Baseball Update:
Wednesday's Recap
Rockies 1, Red Sox 13
Josh Beckett struck out the first three Rockies batters he faced and Dustin Pedroia knocked in a homerun in his first career World Series at bat in the Red Sox game 1 win. Amazingly enough, the game only got better for the Sox including a seven run fifth inning that saw three runs scored off of walks. Looks like that nine game lay off was a momentum breaker for the Rockies after just their second loss in a month.
WP: Josh Beckett (1-0) LP: Jeff Francis (0-1)

Popo in my crib News:
Seven people who arrested and charged with disorderly conduct following the Red Sox ALCS win on Sunday were ordered by a Judge to write a five page essay "explaining what they have learned from their experience of being arrested after the Red Sox won the American League Championship Series." They also had to provide proof that their parents were aware of their arrests. Watch out seven drunken college students, because the popo are on your tail!
