WS 4: Red Sox 4, Rockies 3

The Red Sox lineup remains the same:
Red Sox                Rockies
Jacoby Ellsbury, CF Kazuo Matsui, 2B
Dustin Pedroia, 2B Troy Tulowitzki, SS
David Ortiz, 1B Matt Holiday, LF
Manny Ramirez, LF Todd Helton, 1B
Mike Lowell, 3B Garrett Atkins, 3B
J.D. Drew, RF Ryan Spilborghs, CF
Jason Varitek, C Brad Hawpe, RF
Julio Lugo, SS Yorvit Torrealba, C
Jon Lester, P Aaron Cook, P
***

Jon Lester / Aaron Cook

If you are worried about Lester starting -- though at this point, why are you worried about anything -- consider that Colorado is pinning its post-season hopes on a guy who has not pitched in a game since August 10.

Ofer said...

In the army we used to have grilled cheese contests. My best ones included onions, crushed red pepper, yellow and bulgarian cheese (a kind of salty cheese- don't know how you call it in English) and olives. Yum.

tim said...

Alright, I can't take this anymore! Going down to make GC and listen to radio!

SoSock said...

Tito is NOT f*ing around, eh?
Nice work by Lester. I hope he IS back next year

Amy said...

Gee, you people are getting me more and more hungry! An Israeli army grilled cheese sure sounds pretty fancy!

Yeah, I'm on record for not liking this move from Francona either.

Especially after two balls to start off from MDC.

I guess we have our MVP now.

Now he's the MVP! Almost leaving no doubts.

WOW, SIDD! Well there it is!

No letters needed, just me the dawg and oh yeah Happy dance, Happy dance!

allan said...

wow - slappy wasting no time -- on the day the mfy say they will meet with him and an alleged offer is reported in the tabs.

Amy said...

So A Rod opted out. Who cares...Lowell is the MVP, who needs A Rod? (You already know my views on this.)

laura k said...

Funny coincidence of events, Alex opting out right as Lowell hits a HR. It's major baseball news, however you slice it.

tim said...

No letters needed, just me the dawg and oh yeah Happy dance, Happy dance!

I've learned this time! lol, gotta shut off the speakers for the first second, that pop is almost as bad as listening to fox for 4+ hours during the playoffs.

thinking of it...we've listened to these quacks for at least 33 hours! more than a fucking day! (figure 3 hours per game avg...including commercials etc)

Ofer said...

A little bit of schaudenfreude for you all...just saw on CNNSI that A-Rod opted out of his contract with the Yanks

Ha! Can this day get any better? Will Girardi decline the manager's position? Will Rivera retire? Will FBfO announce that he will pitch for them again next year?
How good can it get?

Amy said...

Tek. Another hit.

tim said...

CAPTAIN MY CAPITAN!!!!!

There's the "lament chant" as I've come to call it....they're lamenting the team now.

"OHHH! ROCKIES!" *cries*

tim said...

Delcarmen on deck, nice!

Biceps Brachii said...

Really nice blog.
I have few cousins in US, and they like Red Sox a lot.

Greets from Macedonia!

mook said...

The Steinbrenner sons are just brilliant businessmen.

This is what I imagine will happen when the Yankees make their offer to the new manager:

Yanks: "Here is the package we're offering... three years, guaranteed, at $1.5 million per year."

Coach: "That's a lot less than you were paying Torre."

Yanks: "Pay...ing?"

Coach: "Yeah, he was making like six mil a year."

Yanks: "I'm sorry. You must have misunderstood. If you sign this contract which, oops, looks like your agent just did, you are guaranteed to owe us 1.5 million dollars a year. And that's not counting the escalator clauses."

Coach: "Escalator clauses?"

Yanks: "Yeah, you have to pay us another 500K for every round of the playoffs we win. We figure that's only fair given all of the media exposure you're going to get once the postseason rolls around... oh, and you have to pay to use the escalator."

Coach: "Really?"

Yanks: "Yeah, it's twenty bucks to ride if you don't feel like taking the stairs."

allan said...

why did tek stop running? if manny did that, they'd talk about that for the next 2 hours.

laura k said...

I have to hand it to those Rockies fans. They are being very loud, even now. It's hard to do when elimination is staring you in the face.

tim said...

Time for the tim 7th inning musical interlude!

"Would you be impressed" by Streetlight Manifesto

Downloaded the leak of the new album the other day, first new album from these guys in 4+ years and its not supposed to be out til November, I'm impressed hahaha...

Rob said...

GBA just got a little bit worse.

Country singers? I'm not watching, but I can hear it.

Rick (f/k/a westcoastsox) said...

