Well, tonight was Boston's opportunity to demonstrate how slopping fielding will come back to bite you in the ass. Maybe now John Farrell will consider using Daniel Nava, the eighth leading hitter in the league, over Johnny Gomes? The look on Craig Breslow's face summed it up for me: |

WOW last nights game was a good one. I thought we was going to win it after Big Poppie hit the homerun and we was up by one. I think they should have left Lester in for another inning. Oh well we have this weekend to move ahead <crosses fingers>
I do like good games!!!!!!

my personal opinion is different than what I have read ~ I was very disappointed in the field ~ Lackey gave all he could w. no co operation w/ the exception of Pedroia ~ he ROCKS ~ * I curtsey to the pitching coach of the Cardinals ** Tomorrow night will hopefully be a better outcome ~ disappointed fan ~

It's like they are holding auditions to see who will be the Bill Buckner of the 2013 World Series.
The Sox better plug the holes in their defense. And wake up those bats. They are not on an even pitching playing field with the Cardinals. They have to rely on their strengths. It's not the time to let the 2nd worse team at stealing bases pull double steals on you. The teams are rather evenly matched it's just that their strengths and weaknesses are in different areas of the game. The team who takes the World Series will be the team who finds a way to ramp up their strengths and cover up their weaknesses. Last night that wasn't the Red Sox. Lackey did pretty good balancing the pitching game even though arguably he was not the superior pitcher, but their strengths all but disappeared. |

So has anyone heard if Big Papi is going to play 1st base in St. Louis? There is no DH in the National League parks. I agree that defense is critical, but there is no way I would leave him out of the lineup.
I think St. Louis definitely has the edge in pitching, Boston in big money players who come through in the clutch. It should be interesting. |

Good question BullDog. The media here seems to be avoiding asking or even speculating on who is going to be sitting out in the national league park games. Both Napoli and Ortiz have had super play off stats so sitting either of them is a problem. Napoli is a catcher by trade and there is some talk of putting him behind the plate. But, he is unfamiliar with the pitchers and "out of practice" at the position which could cause problems in and of itself. I cant remember the last time Ortiz played in the field. He wasn't that good at first to begin with. It will be interesting to see the line up tomorrow. |

I did just read an article in the Washington Post that quoted Farrell as saying that Ortiz would likely be at first on Friday, and that they would take it from there. It also said he wouldn't put Napoli behind the plate. That is probably the most likely scenario. Napoli has been great in the playoffs too, so it hurts for the Sox to not have both of them in the lineup. They will have a really good pinch hitter to bring in. The article also said Ortiz only played 6 games at first this year. If needed, Game 6 and 7 will be back in Boston, so that's good news for them because they will go back to the DH in those games.
It was great to see Mo Rivera and his family at Fenway last night! |

Apparently Ortiz will be playing first tonight. Hopefully that ends up being the right decision. Although I don't think there really is any other one Farrell could make at this point.

It isn't that 2007 wasn't special. 2004 was just freakin awesome. To be one out away from being swept by the Yanks in the division playoffs, to winning an unprecedented 4 straight to eliminate the Yanks, to sweeping the Cards.....it was just special. 86 years worth of special. 2007 didnt have the same impact. Or the history. BTW, I did have a hat. It got blown off my head by an unexpected gust of wind while in the middle of the Atlantic. If it had been my 2004 hat, I would have jumped in after it. LOL. |

To be fair, prior to 2004, some people had been waiting from 1918 to say that ... the curse of the Bambino I'm glad to see the Cardinals leading at this stage. The first ever item of baseball memorabilia that I purchased, about 15 years ago, was the Cardinal's program from the 1931 World Series against the Philadelphia Athletics. I bought it simply due to its beautiful cover which had the Cardinals' logo and an illustration of the Spirit of St Louis (Charles Lindberg's plane on the front). So, for that fairly random reason alone, I've always had a soft spot for the Cardinals. Combined with my distaste of the Red Sox, I'm certainly hoping the Cardinals win their third World Series in eight years. |

No Red Sox fan is ever going to like that obstruction call, (we would have loved one in game 3 of the 1975 World Series against the Reds, when Ed Armbrister's obstruction of Carlton Fisk was a no call) but that wasn’t why the Sox lost.
For the second straight game Saltalamacchia, threw a ball away from home plate to third base. And he shouldn’t have even been in the game at that point. When Farrell brought in Workman in the bottom of the 8th instead of putting him in the ninth spot in the order he should have put Ross in for Saltalamacchia in the ninth spot. It would have pushed the pitcher’s slot 7 spots further. Even given that stupid mistake, Workman should never had batted in the ninth, Napoli should have. It was shitty defense coupled with poor game management that lost the game, not the obstruction call. Oh and where the hell did the Red Sox’s offense go? I mean I get that the Cards have good pitching, but still, the Red Sox offense has left the ball park. |
