Even though the Rockies won, like, 200 straight games to get in the playoffs, then swept through their first two playoff series with seven straight wins, the World Series is basically over. Only a bunch of times in history has a team rebounded from a 2-0 deficit, which the Rockies now face after losing last night in Fenway 2-1. And certainly the Red Sox — a team with a long and storied history of playoff success — could never falter after opening up such an insurmountable lead.
Anyway, you can read all about Game 2 here. Curt Schilling got the win with 5 and 1/3 innings pitched, so you can probably expect to see the word "gritty" located somewhere near his career playoff record and ERA. Other heroes were Mike Lowell (scored first run, drove in the other) and Hideki Okajima and Jonathan Papelbon, who closed down the Rox for the rest of the game with stellar performances out of the bullpen.
Finally, the most important news you can imagine: Jacoby Ellsbury stole a base in the fourth inning, so we all get a free taco from Taco Bell. Details to follow! OMG I can't wait!!! It's almost as good as someone handing me 83 cents in loose change!


The stolen base was exciting.
The Tacos are free.
The diarrhea is priceless.
My girlfriend said this last night after the stolen base. "Well, at least i don't have to Pay to get my explosive diarrhea."
got me alumni…

Hey, wait, why haven't the Yankees won this World Series yet?
I think I remember reading the same headline in 1981. Yankees won 2 at home, lost the next 4 in a row.
You guys don't get it; he had blood on his sock in 2004.
And also all those other times the Yankees lost. Those were fun too.
Ellsbury not only a hearthrob to new england ladies, now to homeless men across the nation
Absolute zero would be getting your free taco at a Native American-run casino.
N is for Neville who died of ennui. That, or watching the World Series. Oh wait, same thing, never mind.
Thanks Rockies for making me care about baseball again, ya fucking jerks.
Can't hit a baseball? Let's see if you can hit a rock!
Ellsbury enjoys the taste of Firewater and cries when people litter. Nothing beats a good stereotype.
I love how EVERYBODY still talks about my Yankee my Wankees!!! Even when they aren't in the series, THEY ARE!!! WOO-HOOOOOOO!!!!
Are Schilling and Okajima in a Bloods street gang now, is that what that is? And if so, does Okajima call it the "Broods"?
Jeffrey Maier
just sayin
Wait, Jeffrey Maier is to Braves!
as Steve Bartman is to Yankees!
Karma is a bitch
Hey Enrico-A little piece of advice from a guy who has been around the block:Only losers make fun of Native Americans. Clean up your act, and maybe you'll do something with your life.
Thanks, Joe. Clean up your broadcasts and maybe I'll respect you a little. Now if you don't mind, I've got $19 that I want to trade for some land.
I would just like to point out that, while I'm glad the horrible Taco Bell promotion can go on and die, technically, it wasn't a stolen base, it was catcher's indifference.
