That was impressive, wasn't it?
Let's recap the opening moments of the 2007 World Series: Josh Beckett strikes out the side, including Colorado's MVP Matt Holliday, Dustin Pedrioa opens the game with a homerun, Youklis follows with a double, Hurdle brings the infield in (IN THE 1st INNING?) which helps Manny get an RBI knock, Lowell walks but doesn't get credit for it thanks to a terrible strike call, and J.D. Drew finishes things off with an RBI double.
Welcome to the World Series, Colorado.
Todd Helton played well, but the Rockies looked overwhelmed and out-classed last night. Beckett can certainly do that to you, but what about the Rockies bullpen? Three straight walks?
It will be interesting to see what happens back in Denver when Francona has to remove either Ortiz, Youklis or Lowell from his line-up. That is a big subtraction regardless of who he picks, but now that Drew is swinging the bat, it does not seem quite as devastating.
I hope it isn't true, but I'm thinking sweep after last night. After a 13-1 thrashing, I'm probably not the only one with that idea this morning.
