The Red Sox Officially Welcome You To The World Series

As counter indicators go, Rockies fans probably couldn't have had a worse one than seeing Eric Gagne in to finish the game. If Gagne's closing matters out these days, the Red Sox are clearly ahead by a lot.

It is just one game, but man, the Red Sox rained some definitive fire and brimstone on the Rockies last night. THis was a 13-1 blowout that wasn't, in fact, as close as the score indicated. So much for the Rockies' invincibility; that was scary to watch.

Perhaps it's just those ridiculous Rockies vests, but Boston fans are feeling pretty confident this morning.

Seriously. You show up in a purple vest against a dude like Dustin Pedroia and it's like, yeah, he's not only going to take you deep in his first at bat, but he's also going to steal your lunch money and make out with your girlfriend while you watch, Francis. Even I'm still having trouble trying to comprehend the absolute severity of this old school beat down — 9 battahs in a row reached base with 2 outs!? 11 for 15 after two outs through the first five innings!?

Seriously: It's just one game, but ... christ. (So to speak, Rockies.)
