Rockies - 010 000 000 - 1 6 0 Red Sox - 310 270 00x - 13 17 0Josh Beckett was the shit once again (7-6-1-1-9, 93). Dustin Pedroia hit a home run to start the first inning -- the first rookie in World Series history to do so -- and J.D. Drew added a two-run double to give Boston a quick 3-0 lead.
Beckett relied almost exclusively on his fastball for the first four innings -- 39 of his first 40 pitches were heat ranging from 95 to 97. He had excellent control. He set up Todd Helton with a 12/6 curve for strike two in the second inning before getting him swinging at a fastball and his 0-2 off-speed pitch to Matt Holliday in the fourth was tapped to third.
Nine consecutive Red Sox batters reached base with two outs in the fifth -- three doubles, two singles and four walks, including three straight bases-loaded walks -- that pushed the lead from 6-1 to 13-1.
So ... Boston's last four games: 7-1, 12-2, 11-2, 13-1. Four wins by a combined score of 43-6!

fuck you 3x.
lg, i thought the same thing.
but fucked if i care ;)
We just got the spasmo kid internationally too....
why is everyone hatin' on cans! i don't really see the difference!
but if available, i WILL pour the can into a glass/cup.
OK, no one wants to talk about who to take out in CO.
ps. i like beer in cans sometimes. it's....i dunno. colder.
like coke in cans. i HATE coke in bottles. hate it ;)
I've drunk beer in cans tons of times: when I was underaged, and a 30-pack (or "30 rack", or "thirsty pack") was cheap and splittable, and when I'm feeling cheap and/or ornery at the bar in my town that sells $1.50 PBRs, pretty much less than half the price of any other alcohol for sale ...
I'm sure if we tack on a few more the goddamn Boone highlight is gonna come up.
eyup
Tim, you really do NOT want a Taco Bell taco. Stick with the spinach.
The way the Red Sox are playing tonight, I still don't see them sweeping this series, which is okay by me. As long as they win, that's all that matters to me. I'd love to see the final out be in Fenway Park, personally.
The interesting thing with this World Series is how completely different the two ballparks are, and then you add in the AL and NL rules, and it gives Colorado an enormous advantage when they get home.
That's why you really want to see the Sox get the first two games, make sure to win one in Denver, then come back and win it at Fenway. A sweep would be good too, but I'm torn as a Red Sox fan and as a baseball fan. 21-1 then get swept?
Giuliani must be ecstatic tonight, his team is kicking ass.
there's a brewery in lyons, co called oskar blues that promotes beer in cans. they claim that can technology has come a long way, and they're now equivilent to bottles.
i have to say...they make a strong argument based on the quality of their beer.
show yer ancient history fox.
fuck if we care.
we got 2004 and we'll have 2007.
hey, i didn't say i've never drunk beer in cans! when i was like 15, 16. but i grew up, what can i tell ya.
We just got the spasmo kid internationally too....
lol! I thought this said "We just got the spasmo kid intentionally too...."
i.e. another walk by the rockies staff!
Cans taste like metal. Bottles have no taste. I feel the same way about soda, though I don't drink soda any more.
SPAZZ!!!!! AWESOME!
uh, that kid. ritalin?
Rockies STILL don't have a 1-2-3 inning
Historic Ernie Shore Field (sic)has beer in cans, tall cans, but I get Coronas, which they pour into cups.
Forgot just how much you taste the can till they ran out of C's one day this past summer and I got a Yuenglng. Never even knew they MADE Yuengling in cans till then
I think I can leave you with this lead.
Speak to you tomorrow.
that kid? future lemonade vendor at camden yards
cans = metal taste in your drink
bottle = no taste but your drink
as amy said
this just keeps getting funnier...
I thought this Paul William Beltz PC Ambulance Chaser commercial was one of those Dane Cook ones!
Soda, in order of container preference:
1. Glass Bottle
2. Aluminum Can
3. Plastic Bottle
Same goes for beer, but certain beers just scream "Drink me from a can!"