Lowell so far in WS:

6 for 14, 3 BB, 4 RBI, 6 RS
3 doubles
1 HR

Amazingly, Lowell isn't leading the Sox in RBIs. Tek is. Note that the Sox have scored 28 runs (to Colorado's 7), and have 28 RBIs. Each of the starting 9 has at least 1 RBI.

Due to the good pitching performances, I nominate Varitek for MVP.

Ellsbury - 3 RBI
Pedroia - 4 RBI
Ortiz - 4 RBI
Ramirez - 2 RBI
Lowell - 4 RBI
Drew - 2 RBI
Varitek - 5 RBI
Lugo - 1 RBI
Youkilis - 1 RBI
Matsuzaka - 2 RBI

Amy said...

Macedonia! I continue to be amazed by the draw of this place. Welcome, Biceps.

laura k said...

Ish, we're just the opposite, we can see it but not hear it. gba = mute

Varitek just bought Delcarmen a second inning.

after the blogger mention, i got visitors from like 30-40 countries. always been a few, but this was amazing.

laura k said...

M Yass, LOL :)

Only b/c I know you

Amy said...

Well, I know Tek will not be the MVP, nor should he be. But that's an interesting stat. I know his offense is nothing to write home about, but he has not totally sucked either.

tim said...

I'm not watching, NOR listening! It's called a double-switch. If you've heard anything Fox has had to say on the subject, it's perfectly understandable, me being an AL fan and all.

laura k said...

I always imagine you have only radio. Now we learn there are two TVs!

allan said...

When when we win this game, it will be the greatest runs scored/runs allowed differential of any WS sweep.

We rool.

laura k said...

Amy, he's been hitting in this series, no doubt about it.

Rob said...

Actually there are six TVs throughout the house. My mother is in her bedroom with the game on, my father is in the living room with the game on, and I've left the tv on in my bedroom.

Rick (f/k/a westcoastsox) said...

You're probably right about Tek. But his pitch calling has been nothing short of brilliant.

allan said...

I'll bet Tito hopes we get 5 more runs and he can let Timlin pitch the 9th.

I won't mind.

the rockies have scored their run. very nice. 9 outs to go.

Okay, one lucky shot.

We're still ahead.

Rick (f/k/a westcoastsox) said...

Not worried.

Rick (f/k/a westcoastsox) said...

Not worried.

Shhooot. But that just motivates is to score a few more to get that cushion, like last night.

12 more and we can get gagne in!

Another illusion crushed.

Rick (f/k/a westcoastsox) said...

Jeemer and Timlin in the pen.

Erin said...

MDC needs to throw some strikes. Preferably the kind that don't end up in the right field seats.

allan said...

mdc not sharp,

if alba gets on, let's go with jeemer.

2 runs up, 3 games up, 8 outs to go, and 58 in the bullpen.

I agree.

nixon33 said...

red soxk, did tek stop running toi try and bait them into a rundown so lugo would be safe?

edit. im am not worried about these rockies hits.

Rick (f/k/a westcoastsox) said...

Looks like Jeemer's coming in.

I'm not saying Oh shit! I'm saying OH SULLIVAN!

(Cue Earple - Did IIIIIIII say that?)

laura k said...

cake for manny! cake for manny!

allan said...

nix - no, the grounder went right near the bag. helton grabbed it, stepped on the bag and was going to throw to second, but tek had stopped and so helton was able to run at him and tag him.

allan said...

don't mess with manny's cake!

How I know BH got up - the dog got off the couch (lol).

BH- so, how many outs are left
s1c - 8

BH - You aren't going to go out on the front steps and yell "TOP OF THE WORLD MA", in your pajamas like you did in 2004 are you?

s1c - "who me?" (s/e grin on face)

laura k said...

i would just like to note

even though i am quite confident that we will win this game

we do not actually have to sweep the series in order to win

although we will

it's not required

tim said...

"Rock the ball kaz" sign...interesting.

Buck brings up Ortiz being in the game defensively...irrelevant.

i want a kazual double play.

SoSock said...

Dim K!

nixon33 said...

K!
gagne warming? yikes.

laura k said...

gagne = we will score 10 more runs

tranquila!

Erin said...

The Red Sox offense will see Gagne warming in the 'pen and know that they need to score about twelve runs in the next inning to secure the win. Francona is a playoff managing genius.

s1c said...

Tim - I don't hear the song on my laptop (I have the core disabled). Next inning break I will fire up the desk one and see If I can id it!

tim said...

Whatever guys, I'm cool about a Gagné 8th. It's what he was brought here to do. We're up 3 games to 0, and if he fucks it up, we've got another 3 games to win it.

He's a kickass pitcher (except for in boston, lol), maybe being out west again will be good for him.

laura k said...

erin has the right idear
