Yeah that online ticket system sucked it kept timing out and then crashed.
Sox in 6 so we can have the party at home just like last night. =)
A 9 day rest for Colorado is a bad thing. Plus, how long do you really think their winning streak can go? I realize they took 2 out of 3 in Boston back in June, but now the Sox are hot. We don't even need Papi to win at this point. JD Drew has actually become a member of the team, Manny had 10 RBI's in 6 games, Youk is back on track like the beginning of the season which means you won't see Papi playing first in Denver, NO ONE is beating Beckett, Schill and Manny keep thinking about how much money they get when the Sox win the Series, NO ONE is getting shit off Papelbon, Oki is back to normal after a long rest, Dustin is hitting the shit out of the ball, Dice has at least one more game to prove himself a star, Lugo figured out how to hit the ball at least once in a while & beats out all double plays, and Ellsbury is back in the line-up every game. Ya'll Screwed!
A wild-card team is not taking a 7 game series from this powerhouse.

Rockies 12, Red Sox 2
June 13 at Fenway Park
Hawpe's three-run homer in the fifth inning broke what was a close game
into a 12-2 rout for the Rockies over the Red Sox in Game 2 of the
three-game series.
In his first start since throwing a one-hitter against Oakland, Curt
Schilling gave up six runs in five innings, including the homer to
Hawpe, with the Red Sox trailing, 3-2, at the time.
"It was one of those nights; it started out weird, I got it under
control and then just kind of let it get away," said Schilling. "All
six runs were with two outs. Just didn't make that last pitch of the
inning when we had to."
The Rockies added to their lead by scoring three runs apiece in the
sixth and eighth innings. Matt Holliday had three hits and also scored
three runs for the Rockies. Willy Taveras, Kazuo Matsui, Hawpe and Troy
Tulowitzki each added two hits, and Helton drove in four.
Josh Fogg picked up his second victory of the season, holding Boston to two runs in five innings.
Rockies 7, Red Sox 1
June 14 at Fenway Park
The Rockies handed Josh Beckett (9-1) his first loss of the season,
touching up the Red Sox ace for six runs on 10 hits over five innings.
Garrett Atkins had a breakout game, leading the Rockies' assault with a grand slam, single and double.

"He's a good hitter," Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said. "For two
seasons, all we did was throw him praise. Then six weeks into this
season, you've got some people throwing dirt on him."
Holliday also homered off Beckett, and ace Jeff Francis struck out six in five scoreless innings.

A new reason to want the World Series for the Rockies.
Back on July 22, coach Mike Coolbaugh of the Rockies' Double AA
minor league team, the Tulsa Drillers, was killed by a line drive to
the head. It was a totally freak accident, as he was hit on exactly the
right spot that could cause death. Its never happened in baseball
before. Mike Coolbaugh was coaching first base when the tragic accident
happened. Coolbaugh, only 32 years old, left behind a widow and two
young sons. A revered coach with a passion for the game and its players
was so senselessly lost.
The Rockies, in a gesture of pure class, defying this era of selfish and greedy athletes, decided among themselves to award a full share of playoff money
to Mike Coolbaugh's widow. The players thought up the idea, and Rockies
management had no vote or input in this decision. In baseball, teams
that make the playoffs and advance can amass a "pool" worth in the
millions. A typical playoff share may be worth as much as $400,000 per
recipient. The minor league players and coaches do not make the big
money like the major leaguers do. This share to Coolbaugh's widow
should be meaningful as she raises her family.
The vote by the Rockies players was 25-0 -- all players voted yes.
With stories of multi-million dollar contracts in baseball and other
sports, this story needs to be told. Just 15 years old, the Rockies are
not one of baseball's storied franchises. The Yankees, Red Sox, Mets,
Cardinals, Cubs and Dodgers have massive payrolls, yet this team has
come out of nowhere to capture the attention of the sports world. They
certainly have captured the attention of Amanda Coolbaugh, Mike's
widow. She is very deserved of the Rockies' tremendous generosity.
I have really taken a liking to this Rockies team, but if they face
my beloved Cleveland Indians in the World Series ... ooh, a tough
decision! Who do I root for?!!!

What happened in June doesn't matter.
For the 12-2 game Schilling decided not to show up by allowing 5 runs in 5 innings, the bullpen blew-up behind him, and we had two errors. We had 8 hits in the game, stranding 14 runners. Obviously a bad day.
For the 7-1 game Beckett dropped the ball early and we left an astounding 28 runners stranded. 28 runners stranded? Yeah Francis pitched a great game there by allowing so many to reach base...

Go sox!
I hope to god you're kidding when you say that Boston had "Not great hitting against shitty pitching," because C.C. Sabathia was tied with Fausto Carmona for second in the entire AL with 19 wins each, with respective 3.21 and 3.06 ERAs. Boston put up 30 runs on two of the best pitchers in the game...and jake westbrook. I don't know how the fuck you can come off believing what you said was trueÂ
