The odds are all kinds of against us (as are the media), but I am charmed. I was at Game 7 in 2011. The rest of my baseball life cannot get any better than that anyway so what the hell.
I will say this; Boston has the single worst population of fans in all of sports. Do you people even posses the capability of seeing yourself from the outside looking in?
Don't bother answering, the answer is no. But really, I don't ever want to ever hear about a 'poor' Boston team....never ever forever.

I am tired of hearing that bullshit as well. The Red Sox have one abysmal year and all the talk is "these fans have been through some hard times". Fuck you. Plenty of fans of other teams would love to have won two World Series in the past 10 years.

How can you hate this year's Sox team? They're pretty likable.
Anyways, Cards gifted that game with all the fuck ups they did on the field. I'm also glad they overruled that 2nd base umpire early in the game...I don't care what team you support, that was a dogshit call and even the other umpires knew it when they came in to discuss.

That umpire should be banned from MLB. He was in a perfect position to see it, with no obstructions, and still fucked it up.

So it looks an awful lot like Lester was using 'something' on the ball last night that was in his glove.
Here is a Vine video that (to me) clearly shows him putting his fingers in said substance before a pitch:Dennis Paruch's post on Vine
I will say, whatever it is, I don't think it is Vaseline (the obvious answer). Wouldn't make sense in cold weather.

that one was hilarious grimm..i've seen that tons of time though never in the world series.
glad the call @2nd got fixed- but remember most of the time the ump isn't looking at the glove- he is looking/focused on the FEET of the players he is Listening for the ball to hit the glove. ball hit the glove-foot on bag- check then the SS "botched on the switch after foot off bag"= out at 2nd. not realizing ball was hitting the Tip of the glove and never actually got caught by the SS. i cannot see any reason why pedroia wouldn't have been safe-even without replay. with replay, it is obvious -especially that angle above
as to the lester thing- ump never saw anything on the balls and he checks the balls every time he switches them, WE never see any substance on the balls, we never see substance on the glove- that yellow highlight is a post effect added to the image. i cannot see anything on the glove- i do see a white dot but what said white dot is. no idea especially since he has white seams on his glove from the videos from MLB...it could be as simple as a quirk that lester does every pitch-i've honestly never checked-noone ever complained about anything all game though.

The runner wasn't close to the bag.. so, using that as an excuse is pretty lame. The original angle on TV was almost directly behind the umpire. I was watching the game with 10 people and all 10 of us saw in real time that he never caught the ball. Trained professionals shouldn't get such obvious things wrong.
I think you're reaching on the Lester thing. Looks like he is just looking at his fingers to me.
As i heard on the radio.
everyone uses something. they don't complain -unless it is blatent- because if they complain, then they will have to make sure they are 100% clean as well

I don't know if it's a banned substance, but there are clips that show him bringing his fingers to that location several times and him adjusting his cap without those two fingers touching it.
Pitchers can use rosin bags to dry their hands and some of it gets on the ball. He's claiming it's rosin but I don't know why he would be allowed to have some type of gunk in his glove.