Natural Light, High Life, all the crap we drank in college (Milwaukee's Best!)
Beer in cans - parties and cricket (until they banned them).
coco in CF
lyndon in LF replacing manny
i can't drink soda in any container. i don't know how anyone does. that stuff is just gross.
but as for what we drank in college... well, that doesn't bear listing, does it.
OK, no one wants to talk about who to take out in CO.
Depends on today and tomorrow. I think in any event, Lowell, Youk, and Ortiz will each play 2 and sit one. Do sort of a round-robin sort of thing. Ortiz 1B, Lowell 3B; Ortiz 1B Youk 3B; Youk 1B, Lowell 3B. Something like that.
i like this coco in center move. get some at bats and maybe he'll get some hits?
Ok, Had to let the dog out so that he could do his business. Stupid dog, doesn't he know that the Sox are playing?
Cans, I didn't say that I drank my beer from cans! I just said they stay colder longer!
Good night, Lord. Tempted to go to sleep myself. But you know, it ain't over til it's over, and it's not midnight yet.
tim mcc: you mean "if necessary" game 5, don't you? :)
beckett in game 5?
WHAT game 5????
Guiness is better in cans, actually (unless you can get it draft, of course). But those Pub Draught cans with the nitro doo-hicky are yummy.
$1.50 PBRs,
Is it bad that I just got a pre-emptive papelboner based on that :P
Why hello OcOc, would you like some RBI too? or R-W-I perhaps?
I'm glad its surprising that Beckett is still out there. Like fuck, the guys only thrown 60 pitches or something. At least let him work a BIT OF A SWEAT! it's only fair!
OK, no one wants to talk about who to take out in CO.
I posted about this earlier and didn't get any sort of response :P
Right, that does it. Night all.
guinness in cans? guiness can only be enjoyed on tap. i have it at every opportunity - but draft only.
i agree lg with the taste thing (admittedly, i pour into a frosted pint glass;))
g'night LL!
MDC warming
BÊÇKKKKKKKKKʆ†!!!!!!
since we're waaaay off the subject of this game....
when texas scored 30 runs off the o's, how the hell did the guy get the save. CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THAT TO ME???
he knows he can play
"WATCH HIM WALK"
oh god tim,
I can't believe the piss awful wine I drank in college. Beer in cans would be better.
that dancing kid doing his best paps impression!
frosted glass, always a nice touch. we did our JD shots from frosted glasses tonight.
Man Buck and McMoron sure do have a boner for the Rox SS. You could almost swear it was CI out there.
3 innings of relief to end the game, which his team won.
2 young kids = don't get out much. But you should give those Guiness Pub Draughts a shot - not as good as tap, but you might be surprised.
lol, well i'm IN college so i should be excused!
i'll buy tall cans, but pour them into a nice glass (i have a pint glass, tall cans = a pint, they fit perfectly) but other than that, it's all bottles. i'll rarely buy regular sized cans.
you know its a good game when we're discussing bevy containers!
as for pop...cans are ideal, but i buy 2 liter bottles for home now (the big ones, for you folks in the states)...ive basically stopped drinking it except for the odd glass now and again, and I'm drinking diet now.
Jeter mentioned during a Red Sox - Non-Yankees game - Drink!
Jeter ELABORATED on ina Red Sox - Non-Yankees game - CHUG!
guinness in cans? guiness can only be enjoyed on tap. i have it at every opportunity - but draft only.
yeah but if you can't get in on draft cans aren't so bad. the little draft thingy does it's job ;))
(guinness is really only good in ireland)
there's a brand of wine that i feel sick to my stomach just from looking at the label - and that goes back to high school
how the hell did the guy get the save. CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THAT TO ME???
lol i saw that too... the three-inning save i assumed.
when texas scored 30 runs off the o's, how the hell did the guy get the save. CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THAT TO ME???
He pitched 3 innings at the end of the game. That meets the Save Definition!!!
