Colroado can't knock those (Red) Sox off

In game 2 of the World Series, Boston may have been down but they didn't bow out either as the Red Sox bullpen kept Colorado in check on their way to a 2-1 victory.

Sure, game 2 didn't have all the offensive fireworks which the BoSox displayed in spades but then again with strong pitching & a bullpen that was up to the task, how can you go wrong?

Well, from the looks of things, Boston appears to be on its way to a sweep if they keep up their stellar play on both sides of the ball: strong hitting, stubborn pitching & clutch defensive plays to keep the Rockies in check. I've heard everyone go on & on about the Red Sox getting a sweep, but let's wait & see how they fare @ Coors Field first before we start doing any major celebrating.

As anyone knows by now, when you're down 2-0 in the World Series or NBA Finals, Game 3 is a do-or-die game; not only will it give Colorado the psychological edge (as well as much-needed confidence); it could give them incentive to prove that they're invincible in Mile High mode as well. And that's saying something: they're back at home with nothing to lose & a definite advantage in their favor (home field!!) But Boston has other plans as well & knows that this game is a big deal on their part as they attempt to go up 3-0...one game short of sealing the deal on the whole World Series!!

Anything can happen come Saturday night & both ballclubs know what's at stake. May the best team win!!
