The Brendan Behan Pub isn't the greatest place in Boston to catch a ballgame. The Jamaica Plain watering hole is little more than a single room with booths crammed to one side, the bar taking up the other. Patrons jostle each other to get a view of the single projection screen on the far wall. And tonight, during Game Four of the World Series, the women's restroom was out of order.

Well, the Red Sox proved that they can win even when Colorado finds its offense. So it's 3-0, and teams coming back from 3-0 is a once-in-a-lifetime deal. (We're engaging in a little post-2004 thinking, but don't think we're not engaging in all the superstitions, wearing the same cap, drinking the same coffee, wearing the same underwear, etc., in the meantime). The Sox came out blazing, slapping Rockies starter Josh Fogg around for six in...

Well...that was a little scarier than it had to be, wasn't it? While Curt Schilling was completely dominating and mastering the Angels lineup, the Red Sox lineup took their sweet time getting around to dominating the game. So for a game that ended 9-1, there was an awful lot of fingernail chewing and knuckle whitening. The Sox did take the lead, insurmountable as it turned out, in the fourth, when Papi and Manny went deep...

The Red Sox have been living large off of the Foes' inferior bullpens all season. Sadly, what goes around came around last night. The unstoppable Okajima and unbeatable Papelbon were respectively stopped and beaten by the Yankees, who took 2 out of 3 from the Sox for the second straight series. This one was a typical Sox-Yankees seesaw affair. Josh Beckett pitched well, but spotted the Yanks a 4-0 lead. But the Sox got it...

Home for a very brief, and wet, four-game homestand, the Red Sox toed up with the Oakland Athletics before heading off on the last road trip of the season. The Sox dropped two of the games, both of which were painful. Game One showcased another unknown pitcher Boston had never seen before, Joe Blanton, and kept the Boston bats relatively silent and baffled. This continued the trend of seeing the Boston offense fall flat on its face whenever a new arm appears on the bump. Speaking of trends, Bostonist was hoping Curt Schilling's performance had turned the corner after the stellar job in NY a little over a week ago, thereby bucking his losing trend. Sorry, no such luck. Schilling gave up six runs on his way to loss number 8.
