It's a blue, blue morning in the Land of Purple.  For the third straight game the Red Sox socked it to the Rockies, showing only a glint of mercy in the 7th.  The Rox made an incredible rally then with a three-run center field homer by Holliday, but simply could not generate further heat once Boston quickly shuffled Timlin off the mound.  Boston's biggest strength appears to be a combo order of astutely wicked fastball pitchers with a firm handle on when to use the fancy throws and equally adept hitters with a real knack for grounders.  How about that gyro by Okajima?  Stunning. 

It's not that the Rockies aren't good, because they boast some promising pitchers and powerful hitters, it's that Boston has developed a real pressure-cooker that our guys just can't yet seem to vent in this series.  Most the hits they got off were either fouls or airplanes complete with lights easily landing in Sox gloves in the outfield. Heartbreaking is the only word to describe it.  To win the series the Rox now must win the next 4 games.  Is that possible?  With what I've seen so far, no.  So, let's cling to the knowledge that MIRACLES HAPPEN!

Goooooooooo Rockies! Make me a miracle!
