Generic World Series Thread #2

Contributed by: Mick Doherty

Um, okay ... the Rockies' hot streak is now officially over. Red Sox win, 13-1.

So here are today's questions and comments ...

Did you watch Game 1? What'd you think?
Are the Sox really that good?
Josh Beckett -- best pitcher alive right now? (Or simply "reallyreallygood"?)
Beckett was the first pitcher to strike out three batters in the top of the first in Game 1 of the World Series since Juan Guzman in 1993. Is that a positive comparison?
When Pedroia homered to lead off the game ... was it over right then?
Predictions, forecasts, etc. for Game 2?
