Boston back for another shot at the title after the curse of the Bambino was lifted in 04.

Playing the Colorado rockies wgho had won something like 21 of their last 22.

Boston go in slight favourites and in game 1 blow the Rockies away 13 - 1 to go 1 - nil up in best of 7.

If you got fox have a look, not a bad game.

Go SOX

Taco Bell offered free tacos if a player stole a base during the World Series. Well it happened in today's game and for four hours Americans could score a free taco lol.

Boston were $7.50 to win the World Series Friday last week after they were 3-1 down to the Cleveland Indians.
In 2004 they were 3-0 down in their divisional finals before winning 4-3 and then going on to win the World Series 4-0.
I'll make a note for next time the year we win the wooden spoon I'll wait till the Sox are down in the divisional finals  and out bet the kitchen sink and watch them sweep the World Series. :cheers

No I didn't try to get tickets for the World Series.

Was in Boston for game 1 but it was sold out.

Which means the only tickets you could get were from ticket brokers (aka legal scalpers ..that's how we got tickets to the Yankee game) and the starting price (I was told) was over $600 a ticket for the bleachers :gobdrop

Boston back to the AL Division playoffs v Tampa for something different.

Dodgers v Phillie in the NL

GO SOX - Well and truly buried the curse, let's hope the Tigers (AFL) can do the same soon.

Disappointed today as I was hoping for a White Sox championship.

Although a Yankee's fan I have a soft spot for the White Sox. I suupose they are my 2nd team

Will be sort of supporting the Dodgers now as their Manager Joe Torre used to be the Yankees manager until this year.

It is a the 13th straight year that a team managed by Torre has made the post season (12 for the Yankees & now 1 for LA)

Hahahahaha was it Tampa or the Marlins a few years back who beat Boston when the fan caught the ball in the stand just as the outfielder was ready to catch it and it was the turning point of the whole series as Boston went on to lose because of that play after they seemed to be in control of it. I think they were 3-1 up lost the game involving the fan catching the ball and went on to lose the other two to lose the series 4-3 and fail to make the World Series.

Tampa Bay tie up the American League championship 1-1 after winning in 11 innings 9-8. It heads to Fenway Park.... for 3 games

Hitters on top today :clapping

The bad Josh Beckett(Boston's "best" pitcher) turned up for the BoSox today  :clapping ;D

Phillies & Dodgers on tomorrow in LA, with the Dodgers down 0-2 and not looking good at all

Tampa was leading 3 - 1 going into game 5

Boston 7 - Nil down going into bottom of seventh, then decide right at the last minute as is typical Sox style to play the get out of jail free card.

Win game 5    7 - 8

series 3 - 2

What odds they close this out and sweep the WS -  :rollin
