Thanks Curt

Now at least we had a game tonight. The Rockies pitching was able to hold the Sox to only two runs. In the end those runs would stand up as the Final was 2-1.

Nonetheless, you have to feel bad for Matt Holliday getting picked off at first to end the 8th with Helton up to the plate. Would've Helton hit the jack to give Colorado the lead? I'm leaning towards probably.

I can't root against the Sox, but yet I feel bad for the Rockies as their Cinderella run will most likely come to an end. Maybe because I've watched a good portion of it. This World Series is bizarre as usually there's someone to at least root against. I can't remember the last time in any sports finale where both squads were really likable. Maybe I can resolve this conflict by claiming observer status, acting as a proud father and rooting for baseball.

For example, watching Schilling leave the mound, for most likely the last time in Fenway, and tipping his hat for the crowd. The speculation being that he'll probably be dealt next year, so when he got yanked in the fifth, it was most likely the end of his Boston tenure. But what a run he had. They'll most likely build a statue or weird futuristic holographic replica of him in front of Fenway so that kids a hundred years will know why their rocket boots come with blood stains on the heels.

Good for baseball for years to come.
