Short of the series being canceled it is the best possible outcome.

Seeing the Dodgers get outplayed is a-okay with me.

Win it for Inder!™

Seriously, tho, this is Billy Beane's playoffs-as-crapshoot in action. The Sox couldn't close things out against the Yankees in that last series, then lost two of three to the Zeroes. They were, at best, mediocre after the ASG. And then they turn into the '27 Yankees. I think they'll close out the Astros, who just don't have much left for pitching now, but I shrug my shoulder beyond that.

The Dodgers appear to have no interest in winning.

Stunning, really. The idea of a Braves-Red Sox WS—180 combined wins this season—is nuts.

They finally took it seriously I didn't think they had it in them.

Helluva swing for the tying homer, too—a ball that was well high.

Meanwhile, not the score in Boston I was expecting to wake up to. I went to bed mid-5th. Seeing they coughed up 7 in the 9th definitely makes me glad I didn't stay up. Ah well, back at it today.

Fucking Red Sox can't even win when I want them to.

I hate baseball. Any WS with the Astros sucks.

This seems to parallel the regular season: a stretch where the Sox are insanely good, just beating the hell out of other teams, then a switch is flicked and they look like the Fargo Fucksticks.

Man, take away that miracle Bellinger homer and it's a Braves sweep. 'Course, they yakked up a 3-1 lead to the Dodgers last year …
