Red Sox are up 2-0 in the World Series — 13 Comments
My grandfather’s generation was born, lived and died without seeing the Sox win the World Series. We are very fortunate to live now.
In doing some reading about the series, I came to the realization that I am out of touch with baseball 2018. (Guess that happens when you read one baseball article every three months. 🙂 ) I had no idea that Dave Roberts was the Dodgers’ manager. Sox fans remember Dave Roberts from the miraculous comback in 2004. In the game as a pinch runner, Dave Roberts stole 2nd base in the 9th inning when the Sox were behind a run and an inning away from losing the ALCS to the Evil Empire. Dave Roberts went on to score while the Sox went on to win the game, the ALCS, and the World Series. And now he manages the Dodgers against the Sox in the World Series!
Shhhhhhh. 8^)
My worry is that if the Sox win this one and one more, making five early in the century, or even if they win this one in a year ending in ’18, we Sox fans then wander the desert another 86 years.
So just trying to enjoy the ride.
Well, they have to go LA now, leaving the beauties of the fall and playing in dirty air.
That’s too bad. It will make my ex-co-workers from Natick insufferable. Oh well, good thing I’m retired. I won’t have to hear their gloating.
Well done, David Price! All is forgiven.
And crazy pitching from Joe Kelly, yikes!
It’s been my general rule to not give my time or money to ‘millionaires playing with a ball’. So my natural response is ‘oh… the world series is being played??’

Supply and demand. They are millionaires because enormous numbers of people get pleasure from seeing them and are willing to pay to do so.
I wasn’t always a baseball fan, so I understand not being one. But their skills are very very high in a sport that countless people love, and that’s why they make millions. For every one that makes millions, there are plenty more who have to quit early because they’re not successful enough, although their skills are just a tiny bit below the skills of the baseball stars.
The Sox certainly seem to have gotten the number of the Dodgers’ pitching staff.
Too bad the Rockies could never figure out the Dodgers’ pitching.
Me and Julie only like the Cubs.
These redsocks are the real deal. they have effectively taken the title of “Evil Empire” from the Yankees.
I look forward to the media complaints that the redsocks “bought a title”, exactly as I had to listen to over and over again when it was the Yankees spending big bucks on free agents. Yet I doubt I will be hearing such complaints. For some reason, people still love the story of a plucky little team up against the free-spending Yankees juggernaut. Nothing can be further from the truth. Fake News!