Can't be worse than Boone's Farm Apple Wine.
I've always thought Jeter's cologne, "Driven" had a really intangible fragrance.
redsock said...
3 innings of relief to end the game, which his team won.
but i thought there was something about the tying run on deck thingy....
i have tried the guinness in cans. it's alright. i would never buy the stuff, tho.
tdcg, everyone says that about guiness is ireland, but i did not see a difference. are you sure it's not just something ppl say?
murphy's is really my fave, tho.
wtg becks!
Ok, so since we are talking about what we drank when. First true non moonshine (hey I grew up in the Ozarks) drunk was on little kings!!
Time to put on some real music during God Bless America.
oh look, GBA.
intangible fragrance :)
boone's farm --- memories.
I'll take this moment to listen to "Redlight" by The Slackers.
keep on walkin...
another bad, overdone rendition of GBA.
BOOOOO!!! ;P
Tim, what a papelboner is for you, a jeterboner is for Tim McCarver.
What about strongbow? anyone drink that?
I wonder if they still make Boone's Farm. Doubt it.
When we were being fancy, we'd have Mateus.
Lovin' me some Ashanti now!

strongbow - someone brought that to our party, so i tried it for the 1st time. it's not for me, but i'm really a wine or vodka (or guinness) grrl.
Tim, what a papelboner is for you, a jeterboner is for Tim McCarver.
I read this...
then read this:
boone's farm --- memories.
And thought it said "boner's farm"
This idiot moment brought to you by Boners Inc.
DRINK? whats this drink we speak of....EAT ACID!!
(ha kidding....well...sort of!)
Here's Tim's jeterboner:
Þ
mdc was warming
timlin now
LG - that wouldn't be Bone's Farm would it.
My wife's 1st wine experience was with BF, in HS, and it went, uh, not so well.
She hasn't touched wine since. :(
nix33 puts us all to shame :)
i won't list my favourite drugs. let's just say they haven't been mentioned yet.
Never heard of Strongbow. What is it?
frosted glass, always a nice touch. we did our JD shots from frosted glasses tonight.
sweet.
yeah, frosted glasses. learned it from my father :))
tdcg, everyone says that about guiness is ireland, but i did not see a difference. are you sure it's not just something ppl say?
could be a little. i dunno. but the ones i had when in ireland and england as well were sooo good. like a milkshake ;)
Glad to see Beckett finish out 7.
Here's my first attempt at a J.D. Drew "Power and Associates" photoshop job ... it could use a lot of work (particularly in the text and the ... everywhere), but hopefully it'll make a few people smile. Great phrase, nixon (who I believe originated it in this thread)!!
It was Beringer white zinfandel for me in college. Yuck.
According to Wiki it is still a winery out in Modesto (boones Farm).
Of course, the see also has listed Bum Wine.
Gee, Fox is conceding the game for the Rockies, saying Beckett is 4-0 for the post-season.

mmmmmmmm, opiates.

why not Fin? put him in for a couple innings, get him useless for game 2.
LUGO! Fuckin eh!
Even Lugo's busting out. 3 hits, 4 straight times he's reached base tonight.
Lovin' me some Ashanti now!
It was a good rendition of a song that's sung by a silly, jingoistic, fake "tradition", IMO.
LG - that wouldn't be Bone's Farm would it.
My wife's 1st wine experience was with BF, in HS,
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
sorry
fetzer
i don't get that "never touched it again" stuff.
Oh, thanks, Ish, for answering my question. Just found it up there before all the can versus bottle debate. That does seem to be what Francona plans to do.
mmmmmmmm, opiates
ding!
Maybe Gagne should come into the game. Let Colorado score a few runs and at least make the score look respectable?
[my predictable comment on comparing "postseason" and ws numbers...]
stop doing that!!!!
