Red Sox and Cardinals Begin World Series Tonight
« on: October 23, 2013, 01:55:22 PM »
Pretty awesome...For once, the two best teams in Major League Baseball will square off at Fenway tonight.

Gotta love it!  (helps that I live in NH and I'm a Sox fan!)

Any predictions?  I say Sox in 7 games.  Cardinals are a great team, but the Red Sox really do seem like a team of destiny this year!

THE PICK: Cardinals in four

WHY THE CARDINALS WILL SWEEP: Yadier Molina, the last active Cardinal from the 2004 team that got swept by the Red Sox, gathers his teammates before Game 1 at Fenway Park. It's not difficult to assemble them, because the visitors' locker room is the size of a shoebox, and also because it's always easy for Molina to assemble the Cardinals — he just uses the telepathic brain implant that all Cardinals receive upon their arrival in St. Louis. "This is for the Cardinal Way," Molina explains. "You already know about Marlon Anderson and Kiko Calero, about Matt Morris and Woody Williams, about Cal Eldred. But there was another guy on that team. Mike Matheny. He's the same one who's our manager now." A hush falls over the room. "We do this for him," they say in unison. The Cardinals operate with the machine-like efficieny of the cyborgs that they have become, but each is still, at heart, a man with his own motivation. For Molina, it is revenge. For Adam Wainwright, it's a belief that beards are to be properly groomed and maintained. For Carlos Beltran, it's the last item on a lengthy career to-do list. For Joe Kelly, it's America. For Matt Adams, it's the promise of having a sandwich named after him at his neighborhood deli, a sandwich that he will get to eat free for life. For me, it's about having made a preseason pick that actually has a chance to be correct, and sticking with that. That's why it's Cardinals in four.

I don't have a dog in this fight.  I'm an American League fan, but love the Cardinals fans and fan-base, especially as a native Midwesterner.  So I shall root for them.

Wow!  This guy is ballsy.  A sweep? Really?  With the Red Sox having home field advantage--he's saying they won't win a single game, even at Fenway?

I think this guy is due to eat some crow the next few days.

Sox in 6.

I love this time of year, where I can sit at home, watch the leaves turn, and watch the World Series.

Just like the Yankees.

Tough loss for the Cards, but I have no doubt they will bounce back.

I think they just were shell shocked in the early innings and couldn't recover

Cards pull off the split. A sweep is still possible. A home sweep at Saint Louis !

Well it took to the 7th inning of the 2nd game, but maybe the Cards are actually going to show up to the park to play. Up until then they looked like they didn't really want to be there.

I'm rooting for the Sox for one reason only...David Ross. He was one of my favs as a Brave; and I really want him to get a ring.

I think the Cards will take two of these in St. Louis, the Red Sox one, and the Sox will win the final two in Fenway.

Obstruction call on the Sox 3rd baseman on an inaccurate throw from the catcher in trying to gun down Craig, who is sliding into 3rd. Ball sails into left field, the Sox 3rd baseman is on the ground, belly side down, his legs go up, Craig picks himself up from his slide into 3rd, trips on the 3rd baseman's legs, and the ump calls "obstruction" which is this rule:

OBSTRUCTION is the act of a fielder who, while not in possession of the ball and not in the act of fielding the ball, impedes the progress of any runner..

Intent does not matter.

Interference is called a lot more frequently, but it and obstruction are essentially two sides to the same coin. The run didn't score on the obstruction. The walkoff obstruction was caused by a very ill advised throw by the Sox catcher.
