      Sorrynotsorry SMR.

      I was not expecting a quick series like that. And especially not a game where Price outshone Verlander.

      Go Sox!

        When Cora went with Kimbrel for the 9th, I had flashbacks of 1986. I was sure the Astros would score.

          Yeah Cora managed his relief pitching so carefully I didn’t think he was going to go with Kimbrel. I expected they would let off him after last night. But he looked much better tonight. I hope he’s found his stuff again.

              Dodgers and Red Sox. Thank goodness it wasn't Astros/Brewers.

              I've enjoyed seeing Kershaw have improved playoff performances here toward the end part of his career. Nice to see him get the last three outs tonight.

                  Should be a fun series, but I think the Sox win in 6.

                    Hard to root against Dave Roberts, who should be remembered eternally for the stolen base that started The ComebackTM. He has done a great job with the Dodgers.

                    Red Sox are only slightly favored to win the WS. I wonder if people are skittish about Sale and Price. But I can't imagine the offense that mowed through the Astros will have too much of a problem with the Dodgers. Sox in 6 sounds about right.

                      ya'll are probably right, but I can hope can't I. After all it is the 30 anniversary of Kirk Gibson's home run

                        Lots of fun story lines between these two teams. Alex Cora was a fan favorite during his time in Dodger blue. He was a wizard at 2nd base and was always working 2-strike counts into walks. He and Dave Roberts were teammates for several years on the Blue, and were teammates in 04, when Roberts was traded to Boston at the trade deadline (a trade that set up the Stolen Base Heard Round the World). Cora is also involved in my favorite Dodger moment that i've witnessed in-person:

                        During that '04 summer, I was in law school and was clerking in LV at a small firm. It was basically a two man firm, and they were still figuring out how to take full advantage of a full-time clerk and keep me busy. Early in the summer, both partners were gone and I was basically sitting around twiddling my thumbs for 8 hours a day. I get a text from my best friend from HS (also a Dodger fan) that basically says "This afternoon I'm driving from St. George to a Dodger game. Let me know if I should stop and pick you up." I looked around at an office with a paralegal who spent 8 hours a day meeting guys in Yahoo chat rooms and a receptionist who took calls and spent the rest of her time on ebaumsworld. I decided sneaking out the back door a few hours early couldn't hurt. My buddy picked me up and we drove straight through to Chavez Ravine.

                        Dodgers were playing the Cubs, and we snagged some decent Loge seats along the first base side. I remember paying $45.00 for our tickets and feeling like that was a LOT of money to be dropping on a frolic to a baseball game. It all became worth it when I got to witness one of the great regular-season at bats of all time:

                              In 1978, I was a lunch guest (law firm summer clerk thing) where the host regaled us with his story about that game (the one that Ruth won as a pitcher--the Sox won the Series two days later), as he was in attendance. The 90-year-old host was a partner emeritus of the firm, and was largely responsible for driving out all the Latinos to make way for Dodger Stadium.
