On The Brink.
I’ll let you analyze this data any way you see fit, but never in the 104 year history of the World Series has a team lost a 3-0 game lead.
The one downside to Boston’s current situation: the bullpen is rather drained, and we have a pitcher who isn’t known for going deep into games tonight. This, factored in with the “cornered animal” effect, leads me to believe Game 4 is in Colorado’s favor. Luckily, the Sox now have a whole lot of leeway to work with.
Tonight, at 8 PM (sigh…), it’s Jon Lester (4-0, 104 ERA+) against Aaron Cook (8-7, 116 ERA+).
