Okay, the title of this article is a bit over the top, isn't it?
So the Boston Red Sox ripped the Colorado Rockies' pitchers like it was batting practice. So Josh Beckett made it look like their lineup was on Valium.
Eight days is a long time to be off. By the time the World Series goes to Colorado, maybe the Rockies will have their hitting clothes on again. If the snow is not too deep.
Assuming that there will be an idle day here or there for travel, if this series goes six or seven days, they will be playing baseball well into November. Since when did major league baseball become the NBA?
During their miracle season of 1969, the Baltimore Orioles won game one in their home stadium and Don Buford led off the game with a home run. This might have been part of Clint Hurdle's post game pep talk to his shell-shocked team. Of course the Rockies need vintage Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman, and Nolan Ryan to cool off the Boston hitters.
