Game Thread: World Series Game Five, Red Sox At Cardinals, October 28, 2013

[Brahmsian]

Tonight Jon Lester has a chance to put our Red Sox back in the World Series lead.

I've got a larger-than-usual vCash bet on him to do exactly that.

His opposing starter tonight, as in Game 1, will be Adam Wainwright. in his 9th career post-season start.

GO RED SOX!

[NinersFan80]

Ortiz has been a straight machine this World Series. It is crazy

 

[patsfan187]

oh look another drew strikeout

 

[Brahmsian]

Let's increase the lead, Red Sox!

I know Lester CAN shut out teams, but Idon't want him to HAVE to!

GO RED SOX!

 

[patsfan187]

especially when Farrell puts bresblow in

 

[patsfan187]

crap

 

[Brahmsian]

Lester's needed only59 pitches so far, Wainwright's needed 70.

I like that!

Lester is looking absolutely brilliant. He is a man on a mission. He looks to be as automatic as they come this entire post-season. Cutter and change up have been the difference. Wow

 

[Brahmsian]

Lester 69 pitches through 6, Wainwright 86.

Funny thing is this blogger broke down what Lester needed to do to silence the Cardinals and he's followed it to the "T".

He is carving up what is otherwise a very formidable lineup. Red Sox have that mojo. It's been awesome to watch.

 

[patsfan187]

[patsfan187]

[patsfan187]

[AndyB]

blah nevermind :P in any case i can't see the momentum being pulled from the Sox tonight. They're just relentless.

good hits by ross and ellsbury there..


nice to have a little lead

 

[patsfan187]

[patsfan187]

bad to send the ross home on a shallow single
