Seriously, MLB? You’ve got to make us wait three days until you can start the World Series? And I thought I was anxious before all this…
- It’s been an inspirational run to the Fall Classic for the Red Sox. They’ve been a complete unit the entire year, and everyone deserves a lot of credit. (Red Sox to the World Series and beyond)
- It all came down to that one play. That one massive slam by Shane Victorino that essentially slammed the door on the Tigers. Here’s what went down. (Dissecting The Moment That Launched Red Sox Into World Series)
- If you want to see more than just Victorino’s blast, here’s a recap of all the tense things that happened. Did I mention it’s in GIF form? (Red Sox clinch the American League pennant in GIFs)
- Just like the good old days, right? You just make the playoffs, come back from a 0-3 deficit against the Yanks, then play the Cardinals. It’s an all-red World Series. (1946, 1967, 2004 and 2013: The Sox and Cards do battle again)
- Amazingly, there’s only two guys left on both teams from that short series in 2004, and both Yadier Molina & David Ortiz can’t wait to get at it. (For Ortiz and Molina, it’s a rematch)
- Mike Napoli got denied a ring in 2011 by these same Cardinals. He can’t wait to return the favor in kind in 2013. (Mike Napoli’s next shot)
- He’s only 21 years old, and the kid is pulling off some amazing things at the plate in October. Look out, everyone, because here comes Xander Bogaerts. (Forget the age; Xander Bogaerts primed to play big role in World Series)
Infinite repeat.
