The Boston Red Sox wasted no time in getting to NLCS M.V.P. and Redbirds RHP Michael Wacha. He was in and out of a Jam in Inning 1 and then in Inning 3 the flood gets opened. Behind a Shane Victorino (4 RBI in Game 6)bases loaded clearing double in the 3rd and a three-run 4th Inning the Carmines put Wacha and the Redbirds away as they get their 3rd Chip since the 2004 Season.
The Carmines get a solid performance from RHP John Lackey as he goes 6 and 2/3 Innings and allows one run on nine hits as strikes out five and issues just one free pass. The story of the Game and the Series was how the Carmines pitching and timely hitting was just a notch above the Redbirds all series long. Carmines Ace Jon Lester out dueled Redbirds Ace Adam Wainright twice in the series and sometimes you just have to tip your 59/50.
Red Sox 1B/DH David "Big Papi" Ortiz most likely will be named the World Series M.V.P. as he hit .688 with 2 Home Runs and Six RBI. A sizzling 11 hits in just 15 A.B.'s with 7 runs scored was off the charts as he single-handily took apart Redbirds Pitching all series long.
Now the Carmines celebrate as they have now won the Series in 2004, 2007, and now 2013 as so much for that Sox Curse. Hats off to Red Sox Nation and enjoy as well as Redbirds Nation as they are primed to get back to the "Fight of the Commish" 2k14 looking ahead.
That concludes Bluedude Sportstalk's Hardball Coverage for 2k13 and now look for the annual Winter Meetings and Hot-Stove News coming up in December 2k13.
