I watched part of Game 1 of the World Series last night. Five innings was enough to reaffirm the widespread notion that the National League simply doesn’t measure up to the AL, as by that time the Sox had put up a 13-1 lead on the Rockies. Amazing.
Josh Beckett was pretty much unhittable and is going a long way towards establishing himself as one of the best postseason pitchers of all time. With the win last night, he ran his 2007 playoff record to 4-0, with an ERA of just 1.20. Moreover, he has 35 strikeouts against just two walks, and has worked a total of 30 innings in his four starts. Those numbers are unbelievable!
Well, I don’t know anything about the Rockies, but from seeing what they had to offer in Game 1, I doubt they can make this a competitive series. It seems like those who were predicting a Red Sox sweep will be right on the money!
