9:17- Starting a little late, thanks to the Public Policy paper due tomorrow. I'll be live blogging tonight's World Series Game 1 and doing some casual cheering for the Sox. Very casual. We're already once through the Sox lineup which started with 3 straight K's dealt by Josh Beckett, and a 3 run first for the Sox highlighted by a lead off HR for tiny ROY Dustin Pedroia. It's currently 3-1.
9:22- Youk goes 1st to home on an Ortiz double that barely cleared the glove of Rockies SS Troy Tulowitzki! The Greek God of Speed! 4-1 Good Guys.
9:40- Uh oh, they're showing the Doppler. Rain is falling steady at Fenway... this isn't good!
9:53- Beckett K's his 6th with a man on second in the top of the 4th. Man is he dealing tonight. I swear, the guy gets even better under the spotlight. He's some kind of awesome.
9:54- Posted that too soon. 7 K's through 4 for Beckett heading into the bottom of the inning with a 4-1 lead.
10:11- Varitek with a 2 RBI double down the left field line to put the Sox up 6-1 with two out and men on second a third. A hit here by Drew blows this game wide open for the Sox.
10:24- Beckett with 8 strikeouts and only 1 walk through 5 innings of work. Can we pitch him every day?
10:37- Game = blown open. After Ellsbury gets balked to second, Youk drives him in on a double and is driven in himself by Big Papi who scorches his own double to right center. 8-1 Red Sox, bottom 5.
10:48- It's official: the game is a laugher. 10-1 with the bases loaded, bottom of the 5th still. Who's pitching tomorrow?
11:02- 34 minutes later, the inning is finally over. 7 runs later, one is left wondering... Sox in 4 or 5?
11:16- Live blogging update on my paper: onto page 3! It's a nail-biter, folks!
11:25- Anyone wanna guess when this will end? I have to get some sleep.
11:28- Buck and McCarver wondering why Beckett is out there in the 7th with a 12 run lead. Well, gee, he only has 81 pitches and why burn more relievers when you don't know what tomorrow will bring? He'll be pitching on full rest anyway in Game 5... why the need to conserve him now?
11:43- Still 13-1 heading into the 8th. Yawn.
12:07- Gagne finishes off the game that has gone on into tomorrow. 13-1 final and we'll see you later for game two!
By the way, are we positive Josh Beckett is not the second coming? It deserves to at least be investigated. I could believe it.
