First!?
GO SOX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are starting the game six minutes earlier on Thursday because they know that Schilling has a slower delivery.
John Williams, reknowned American composer and conductor and five-time Academy Award winner will conduct America’s orchestra, the Boston Pops, in the playing of the Star Spangled Banner prior to Game One. Recording artist Ashanti, will sing God Bless America during the seventh inning stretch.
Yastrzemski, who amassed 3,419 hits and 452 home runs in a 23-year major league career, will be joined by manager Dick Williams and 20 players from the 1967 Impossible Dream Red Sox: Mike Andrews, Gary Bell, Dennis Bennett, Darrell Brandon, Galen Cisco, Hank Fischer, Russ Gibson, Dalton Jones, Bill Landis, Jim Landis, Jim Lonborg, Dave Morehead, Jerry Moses, Rico Petrocelli, Bill Rohr, Jose Santiago, Norm Siebern, Lee Stange, Jerry Stephenson, and George Thomas. Richie Conigliaro, the brother of the late Tony Conigliaro, will also participate in the pre-game ceremony.
There will also be a flyover from the 158 Fighter Wing of the Vermont National Guard.
I’m a die hard Cub fan (flame suit ready) but I’ve been rooting for the BoSox through the playoffs. They used to be just like us (no WS for close to 100 years)if it can happen to them, maybe it can happen to us.
Plus I’m just a passionate baseball fan and man do I love watching Beckett pitch. Curt Schilling being a pubbie is pretty cool too.
So, go Sox and it sux that in a week and a half, I’ve gotta wait for months to see baseball again.
The Tulsa Driller (Rockies farm team) coach was killed this season by a line drive to his head.
Rockies are a class act and I hope they win.
There are 13 former Tulsa Drillers on the Colorado Rockies.
Did AccuScore predict the Rockies winning 21 of their last 22 games?
That’s what I thought...
Go Boston BSoxs from Biggirl!!!!
My prediction: Boston in 5 games taking the championship. :)
Gag-me is STILL on the roster? If Francona needed an 11th pitcher, why not Tavarez?
At any rate, LET’S GET IT ON!!!
Why would the Red Sox pick Kyle Snyder over Julian Tavarez for the final pitchers spot? Tavarez can definitely pitch more innings with a better result than what Snyder can do IMHO. I pick Colorado to sweep Boston, but I do hope that I’m wrong on this and that the series ends up going the full seven games no matter who ends up winning it. The TV ratings should be decent with the Boston Red Sox still in it.
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)
Rudy being Rudy
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.
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!
Once again the Rockies enter a series with no expectations. And oddly even though they keep winning and winning, it doesn’t change.
How many times did Beckett face the Rockies this year and win?
Who scored the most runs in their matchup?
The Rockies are the team of destiny. They are this year’s Marlins.
I have to hand it to you, FRiend... You believed in the Red Sox in the ALCS, and I didn't. I was certain the Indians would end up in the WS. You are a true Red Sox fan. :o)
