Red Sox One Victory Away

Cindarella is not going to make it to the ball. You never
know what is going to happen in baseball, but even
the most optomistic Rockies fan is thinking that just
getting to the World Series was special. The Rockies
are going to join the Padres and Brewers as World
Series participants without a ring. 22 times in World
Series history has a team been down 3 games to 0.
Only three times the Series was extended to a fifth
game. No team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit
in the World Series. But as we all know, the Red Sox
came back from a 3-0 deficit in the ALCS in 2004.

Are the Red Sox a dynasty? Sure looks that way with
the two rookies, Dustin Pedroia and Jacoby Ellsbury
getting seven knocks last night. First time in World Series
history that two rookies each had three or more hits
for the same team in the same game. Ortiz is 31,
Ramirez 35, Varitek 35, Youkilis 28, Beckett 27,
Matsuzaka 27 and Papelbon 26. There are many
unknowns in baseball. The success of the pitching staff
and avoiding injuries are key ingredients in getting to the
World Series again. Whether Schilling 40 and Lowell 33,
come back or not, the Red Sox have the nucleus to make
another run next year. I am predicting both will be back.
