team moved to Chavez Ravine when Dodger Stadium opened in 1962.

The football field at the Coliseum makes for a strange baseball configuration. When the Dodgers played there, they installed a 42-foot screen in left field to compensate for the foul pole being only 250 feet from home plate.

Wally Moon, a lefty hitting outfielder for Los Angeles, developed a knack for hitting the ball high enough to clear the screen, thus his "Moon Shots."

Rockies made a game of it (briefly) but ended up getting blown out again 10-5. Would be nice if they could at least avoid a sweep :fingerscrossed:

Yow, the BoSox have totally exposed the Rockies lousy pitching...

Let's see if they can salvage tonight's game. :fingerscrossed: :sweat:

Interesting bit of trivia: Last night Dice-K was the first Red Sox pitcher to get 2 rbi's in a World Series game since, , , , Babe Ruth :shocked:

And the Babe played for the BoSox at the time, ne? :)

Do or die time for the Rockies...


EDIT: they're down 1-0 already.... :sweat: :bleh:
