Beatdown in Beantown

Kevin Youkilis of the Red Sox beats the tag from Rockies catcher Yorvit Torrealba to score a run in Game 1.
BOSTON -- Josh Beckett, Dustin Pedroia and the Boston Red Sox were revved up and ready. Not so the Colorado Rockies, who showed up in Beantown looking rusty, not rested.
Back in the World Series with no Bambino's curse to worry about, the Red Sox flattened the Rockies 13-1 last night in the World Series opener.
Beckett got off to the most overpowering start since Sandy Koufax, Pedroia became only the second player to lead off the Series with a home run, and then a relentless offense led by Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz racked up hit after hit.

Dr. Kristine Guleserian will attend the World Series with patient Andrew Madden.
DALLAS -- While waiting for a heart transplant, 13-year-old Andrew Madden and his surgeon talked a lot about the World Series prospects for their favorite team, the Boston Red Sox.
They even talked about somehow making a trip to see a game. Now, about three weeks after successful surgery for a new heart, Andrew is set to go with Dr. Kristine Guleserian and his mother to Fenway Park for Game 2 tonight against the Colorado Rockies.
It started with the Red Sox hat Guleserian gave Andrew for luck as they waited for a donor. Less than a day later, a heart for Andrew had been found.

Clint Hurdle and and Rockies are more clever than you may think. Hopefully last night's blowout will successfully lull the Sox into complacency.

Don't think it matters who the donor rooted for. As long as the kid got a heart. It's a great story.
