Boston Red Sox Win World Series

I'm going to go ahead an call this one. The Boston Red Sox have won the 2007 World Series. Even when the Colorado Rockies got close, The Red Sox would come out and score 10 runs. The Red Sox took the fire that the got at the end of the ALCS and carried it right into the World Series, meanwhile the Rockies have seemed dead since game 1. Looks like the layoff after the NLCS wasn't a good thing for Colorado.

This is the 2nd World Series Championship for the Boston Red Sox in the last 4 years. Considering they went 80-some odd year without winning, that's quite a run. Even better for them is that the Yankees have been biting it over the past several years.

The Red Sox look to be lined up for many years to come so don't be surprised if you see them back in for the 2008 World Series.

Boston Beats Crap Out of Rockies in Game 1

Rocktober indeed.

Currently it is only the 7th inning of Game 1, but I'm going to go ahead and say that the Boston Red Sox are beating the crap out of the Colorado Rockies. The Red Sox are winning 12-1 and Josh Beckett has been all but unstoppable. He gave up a few hits in the earlier innings, but right now he has 9 strikeouts. Ridonkulous.

Anyways, I think the Rockies are a fun team so hopefully the rest of the series goes a big better for them. If they go back to Denver and are down 2-0, I don't know that there is much of a chance for them. Boston is racking up points like candy (They outscored Cleveland 30-5 in the final 3 games of the ALCS) and they could really light up the bang box that is Coors Field.

Of course the game didn't start right at 8pm tonight but Game 2 is listed to start at 8pm on Thursday.

World Series Game 1 Tonight

Game 1 of the 2007 World Series will be played tonight in Boston. The game will air on Fox and begins at 8pm ET.

Starting for the Boston Red Sox will be 27 year old Josh Beckett. Josh Beckett won 20 games this year, with an ERA of 3.27. Beckett was just named the American League Championship Series MVP and is a candidate for the Cy Young Award.

Pitching for the Colorado Rockies will be 26 year old Jeff Francis. Coming in at 6'5", Francis can be a presence on the mound. With 17 wins and a 4.22 ERA, Jeff Francis doesn't have quite the stats of Josh Beckett, but it will be a good matchup.

This is the Boston Red Sox 11th World Series appearance and the Colorado Rockies 1st World Series appearance.

Game 2 Starting Pitchers

Starting for the Colorado Rockies in Game 2 will be 23 year old Ubaldo Jimenez. Jimenez was originally signed as an unrestricted free agent has has been up and down from the minors. As a result of his recent movement, his record this year through 15 appearances has is 4wins and 4losses.


Starting for the Boston Red Sox will be 40 year old Curt Schilling. A 19 year veteran, Schilling has been through the postseason many times and has 200 career victories and 3,000 career strikeouts.

Game 2 of the 2007 World Series will be held at Fenway Park in Boston. The game begins at 8pm Eastern Time on Thursday, Oct 25th and will be broadcast live on Fox.

Colorado Rockies World Series Update 2007

The big news around the Colorado Rockies has been about their World Series tickets sales system. A few days ago they opened up ticket sales online and the system crashed, apparently due to an "attack" in which people were attempting to hoard more tickets than they were allowed.


On Tuesday the Rockies reopened their online ticket sales and sold out more than 50,000 World Series tickets within 2.5 hours.

Complaints have been flying around about the online ticket sales as not all fans have access to the internet and fans that have a faster internet connection or more than one computer would have a much better chance of getting into the system and getting tickets.

Boston Red Sox World Series 2007 Update

Pitcher Tim Wakefield has been left off the Boston Red Sox 2007 World Series roster due to a bad shoulder. Wakefield pitched once this postseason, allowing five runs in 4 2/3 innings in Game 4 of the AL Championship Series against the Cleveland Indians.

Jacoby Ellsbury will start World Series Game 1 in center field for the Boston Red Sox. Coco Crisp is their susual center fielder but he has struggled in the playoffs. Coco Crisp was brought into the game in the 9th inning of the American League Championship Series and banged his knee during the final play of the game.
