It’s opening night of the 114th World Series between the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers. Two teams with the top payrolls in baseball representing two of the top nine media markets in the country. Two teams with long, storied histories. West Coast cool versus East Coast angst. One would think that the Dodgers would have a better history in the World series but even though both teams have participated in 12 World Series each, the Dodgers are 6-6 versus the Red Sox overall 8-4 World Series record. Dodgers haven’t won a World Series since 1988, Red Sox 2013. The teams have met once in the Worlds Series -- 102 years ago as Babe Ruth's Boston Red Sox took down the then Brooklyn Robins (and their offensive star Casey Stengel) 4 games to 1.
Clayton Kershaw v. Chris Sale so it should be quite the pitcher’s duel. First pitch scheduled for 7:09p from Fenway on Fox TV.
Watching a third strike go by is not a good way to start your World Series.
Not a great start for Kershaw.
Kemp!!!!
The Red Sox are good.
Tie game!
Wow, tied game!
Not tied!
Man, it sure would be a shame if Smoltz didn't get to elaborate on how you have to be tough to play baseball in Boston.
He also mentioned that it's tough to play baseball in Boston, so he's mixing it up at least.
Good comeback inning for Kershaw.
I guess technically Kershaw is working on two-days rest but I'm not sure the 15 pitch inning counted as work instead of a bullpen session.
Tied again!
Neither starter gets an out in the fifth.
Very barely not tied again!
I think I am not going to make it to the end of the game
Núñez might have made you feel less guilty about it.
yep
ED!
Much less tied!
