Well I got a good night’s sleep last night because we’re not going to get much of it.
It seems if Deval Patrick isn’t much of a Red Sox fan(shocking)
Well, I won't harrass him for that. Not everybody cares about baseball. It's not like there is a requirement that the governor of a state has to be a fan of every professional sport in that state.
Heck, even in New York City, the Mets hardly ever got an encouraging word from Giuliani when he was mayor.
Rooodi, by the way, is cheering for the Red Sox in this World Series. I, on the other hand, would like to see the National League do well, so I am pulling for the Rockies.
You are right,but if you’re going to make public comments about the team, take five or ten minutes before you face the press and get a few facts before sounding like a dope.
They predicted them to make the World Series, and that was pretty unpredictable.
I think that Tavarez may not be available physically. Because Tito selected both Gagne and Snyder over him and Tavarez seemed to be a no-brainer for the WS games in Denver.

The Rockies have lost a grand total of 1, count ‘em, 1 game over the past 39 days.
Cool, they’re obviously way over due :)
The 1967 A.L. pennant race ... the best ever.
Hope you are out of harms way and can check in tonight.
Rudy being Rudy
You have one of my all time favorite managers in Lou (formerly of my home town Mariners). There is hope!!
Thanks for putting up this World Series thread. Were you going to put up a thread every day or will this be the ongoing thread for the entire series? If this is the main live thread for the series, then I will earmark it.
Yeah, it’s the whole series thread. The ALCS thread hit 3000+ posts and it was kind of neat that it was so massive.
if i were colorado the only thing i would be doing is going back to that one game that cut the streak in two, and see what went wrong. im glad to see a team like colorado make it to the WS, but theyre going to lose in six. go sox!
In game 3 at Coors Field, who sits for the Red Sox, Youkilis, Ortiz, or Lowell? Youk had a hot bat in the ALCS. Ortiz big bat protects Manny as Manny bat protects Ortiz, and taking Lowell's out of the line up hurts too.
Youk and Lowell are interchangeable at third. I don't think you put Ortiz anywhere else except at first base. Will Francona put Lowell or Youk in the outfield?
This will probably come down to game day decisions by Francona. Tito should start the 2 hottest bats.
What say you?
Listened to an interview at lunch with Francona, depends on Ortiz's knee, if he can play first it will be Lowell sitting Youk at third. He won't even entertain the thought of Youk in the outfield or Lowell and second.
I think all 3 will sit one game out but be the pinch hitter when needed. Youk will certainly be Ortiz’ defensive replacement.