Gee, Fox is conceding the game for the Rockies, saying Beckett is 4-0 for the post-season.
that's coo. glad they finally are callin it like it is.
lol to the JD Power image! looked good except for the left ear (his left, our right)
Strongbow is the best cider I've tried, although I haven't tried very many (probably no more than a half dozen, if that) ... I've heard that in urban Ireland, young people drink cider, not Guinness (which is considered the domain of their parents' generation)?
SoSock, that was me, and it was definitely BOONE's Farm. Perhaps your wife meant Boone but repressed the memory of it. It was dreadful. But it did manage to get us all buzzed.
we saw lots of young ppl in ireland drinking BUD. it was disgusting. they are ga-ga for anything american.
but guinness is still the national drink, as far as i could tell. it was everywhere.
brendotroy! great job!
yes, i finally coined something besides chocolate rain!
hahahahaha
timlin in
cora in for slugo
im with you L-GIRL!
BINGO!
Gettin' tired and blotto. Let's get this overwith so i can catch some ZZZs!
i'm a fan of the woodchuck granny smith hard cider, when i'm in the mood for such things.
actually not a fan of guinness...feel like it's too sweet. much prefer murphy's stout.
nix, not like i have the opportunity anymore. but that's my preference. by like a million times over.
Brendo, nice graphic.
Beringer White Zinfandel: bad, but not as awful as Boone's. Believe me.
we saw lots of young ppl in ireland drinking BUD. it was disgusting. they are ga-ga for anything american.
omg it's the same in england!
and there's nothing you can say so that they'll understand they just...think it's so awesome or something.
also...nascar is getting bigger there too. which just makes me sick. it can't compare even in a million different dimensions to formula 1 (and you think the british would know this!)
oops - er, BOONE's Farm :)
I dated a girl in HS who liked Mateus. I actually remember thinking - Wish she would drink something cheaper. Ouch!
ben, murphy's is my favourite too. i fell in love w/ it in ireland. i haven't had it on tap here, tho.
espn radio doesn't tell anyone about defensive substitutions until there's a play for them. annoying.
if you're going to give the broadcasting rights to a station instead of local radio broadcasts, can you at least, ya know, not suck?
kthnx.
nascar, formula 1, i wouldn't know the difference if the cars drove by me right now. don't get the appeal of it at all.
clearly a rout is going on
8th inning of WS 1 and we are talking boones farm, beer and whatnot.
I agree Tim about the Zs. I have to go to DC tomorrow and should go to bed. But...only another four outs for the Rockies, and maybe our guys will not get any more runs. Did I really mean to say that?
Big guys have longer strokes - smirk
ha. good point redsock.
i like timlin in this spot. keep the momentum going for us.
complete shut down.
people are going to bed before the game is over! i mean ppl on east coast time. it's the WORLD SERIES, folks.
I'm not missing the shots of Shapiro and his inflatable wife.
(Context: Fox shot of a bunch of people wearing Rockies clothing.)
Alert the presses: Timlin got someone to strike out swinging.
another clue that its a blow-ouot buck really reaching..."timlin with a camo glove....." silence.
haha
nascar, formula 1, i wouldn't know the difference if the cars drove by me right now. don't get the appeal of it at all.
True. Well, I can tell the difference lol...but what a waste of time.
I dated a girl in HS who liked Mateus. I actually remember thinking - Wish she would drink something cheaper. Ouch!
LOL! Like I said, it was our FANCY wine for when we would also buy fancy pre-packaged cheese and Ritz crackers. And light candles in our dorm rooms.
Formula 1 is the best, but having to get up at 2 in the morning to watch some of the races, really, really sucks. Besides it's just not the same with out Shumacher any more.
FIL is a huge Nascar fan. So, when they visit on the week ends, usually one of the TV's has Nascar on it. It was hilarous this year when I got him rooting for the Fenway Roush racing team. (Big MFY fan)!!!
Gag me! Gag me! Gag me!
i like timlin in this spot. keep the momentum going for us.
complete shut down.
the way he's pitching, he really should be the new "dimmer"
and of course, gagne = white flag
redsock & l-girl: I've been wondering how the spam/trolling has been lately. Did it tail off at all after the MFY headed for the golf course?
