Threeeee!

How disappointed do you think Joe Buck and Tim McCarver were that:

1)  Manny didn’t make an error in that ‘vast’ outfield?

2) Papi didn’t make an error manning first base with his bad knees? *

3) Matsuzaka didn’t implode?

4) Coco Crisp got a hit after they ranted about Francona putting him in?

5) Manny getting thrown out at home didn’t have any affect on the final score?

6) The Red Sox came back and added on to that one-run lead? 

 See, the things that make Schmuck and McAsswipe sad make me very happy!

Can you all grasp that next season we’re going to have Pedroia and Ellsbury in the same lineup ALL SEASON LONG?  🙂

How amazing were they?  7 hits between them.  7-10 with 4 RBI.  Thank you, rookies, thank you!

Another game where the entire team came through!  And for the ones who didn’t (I’m looking at you, bullpen) the team came back and picked them up. 

*If one more person tries to convince me that Papi can’t play first base, I will stomp on them until they are teeny pieces of dust.  You’ve been warned.

Kudos to the Rockies for making a game of it.  Longest 9-inning game in World Series history.  I could have lived without the stupid rally towels, but aside from that, the fans and the team really  hung in there.  Good job!

With Lester on the mound tomorrow night, I have my first concern that the Sox could lose a game.  I truly, TRULY hope he proves me wrong because I am NOT one of those fans who thinks it would be okay to lose a couple of games and then have the team win it in Boston.  I want them to win and I want them to win quickly, dammit!  It’s nice to have  a 3-0 cushion, though, knowing the pitching is going to be a little suspect for us tomorrow night.  Thanks for that, fellas.

Tomorrow will possibly be one of the longest days in my life.  Not that I’m complaining.  (Okay, I’m complaining a little.  Saturday and Sunday World Series games should start earlier than 8:30pm!)

I know a couple who will be at the game tomorrow night.  It would make me very happy for them to see the Sox win it all in person.  Here’s hoping, eh fans?
