Jonathan Papelbon is out to win the World Series. He allowed us to get to this point by deciding during Spring Training to forget about starting and being the closer. It was all for this moment...
Pap will start with Yorvit Torrealba. There's a whole lot of hard chewing going on in both dugouts. Pap goes with a 95 mph heater for called strike one. Torrealba couldn't stop his swing; strike two. He grounds to Pedroia, Dustin's up and throws to Youk for the first out. Two to go.
Jamey Carroll's up. The same 95 mph fastball for a called strike to him. Foul to the right, strike two. Carroll drives Jacoby Ellsbury to the fence, but he hauls it in for the second out. Manny doesn't get that ball. Tito did it again. One more!
Seth Smith hits for Corpas. Foul for strike one. Low for ball one, 1-1. Pap bounces one up for ball two. Pulled foul along first for strike two, 2-2. Last strike time! Pap throws it by him for the Championship!
The Boston Red Sox are the first team to win two championships in the new millenium! Terry Francona has yet to lose a World Series game!
