“The one and only Mary J. Blige” is not to be confused with “the one and only Mary H. Blige,” I guess.

National anthem interrupted by airplane flyover because the airplane flyover is timed to a normal-length national anthem.

Standing ovation on a 2-out, 2-strike pitch in the first inning. Love the playoffs. #WorldSeries

My Favorite Martian. RT @Stevefredx : @GlobeKPD Who is the guy at every game with the yellow headphones behind home plate ?

by GlobeKPD via twitter 10/24/2013 12:16:27 AM
Lester in 1st: 4 BF, 0R, 1H, 1K, 12 pitches, 10 strikes, 3 1st-pitch strikes. #redsoxtalk #cardinals

by Maureen Mullen via twitter 10/24/2013 12:16:42 AM
Allen Craig clearly a bust.

Whoa! RT @bizarchive : Back in the USSR!!!!

by Eric Wilbur via twitter 10/24/2013 12:17:34 AM
In honor of the #WorldSeries , I'm hitting the reset button with Stephen Drew this round. I'm sure he'll relax at the plate now. #RedSox

by Adam Kaufman via twitter 10/24/2013 12:18:26 AM
Yaz makes ceremonial first ball toss. I heard tires screeching on Ipswich St. before Jon Lester took the hill . . .

by Dan Shaughnessy via twitter 10/24/2013 12:19:20 AM
No truth to the rumor that the #RedSox have lowered the ceiling of the dugout in hopes of giving Adam Wainwright a concussion. #Cardinals

by Adam Kaufman via twitter 10/24/2013 12:20:03 AM
Ellsbury sees eight pitches and walks. Sox grinding has begun. Series officially over

by Dan Shaughnessy via twitter 10/24/2013 12:21:41 AM
This is the key for #RedSox , as always. Make the starters throw a ton of pitches early. This #Cardinals team has an EXCELLENT pen, though.

by Adam Kaufman via twitter 10/24/2013 12:21:56 AM
Remember as the AL's leading base-stealer (Ellsbury) takes first, Molina has thrown out 48% of attempted runners in his career. #RedSox

7 pitch AB, a walk, and a big lead. Here we go.... #WorldSeries

by Tom Caron via twitter 10/24/2013 12:23:05 AM
No runs yet, but this isn't the start Adam Wainwright was looking for. Two on, one out. Ortiz up. Dominican Mr. October. #RedSox

by Adam Kaufman via twitter 10/24/2013 12:27:37 AM
The ball that Victorino hit was struck significantly harder than the one Pedey just hit. That's the beauty of our sport.

by gabe kapler via twitter 10/24/2013 12:28:10 AM
In other news, Jarome Iginla just scored his first goal as a member of the #Bruins ...so there's that.

by Adam Kaufman via twitter 10/24/2013 12:28:49 AM
Horrible call. Pete Kozma never had the ball, but Pedroia is called out at second. #robots

by (((Jesse Spector))) via twitter 10/24/2013 12:29:51 AM
TERRIBLE CALL!!! Dustin Pedroia unquestionably safe on the dropped ball. They'd better fix this... #RedSox #Cardinals #HackCall

by Adam Kaufman via twitter 10/24/2013 12:30:07 AM
Worst call of post-season yet. THROW A FLAG (next year)

by Tom Caron via twitter 10/24/2013 12:30:08 AM
Six umps talking now

by Tom Caron via twitter 10/24/2013 12:30:43 AM
And out comes Farrell's challenge flag or bean bag. This call will be overturned. Kozma never had control. Oh wait, that's 2014 #worldseries

by Derrick Goold via twitter 10/24/2013 12:30:50 AM
Holy crap what a terrible call.

by Eric Wilbur via twitter 10/24/2013 12:31:02 AM
And they get it right. Well done.

by Tom Caron via twitter 10/24/2013 12:31:18 AM
Call reversed. Wow. Bases loaded with one out.

by (((Jesse Spector))) via twitter 10/24/2013 12:31:25 AM
Thank you, @MLB , for getting it right. Sit down, Matheny. Bases loaded for #RedSox with one out, scoreless in the first...for now.

by Adam Kaufman via twitter 10/24/2013 12:31:51 AM
Hey, wait, what about Ed Armbrister?

by GlobeKPD via twitter 10/24/2013 12:32:01 AM
Absolutely brutal call. Umpire was looking at the base. They got it right, never seen that called overturned.

by gabe kapler via twitter 10/24/2013 12:32:20 AM
Go home, Matheny.

by Eric Wilbur via twitter 10/24/2013 12:33:17 AM
I think this sport needs managers who carry beanbags.

by GlobeKPD via twitter 10/24/2013 12:33:17 AM
Lip-reading: Home plate umpire and crew chief John Hirschbeck telling an upset Mike Matheny that "Our job is to get it right."

by Christopher Gasper via twitter 10/24/2013 12:33:30 AM
Worth noting that #Cardinals were in the shift on play. Haven't done that too often with runner on 1B and chance to turn DP. #worldseries
