Colorado “a little rusty”
World Series - Game 1 - Boston 13, Colorado 1
Counting their comeback from a 3-1 deficit against Cleveland in the AL Championship Series, the Red Sox have outscored opponents 43-6 in their last four games. In the first five innings against Colorado, the Red Sox were 11-for-15 (.733) when batting with two outs.
The last time Boston was in a situation like this, it was against the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2004 World Series. They hadn’t been to the championship in 86 years and had just come back from an 0-3 deficit against the New York Yankees. I don’t expect the Red Sox to sweep the Rockies like they did the Cards. But there’s no curse haunting them anymore, and this powerhouse made a statement last night.
