2013 MLB World Series

[Ret10Echo]

Game five is in the books. Another (unsurprisingly low scoring affair). Seems it came down to control.... Lester was better able to keep his pitches in the right places.

So the American League team takes 2 in the NL park. This has been a great series to watch.

He is killing the ball. He has won the series for Boston.

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".

Yep, a great series - one for the memory book. I was really happy to see the Flyin Hawaiian redeemed himself at bat. I just love the way he loves the game - a real baseball player from the old school IMO.

Yeah, Ret10Echo, I agree and miss the teams that pretty much stayed the same year after year. Miss those days too. And a well called baseball game on the radio - now that is hard to beat!

Of course the moments like a beat-up Gibson's HR, or Billy Buckner's error at 1st base, or who can forget Curt Schilling's bloody sock? These are visual images that are hard to beat too.

Damn it seems like a long time until pitchers and catchers report.

Booo..

I have never witnessed a batter dominate as much as Ortiz did.

We'll be back next year.

Move over Reggie - IMO Ortiz has now earned the current title Mr. October.

Well played St. Louis - congratulations on a great season.

Boston had one hell of a year and series.

Boston Strong !
