True to form, the celebrating has already begun in Boston. But just remind yourself: One game is not four games. Thirteen runs doesn’t win you four games. A billion extra-base hits doesn’t win you four games. Only winning four games wins you four games.
And remember this, Red Sox fans: the Rockies weren’t supposed to win against Beckett. Win tomorrow and it’s still a successful first two games for les Rox. So don’t wake up in the morning and start talking about the Junior Varsity just because the Rox got their first bad pitching performance in 22 games. That’s called a double standard, that’s called hypocrisy, and that’s called setting yourselves up for major disappointment.
I just posted a Game 1 Preview podcast of sorts on YouCastr.com, which is a new youtube-like website for sports fans. The cool part about it is that they provide some amazingly simple web-based software that lets users do live audio broadcasts and then archives that content with space for comments and ratings and what-have-you, all automagically.
So the analysis is pretty simple stuff designed to introduce Sox fans (and there are a lot of them on YouCastr, just look at the comments) to the Rockies. But you might enjoy it, and, for nostalgia’s sake, I’ve brought back the Rockies Disaster Report name. If they lose, I’ll definitely blame the name and change it to something else, even though I already have the RDR logo work done and everything.

Okay, okay, okay. Crap. No, shit.Check it out. Check it the crap out: because I’m a so-phisticated man-o-learnin’ currently enrolled at a college, I have a mandatory session with one other student and my theater prof from 6:30 to 8:00 today. This means I’ll miss the first hour of game one. The only possible ameliorator is playoff baseball’s Cal Ripken-like streak of late start times. So yeah, please pray for me and a late start time.
And now the unrelated Simpsons clip you came here to see. God bless you, Nelson Muntz.
