And it is done. Congratulations to the Red Sox!
Trapper J... Looks like your vote counted an Big Papi is the MVP. .688 BA and a .750 OBP. Clutch hits throughout and not always the monster stroke, but what was needed was delivered. AND... he played on the defensive side as well.
Had a road trip scheduled and I was worried I would miss the game...but dialed up an AM station out of Cincy that was broadcasting. Kept that station from start to finish over a 200 mile trip. (Must be the comm guy in me...but there is nothing better than listening to the call of a baseball game on the radio....awesome)
Don't get me wrong, totally happy with the Boston win...but wish a little more of the St. Louis regular-season team had shown up.
Wacha unfolded quickly. Tough spot for a rookie...especially in THAT house.
LOTS of stranded base runners... Thumbs up to John Lackey.. 2002 - 2013 Series wins. That's an impressive stretch for a throwing arm.
Pedroia with an "E"... fortunately that was pitched out of so no scuff marks.
The wild throw/passed ball to first that was an infield hit?
St Louis finally getting to the point where they were just putting Ortiz on.
In this day and age of free agency, it's sad to think that the teams will most likely break-up while the player's stock is high. Unfortunate in my mind coming from a time where my entire youth was around the fact that the same 9 guys got out on the field year after year. (Pudge Fisk, Burleson, Yaz, Petrocelli, Hobson, Evans, Lynn, Rice)
A bright future for St. Louis. They have a big bunch of young studs that they have brought up.
As the Cubs fans say..."Until next year".
