It's Just One Game!!! Miles to go before they sleep. I remember a scrappy championship team being an inning away from elimination in the 2004 ALCS ...
Jason Stark: You can mark down that 13-1 score as the most lopsided Game 1 blowout in World Series history. And if you want to chalk that up to ... A) the Christy Mathewson of his generation (a.k.a. Josh Beckett) and B) the hottest lineup ever to march to home plate in the annals of 103 Octobers.
Jerry Crasnick: The Red Sox welcomed the Rockies to town with a full-course beatdown menu Wednesday night. It began with a Boston schoolyard tradition -- the atomic wedgie -- followed by a noogie, a nose twist, and the obligatory forfeiture of lunch money and loss of dignity.
These Red Sox are better hitters than Version 2004. But beyond Beckett, Okajima, and Papelbon, the pitchers are vulnerable. I'm short a few WS.4GAMES.BOS, even though I'm long MLB.REDSOX.
