So the series is going to Denver this weekend where the Rockies will try to get back on track after losing the first two games at Fenway. I guess the first two really show what Boston is about this season. They completely crushed the Rockies in Game 1, when Josh Beckett held them to just one run while the offense exploded for 13 runs, three of those coming in the first inning and another 7 in the 5th. Game 2 was the complete opposite. This time it was the Boston pitching staff winning the match with reliever Okajima Hideki getting most of the attention as the first pitcher to come onto the field in an American World Series Game. In this game Curt Shilling held Colorado to just one run and Okajima and Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon finished things off for a 2-0 lead for Boston.Now the most frustrating for someone living in Europe is that all games of the World Series start in the middle of the night. First pitch times are always 8 pm Eastern which translates into 2 am CET. But the first actual pitch isn't thrown until 2.40 am which is kind of annoying. There's loads of advertisment and commercials all the time, but the game starts almost 40 minutes later than expected. This makes it hard to stay awake. I was able to at least catch the first inning of Game 1 and I hope to be able to watch a little more of tonights Game 3. Maybe it's adifferent story for next week since the Americans are trailing Europe when it cames to setting back the clock for winter time. Which gives Europeans one more hour back and games will start at 1 am next week.
