HUBS PUBS SPORTS TRIVIA---A TOUGH LOSS FOR JOHN LACKEY AND THE RED SOX BY A SCORE OF 4 TO 2 ON THURSDAY NITE AT FENWAY. THE YOUTH AND TALET OF THE CARDS PITCHING STAFF IS COMMENDABLE. WACHA WAS AS GOOD AS ADVERTISED. EXCEPT FOR A HANGING CHANEUP TO BIG PAPI FOR A 2 RUN HOMER OVER THE GREEN MONSTER, HE PITCHED WELL. THE CARDS YOUNG BULLPEN PITCHERS WERE VIRTUALLY UNTOUCHABLE. FOR THE CLOSER ROSENTHAL TO STRIKE ALL THREE HITTERS IN THE 9TH INNING ON FASTBALLS WAS IMPRESSIVE. MARTINEZ WAS EQUALLY IMPRESSIVE. THE SOX FELL ASLEEP ON A DOUBLE STEAL IN THE 7TH INNING. THE CARDS HAD THE LEAST NUMBER OF STEALS IN THE NL THIS SEASON. GOMES MADE A GOOD THROW BUT SALTY NEEDED TO LEAVE THE PLATE AND SQUARE UP ON THE THROW. WHY BRESLOW EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT THROWING THE BALL TO 3RD BASE WAS CAUSED BY A BRAIN CRAMP. THE WALK BY BRESLOW WAS UNCHARACTERISTIC AND THE BASE HIT BY BELTRAN PUT THE COVER ON THE PAN. LACKEY PITCHED WELL FOR 61/3 INNINGS LEAVING WITH 2 RUNNERS ON AND A 2 TO 1 LEAD. THE BULLPEN PITCHED BRESLOW PITCHED POORLY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME. THE BOTTOM LINE WAS THE RED SOX DID NOT HIT WITH RUNNERS ON BASE. KELLY VS PEAVY TONIGHT. THE WINNER OF THIS GAME WILL HAVE A SLIGHT ADVANTAGE AS HISTORICALLY THE WINNER OF GAME 3 WINS 46% OF THE TIME IN THE WORLD SERIES. IT IS TIME FOR NEVA TO PLAY. THE BOTTOM OF THE ORDER NEEDS TO START HITTING. WHETHER OR NOT BUCHHOLZ CAN PITCH IN GAME 4 IS AN ISSUE. THE SOX NEED AT LEAST ONE WIN TO RETURN THE SERIES TO BOSTON. THREE GAMES IN A ROW AT ST. LOUIS UNDER NL RULES WITH NO DH PUTS BOSTON AT A DISADVANTAGE BECAUSE EITHER ORTIZ OR NAPOLI WILL HAVE TO SIT AND PINCH HIT. I EXPECT ORTIZ TO PLAY AT LEAST 2 OUT OF THE 3 GAMES. THE RED SOX HAVE PLAYED IT TOUGH ALL YEAR. THIS WILL BE NO DIFFERENT. GO SOX. KEEP THE FAITH.