I'm not goin to bed! I'll be wine-ing and watchin till its over! I'm just sayin, sleep will be good since I've gotta get up super early.
But I'm here till the end!
right, our fancy wine was bolla soave. that was for a special romantic evening.
Didn't say I was going to bed, only that I SHOULD.
amy - send me your address for the 1,000th comment book prize from the other night.
I ain't got my taco.
ok, ok, they are NOT going to bed, that's good :)
i used to be a big nascar fan until i grew up.
haha. eric gange is coming in.
and eric hinske is on deck.
wooo! gagne up in the pen.
I was trying to remember the brand of Soave! That was it! Bolla.
I should check those out on Wiki also.
lol Hinske on deck! awesome!
Youk yelled "Shit" and you could hear it on the mic. Nice.
if dimmer is coming in, it ain't over.
...
just kidding. i support the dimmer.
HINSKE!
chief, we had some off and on during the alcs. during the games we lost, quite a lot.
same guy all the time. he's a real freak, reads the game threads and comments even tho his comments don't go through.
we haven't heard from him since our comeback. :)
redsock & l-girl: I've been wondering how the spam/trolling has been lately. Did it tail off at all after the MFY headed for the golf course?
I thought of that earlier in the day as well...wondering as to the necessity of the modding...
LOL! Buck: "Hinske...who has been a major part of the BENCH this year"
All three brands still seem to be sold (at least the names are still used). Are college kids still drinking that stuff?
dammit ococ, i was relying on you for my taco.
just kidding. i support the dimmer.
I'd prefer the term janitor. Mop-up man, know what I'm sayng
Formula 1 is the best, but having to get up at 2 in the morning to watch some of the races, really, really sucks.
and why does one have to get up at 2 a.m. to watch such a thing?
Hawkins does exactly what every pitching coach preaches not to do - shows the ball to the batter way too early.
The explanation from Akabakkaagak is interesting - I'm going to run it past the Wake Forest coaches for a critique
dammit ococ, i was relying on you for my taco.
You're not the only one!
as espn radio was going to commerical, I heard what sounded like a nice ovation for gagne.
Allan, I did send it to you the following day. To the JOS email address. You didn't get it, I guess. Weird. I will resend.
erectile disfunction commercial during the WS? Super Bowl this is not, I guess.
and why does one have to get up at 2 a.m. to watch such a thing?
I think it's almost exclusively European.
i used to be a big nascar fan until i grew up.
Ricky Craven? lol...I remember that name from ads at a Video Rental Trailer up my mom's way, in Belfast...yes, video rental TRAILER.
the taco promotion will continue into tomorrow night, by the way.
fin!
can gagne just intentionally allow a stolen base to get america their taco? i'll forgive everything if he does!
nascar, formula 1, i wouldn't know the difference if the cars drove by me right now. don't get the appeal of it at all.
formula 1, takes elite skill on the side of driver and constructor. it's the apex of motor racing internationally. only a handful of men around the world are up to scruff.
nascar, bunch of rednecks who only drive left and hope ppl crash to make it interesting.
i was at that WS game in 1996
Wow! Who gives a shit about past history again! Especially with two completely different teams!!!!!
"Largest margin of victory" bullshit - go fuck yourselves, retards!
(had to appease the mississauga audience ;-))
DOMINANT!
DRINK!
(Both teams who've won by 11 runs in Game One lost the series)
Gulp ... Good thing we're going to win by 12!!
Ladies and gentlemen, your record breaking, 2007 American League Champion, Boston Red Sox!
OK, I re-sent it. Let me know if you get it, okay?
the taco promotion will continue into tomorrow night, by the way.
Yeah, its if someone steals a base in the entire series, isn't it...
McMoron: "It's just one game"
True, but it's also 25% of a World Series title. I'm not really a glass is half stupid guy.
I think it's almost exclusively European.
no, just mostly not in the americas.
and why does one have to get up at 2 a.m. to watch such a thing?
