The Sox have faced Anibal Sanchez, Max Scherzer, and Justin "Lol Try'n Hit THIS" Verlander. They have struck out approximately fourteen million times, were no-hit into at least the first 4 innings of all three games, and the Sox's best pitcher this season was knocked around in Game 2.
And the Sox have a 2-1 series lead. John Lackey outdueled Justin Verlander. Junichi Tazawa extended both middle fingers high into the air while tongue-f***ing Miguel Cabrera's wife. Mike Napoli struck out six times and looked absolutely lost in order to lull the Tigers into a false sense of security before taking advantage of literally the only mistake Verlander has made in the entire postseason.
There is nothing this team cannot do. Except shave.
The Boston Red Sox are winning the motherf***ing World Series, and also the regular baseball World Series. They'll do it by scoring a dozen runs in a blowout or they'll do it by scraping one run and letting one of their deplorably white and pasty starting pitchers (seriously, is there an assembly line in Texas where they just churn out generic-looking white guys in Sox uniforms to pitch?) shuts down the best offense in baseball. I listened to this game on a miniature radio while I was working the grill today and I almost chucked someone's sandwich across the store when Napoli homered and again when Tazawa struck out Cabrera. I can't remember the last time I was so stoked about this goddamn team.
In conclusion, f*** yeah, Red Sox.
