I’m not a Cardinal fan, though they involve one of my earliest baseball memories(first World Series I remember). So I guess I could fill in for tonight. :)

I’m pleasantly surprised that they overturned that horrendous call.

I missed the 1st what happened. How did the Red Sox score?

Ellsbury walked, Petey got a single. Big Papi got a single. Petey ran to 2nd, the 2nd baseman (Kozma?) tagged Petey. At first it looked like Petey WAS out, but on further review (thank goodness Farrell challenged it), it was obvious that the Cards' 2nd baseman never had the ball in his glove, and it dropped out.

The umps originally had Petey out, so runners on first and third. The 6 umpires got together and overruled the bad call! So the bases were loaded when Napoli hit it to the outfield. 3 runs scored!

I think they said the play was an E6.

I’m not a “fan” exactly of any non-Chi team. Too much of a homer. ;) I do like the Cardinals though, great organization.

I gotta got with Boston though in honor of a friend’s late mother.

Thanks, Impy. I was so excited that Napoli got a hit with the bases loaded, I didn't even notice it was a double!

Thanks for the details. I see on MLB.com that Wainright was charged with 2 earned runs in the 1st.

Ortiz just flatten out that shot a little like he hit the other night, Beltran likely doesn’t get there in time to rob him.

What’s interesting is that ~4 years ago the g/f took me to an event at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston and Mumbles spoke; he did fine. I could understand him perfectly.

In fact we both said to each other: “Does he put on an act the other times he speaks?”

“You’re right. No doubt the next Boston mayor will be further left than Menino.”

Unfortunately, yes. I hope Boston doesn’t turn crappy like Providence mostly has since Cianci went to Club Fed. I hope Connolly wins; he seems to be a shade less worse than Walsh, who’s a union goon.

“Lester sharp tonight.”

Very. Resign him long term and dump Buchholtz.

“Ortiz just flatten out that shot a little like he hit the other night, Beltran likely doesn’t get there in time to rob him.”

Agreed.

I am thinking:

If Sox get 7-run lead, Lester comes out before 75 pitches and he can go in game 4 on short rest.

Farrell:
Farrell does not think like that, however.

Matheny:
Matheny may want to pull that stunt by getting Wainwright out early.
