I don’t care what you think… this is what I think.
I went to bed shortly before 1am this morning after the Red Sox won their 2nd World Series in 4 years. Good bye curse! Hello 2nd ring! It feels great to see this team make it through all the way in my lifetime while others have anguished waiting to see them win, but never have.
and finally, this great play to win the game:
7:37pm Pre-game show
8:20pm The girlfriend called Carrie Underwood as the guest singer… pure luck as a guess
8:37pm Jacoby hits a bunt single…. if we only got 2 free tacos for another steal…
8:40pm another infield hit by Pedroia… a strikeout by Ortiz.
8:45pm Manny needs a hit here and popped up… the stress level from this game is intense. With 2 men on and now 2 outs, Boston needs to capitalize here or they might go down.
8:50pm and of course they dont…
8:59pm Great fielding play by Daisuke fielding a shot up the middle to get the lead runner on 2nd… and Helton grounds out inning over…
9:26pm Papi hits an RBI double… Buck made the wrong call saying Francona should have put Youk in instead of Papi… with the Sox drawing first blood, Buck is stupid
9:29pm Int. walk on Manny and Lowell gets 2RBI single with 0 outs. It could be a long inning for Colorado
9:33pm Manny runs home and gets called out on a very suspect call. It looks like Manny was safe as he touched home plate… maybe not but Daisuke just got a 2RBI 2out hit!!!
9:38pm Ellsbury gets another double to make it 6-0 in the top of the 3rd. Its already a bullpen call for Colorado!
9:53pm Matsuzaka seems like he is destined to pitch an incredible game… Top 4th coming, we’ll see
10:16pm I have ESPN’s GameCast on and listening in on the chat with Rob Neyer, and GameCast is telling me what happens before my TV does! What gives?!
10:57pm Bottom of the 6th and this will probably be the last for Matsuzaka. Youk is in to replace Papi. I know it is cold in Colorado, and Youk remains in short sleeves. He’d better change after this inning.
11:12pm Matsuzaka leaves the game after walking 2, but Lopez comes in and allows them to come in with still only 1 out!!!!
11:45pm Okijima just gave up a 3run homer to make it 6-5, bottom 7th no one out
12:13am Ellsbury and Pedroia both doubled, bringing the score back up to 9-5
12:37am Paplebon in with 1 pitch and the last out in the bottom 8th. Buck and McCarver say that Paplebon just recovered from not only the jet lag, but from the altitude adjustment. Let’s hope that he’s much better tonight
12:42am Holy shit! Lowell stole 3rd without a throw? He must really want that contract!
12:55am Game over, Paplebon shuts them down and Sox up 3 games to 0
Good night! I hope tomorrow’s game isn’t this long!
Like Dave does, I will be live blogging the game this Saturday with reactions and commentary.

Ever see those exclusive releases for certain stores like Target? Or BestBuy? Well take a look at this as there are at least 3 different releases of this movie, each with a different “coolness” factor.
… when I shut off the Sox game when it was 8-6 in favor of the Tribe, I went to bed knowing we wouldn’t have a chance. I was completely correct. Checking the score later on that morning, the Tribe won it 13-6 scoring 7 runs in the top of the 11th. 7 runs!!! How did our bullpen completely fall apart?
The only thing that could have brought my spirits up was the Pats/Cowboys game. And boy did it. It was a great game pitching 2 of the best undefeated teams in the NFL. With the Colts on a bye this week, only 1 team would make it to 6-0. And without a doubt, the Pats pulled through and won 48-27.
I’m sure that Dave will have some posts on both these games. If not, just goto ESPN.com
… and the sox just gave up 2 runs top of 11th. I’m going to bed to dream of a miracle…
A very different branch of Square-Enix’s line of games: Kingdom Hearts, which combined essences of the Final Fantasy Series with Disney. Though I never got to play any of these games, they do look very interesting and very worthwhile to play. Give it a shot!
