We’re about an hour from the first pitch in Game 2 of the World Series, which means that by the time you read this post, the game will probably be over. So how was it for you?
Instead of providing you with predictions and insight that will be obsolete in 4 hours, I’m going to make 20 post-game statements before the game even starts. We’ll see how many of these I can nail perfectly.
Pre-Game Post Game Thoughts on Game 2:
1. Schilling’s line wasn’t bad…4 earned runs over 5 and 2/3 innings.
2. Who would have thought Brad Hawpe and Willy Tavares would combine for more hits than Kevin Youkilis and Manny Ramirez?
3. Manny’s helmet flew off his head again. Dude needs to switch to a L from that XL.
4. Thank you Willy Tavares for earning me a free taco on October 30th with that stolen base in the 6th inning.
5. Ubaldo Jimenez was throwing some laser beams, hitting 100 MPH on the gun more than once.
6. Boston outhit Colorado for the second straight game.
7. Jiminez not only struck out more batters than Schilling, he also walked less. Nice outing for the rookie.
8. That catch by Ellsbury was amazing.
9. The Red Sox laid down more bunts than the Rockies tonight.
10. Ellsbury stealing third caught everyone off guard…including me.
11. Big Papi’s home run almost landed in Colorado.
12. Manny wasn’t really hustling on that play.
13. I never thought I’d see that day that Manny Corpas would walk out of the bullpen with no pants on.
14. Papelbon struck out more batters than he left on base.
15. Can you believe John Kerry streaked naked onto the field like that?
16. Matt Holliday busted for using a corked bat? Who would have thought.
17. J.D. Drew’s Strikeouts + Mike Lowell’s Walks = Torrealba’s base hits + Helton’s doubles
18. Varitek hit for the cycle! amazing!
19. Garret Atkins should be suspended for all of next year for tripping Pedroia as he rounded third. He should be suspended for 5 years after that for pulling out a tazer and tazing Dustin multiple times in the small of his back.
20. The team with the most runs won the game.
