It was a great throw, Dr.JE. There was this convergence of 2nd, 1st and baserunner between 1st and 2nd, Puj was in front, and did one of those "run, dive, catch, falling, twist, look at home, throw... out." The throw was spot-on. He's done a great job fielding, it's just a shame they haven't been hitting as well.

Compare and contrast Boston and St. Louis. Boston gets Tyler & Taylor, St. Louis comes up with two Christian rockers so far. I wonder who Boston would have picked to sing if it went to 7 games? Yes, that was the past tense I just used. And lil_brown, reports of riots were highly exaggerated, but it sure makes for great TV when your sitting a hundred miles away from the action. Menino should have suggested an alcohol ban for the cops instead of the fans. On preview: completely agree with the "best in baseball" comment. If Boston were in a different league or division, they'd have made the playoffs dozens more times. The World Series ended 3 games ago. This is just batting/pitching practice for the scouts to better evaluate how much the Boston free agents are gonna be worth.

After hearing about how the Card's fans were "the greatest in baseball" (an insult to anyone from Boston or New York) the only thing I regret is that the series didn't start in St. Louis so the Sox could win it in their own city, with people who actually know how to enjoy a ballgame. Meanwhile, it's the 5th and Lowe has pitched under 40 throws. Incredible. FOX et. al. wanted this to be close, wanted to peg the matchup as fair and balanced, but the fact is, the World Series was over when the Sox won the pennant against the Yankees. I'm praying for a sweep if for no other reason then to end this televised pain and suffering.

World Series Game 4
The win against the Yankees was historic, amazing, wonderful. This win was a rout. St. Louis didn't deserve to have history made in their stadium.