L-girl - only a couple of races in the western hemisphere. 1 in toronto, 1 in s.A. and 1 in Indianapolis, others are in Europe and asia!
*cues up the Standells with "Dirty Water"*
Frik. I thought it was TWO games. McMoron.
got it this time!
Wow, Gagne is pitching, and I am not even concerned one bit.
so tonight i learned what formula one is. thanks chief.
i won't go around repeating tdcg's nascar/formula1 difference. somehow i think she might be a tad biased.
Ricky Craven? lol...I remember that name from ads at a Video Rental Trailer up my mom's way, in Belfast...yes, video rental TRAILER.
YES! Until he fell off the face of the earth, haha. Before the 2004 World Series win, Ricky Craven won a race in Darlington, SC and that was the single best sports day for my family.
Of course, it was really only because Craven was from Maine. And that was before I figured out that people outside of Maine were relevant too. There's some strange brainwashing thing going on in Maine, where it seems like everywhere else either doesn't exist or is an inferior land.
But I digress.
1 to go :)
This is fun, let's do it again :)
Let's do it 3 more times :)
Let's do it in the road :)
Let's.... oops, started late, but apparently caught up.
nascar, bunch of rednecks who only drive left and hope ppl crash to make it interesting.
Hey, I resemble that remark!! (j/k)
That's good! I hate when emails don't go through. Makes me wonder how many others got lost in cyberspace.
the lights just dimmed.
*plays Dirty Water*
AWESOME!!!!!!!
DO IT AGAIN.....TONIGHT!!!!
Hey wow. The game is over. I kept thinking it said the 8th inning.
Let's do it in the road :)
Heh, WHY DONT WE DO IT IN THE ROAD!!!
"a performance you can't ignore"
WHO WOULD jack.
Love that dirty WATAH!!!!
Yeah, let's repeat this tomorrow night. Why not?!
So, Game One was a easy one. I foresee good things ahead.
That is SO dumb. This whole history of big wins in Game 1. So damn annoying.
chris myers, asking the tough questions to youk.
"is there any danger in winning by such a huge margin?"
Ken Rosenthal is short. Like, my size short.
love the "Tek" on Tek's vest!
good night all! see you tomorrow :)
Tek: He was good, he was good. Re Beckett.
He seemed a little unsure there. Weird.
Hey - FOX GOT SOMETHING RIGHT!!
They interviewed TEK !
Call a real news station, quick!
Ok, here is the down not caveat to this win.
This year the Sox have only won 5 games in a row three times. The last time 7/20 to 7/24. Can they win 5 in a row in the playoffs?
I say yeah boy!!!
I am off to bed. Hope to be back in my hotel to watch Game 2 tomorrow night. Made sure I had wireless in the room, so see you then!
good night everyone! 1 down, 3 to go!
hehe, tek. in his hat. always :)
night l-girl!
ps. i think tek was just like 'uh, yeah of course he was good idiot' but didn't wanna say that.
I think Tek was trying to think of something to say beyond "He was good." The second time he said it, it more like "He was good."
well, i don't like overconfidence, but i'm feeling like by the time this gets back to coors field, the rockies will have about 2 fans left (which is about where they were a week before the postseason started).
DOMINANT !
Drink.
Or maybe I'll just go to bed -
night all!
i like the quote on yahoo: 'boston tee party'
Remdawg- This is the world series and we are sitting here bored. Just ridiculous.
byrnes -- oh TOMORROW is the game the Rox are supposed to win.
idiot.
Always fun to watch a smokeshow. Sorry about my absence since I was enjoying the game with my brother in Mission Hill. Go forth Sox and continue to do great things.
I'm out y'all - see ya tomorrow!
Let's make it even bigger!
(that's what she said! oh!) /office
speakin of office - damn, gonna have to download tomorrow's ep or watch it at 12am on my slingbox!
anyway lates!
Eck basically calling McMoron a, well, moron. lol
