T-Bone Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Man, if all the games in this World Series is going to be like this, my heart is not going to take it.

Strange how quickly Wakefield lost it tonight. Francona jinxed him during the between inning interview! Better hope Foulke's arm doesn't fall off.

Indy Dave Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Boston throws its worst starter and he gets rocked. The Red Sox defense looks like complete crap. The Cardinals score nine runs and don't make an error. And the Red Sox win. I'd say you guys are in great shape. The pressure was on St. Louis to win the first game. For one, they had to cool off Boston, which just beat the Yankees four straight. More importantly, now the Cards face Schilling and Pedro. Advantage Boston. Then again, that's why you play the games. I just think the Cards needed Game 1 and they didn't get it done. Top of the eighth...bases loaded and one out with two of their better hitters coming up and they didn't take the lead. They will be thinking about that for a while.
Thurman's Helmet Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Larry Walker can flat out mash! Their 2-5 hitters are phenominal but the Cards problem could be their lack of depth on their bench and at the bottom of their lineup. Schilling tomorrow night, Sox at least have to hold serve at home and hope to take a game or more on the road.

Renteria's error on Varitek's grounder in the 8th which was then followed by Bellhorn's go ahead HR that made the difference. You could argue that the ball that hurt Womack could have been an error. Anyone know his status?

The error was one thing, but for a second I thought his knee was going to buckle.

Anyone know his status? 81876[/snapback] I think they called Varitek's ball a hit. With Varitek's lack of speed, Renteria might have thrown him out had he fielded it cleanly. Could have been scored either way. Ortiz smoked that ball that hurt Womack. That was definitely a hit. If he fields it cleanly, it may have been a doubleplay and would have prevented a run, but like I said, that's definitely a hit. He scorched it and it took a weird hop. Just saw the graphic on SportsCenter. Looks like they did call an error on Renteria. My mistake.
Beerball Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Anyone know his status? 81876[/snapback] X-rays negative.
Indy Dave Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Anyone know his status? 81876[/snapback] ESPN just said that x-rays on Womack came back negative.
gmac17 Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 1 down, 3 to go! I'm headed up to Boston in the morning, will hopefully be at the game tomorrow night.....
Thurman's Helmet Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Glad to see that Womack is okay. I feared for a minute that Manny tore the crap out of his knee too.
Foxboro Mike Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Good opener to the Fall Classic. Neither team covered themselves in glory tonight. Even though 20 runs were scored, many more were left on the field. Both teams like they were hung over from the LCSes. Looking for a well-pitched, more clean game played tomorrow night!
Corp000085 Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Both teams like they were hung over from the LCSes. Looking for a well-pitched, more clean game played tomorrow night! mike, i believe shilling will dominate tomorrow I only saw the first inning and innings 8 and 9 (see my computer saga thread for details on why i didn't watch the game). What i did see was a great STL team that ran into destiny. The sox seem to just take whatever's thrown at them and they find a way to win. Hopefully that Dr. will put in his 4 stitches and life will be great. Well, except for a patriots loss tomorrow. Go sox, go jets, and GO BILLS!
BF_in_Indiana Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Misguided statements abound in this thread, too many to list. Boston won, good job, you have to win 4 though, not one.

wwovince Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 1 down 3 to go with out best 2 pitchers going next 2 days. I like our chances. GO SOX!!
Ray Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 I agree the Sox are in good position. A win tonight is huge as when they go to St. Louis they are pitching Pedro, Lowe, and Wakefield. Should be a great series. But you Sox fans should be happy you played defense like crap, your pitching staff was exposed by a good hitting team (not a Yankee team that went up to the plate flailing away) and you still win. Should give you guys confidence!
cåblelady Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Mine either...I'm dying here....whew! 3 to go! 81873[/snapback] Jan.....you must get rid of that disgusting avatar. If you need to have socks there, I'll take a picture of my Bills socks and send it to you.
IDBillzFan Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Hey folks...with Schilling and Morris starting tonight, does anything think these teams can again collectively put a lot of runs on the board? The ova/unda is 10 1/2. Last night's game it was 11 1/2 and I opted to ignore the bet. Will this series be slugfest hell...and more importantly, do you think the Cards can hit Schilling?
