Interesting fact I just became aware of. Dodger manager, Dave Roberts, use to play outfield for the Red Sox. Who would have ever thought that he would return to Boston as an opposing manager in the World Series.

Yessir. He stole second base in game 4 of what became the epic flop by the Yuckees in 04
And what a huge play that was. Without the steal, Boston still needs one more hit to tie it up. I say they would have been swept. And what then? Would they even have gone on to win the later titles, or would the team have been broken up? Does Theo still become Theo? And would he have then been able to go on to build the Cubs into champs as well? We'll never know.
Dave Roberts is a Boston sports god.
The stolen base is one of the biggest plays in Red Sox history. EVERYONE knew he was going to try for second, and then he went and did it.

And Francona put him in as just a PR.
That was a great series. And I’m biased

I was straightening my jam room for rehearsal tomorrow night during pregame. So I missed it too.
This kind of baseball in the first half of the first game is nuts! They are going to scrap it out until the last pitch, aren't they? Maybe I won't have a heart attack by then.
Pretty compelling game. October at its best. Go Dodgers!I was straightening my jam room for rehearsal tomorrow night during pregame. So I missed it too.

I’ve been sick as the proverbial dog since Sunday night.
Slugging it out, trudging through work Monday & yesterday...came home and Fell into the bed Tuesday afternoon and slept like a dead man until about 11:15 last night.
...got out of bed and wandered down the hall...the very First pitch I saw was the Núñez HR!

OK baseball fans, help me out. Commentator and retired pitcher John Smoltz says that MLB teams should "go back to playing the same schedule". What does that mean? Same schedule as what? Here's the article, where he has a lot more recommendations:

I imagine he means fewer in division games. Now you play a lot more games in your division, which can result in some teams playing a tougher schedule for some. Imagine playing both the Red Sox and Yankees more every year.
