GAME 2 WIN 4-2

AIR BENI !  
POETRY IN MOTION ! 
RELENTLESS ! 
UP 2-0 IN WORLD SERIES !

A ballet dancer from the Boston Ballet wrote an article in the Globe calling Benintendi's amazing catch ' a Grande Jete' in ballet that usually takes years and years of practice....."Benintendi's a natural. With ten minutes of practice he would have perfect form." What a riot. He is high off the ground with all limbs extended.

Red Sox left fielder Andrew Benintendi leaps and makes the catch to rob the Dodgers Brian Dozier of a hit in the top of the fifth inning.
After we won Game 2 Mookie Betts proved he is not only a powerhouse player but also a Mensch. It's the talk of the town - he delivered trays and trays of food to the homeless folks camped out in front of the Boston Public Library ! He tried to be incognito.

"“They were flabbergasted,” Winter told WEEI. “You see a lot of celebrities do stuff for recognition, but the fact was he was trying to stay totally on the down-low. He wasn’t out looking for any recognition all." 

This team is historic and playing on all cylinders. We saw the best baseball all season. Look at that scoreboard, 108 wins - historic for the Sox. I did hear Xander Boegarts, the X man say they know they didn't go deep in the previous two years - they had something to prove and they are playing their hearts out. It's a beautiful thing. And yes, I have to listen to Joe Castiglione calling the game on the radio, WEEI; I cannot take Joe Buck or Fox. They even insert commercials during the game ! I have never seen that.....


GAME THREE

Ok, we are in the tenth inning of Game 3 ! Score is tied 1-1. The Dodger's pitcher, Buehler was an ace for 7 scoreless innings. Tip of the cap for excellent pitching.

Ok it's midnight - the go ahead run is on 3rd, Ian Kinsler, pinch runner for J.D. Martinez on a base hit by the Brockstar, Brock Holt - now Nunez is up. Not deep enough, caught, too bad, Kinsler could not score - he ran home, tagged out....

Tired now - more tomorrow.....it's a nailbite. Good night at 12:30 am.
