10/30/2013 St Louis Cardinals 1, Boston Red Sox 6

Fenway Park, Boston, MA
World Series Game 6

The WEIRD SERIES...ends with Game 6.

This is Boston celebrating. They would have liked to celebrate at home, and they did.

Mike Napoli gets a Golden Sombrero...but Boston still wins. Mike Matheny calls for 3 intentional walks, 2 of those 3 baserunners ended up scoring. Think about that what you will. Or not.

Scorekeeper's Note: The weirdest play happens in the bottom of the 5th inning, Boston already up 6-0, Jacoby Ellsbury on 1B after reaching on an error (Matt Carpenter's 2nd errah of the Series). During Dustin Pedroia's AB, Ellsbury heads for second...and returns safely on a 1-3-4-3-6-3 PO attempt. According to the Rules - this is not a Stolen Base Attempt...it would have been considered an attempt only if Ellsbury was either safe at 2B (successful), or caught at either 1B or 2B as a result of the Pick-off (unsuccessful). You can't give credit for something that didn't result in either outcome, regardless of the intention at the time.

Boston wins the Series 4-2. Cue "Dirty Water."

World Series Game 5

Yeah, Adam Wainwright was great, but Jon Lester was better. But this isn't weird.

David Ortiz really isn't weird either, but his triple slash of .727 / .750 / 1.364 through the first 4 games of the Weird Series is, just a little bit. Ortiz ties Billy Hatcher's 1990 record for reaching base safely in consecutive World Series games with his single in the 4th inning.

However, he only ties it, as he flies out in the 6th.

Boston leads the Series 3-2.

World Series Game 4

Oh, the HUMANITY...

With Kolten Wong brought in as a pinch runner for Allen Craig, the game ends as Wong is picked off at first base.

"Should of left Craig in, Napoli would of tripped on his legs."

The Series is tied 2-2

Fenway Park, Boston, MA
World Series Game 2

The 2013 WEIRD SERIES continues...

Boston wins the errah sweepstakes tonight, by committing 2 in the same AB (Saltalamacchia, Breslow).

Michael Wacha's Postseason scoreless innings run ends at 19 (tying Bob Gibson), but he still gives the Red Sox "the business" and manages to break 2 bats in the process (Jacoby Ellsbury and David Ortiz).

Boston loses their first World Series game since 1986 Game 6.

The Series is tied 1-1.

Fenway Park, Boston, MA
World Series Game 1

Welcome to the 2013 WEIRD SERIES!

Pete Kozma commits 2 errahs in 2 consecutive innings...

But, HEY...Mystery Solved!! It's not really Pete Kozma playing shortstop for the Cardinals tonight, it's actually Dweezil Zappa!!

Interesting occurrence during the 1st inning: After Dustin Pedroia reaches on a one-out single, David Ortiz grounds into a Fielder's Choice (4-6, KozmaZappa bobbles the ball), Pedroia is called 'out' at second by Dana DeMuth. With barely a rumble from Red Sox Manager John Farrell, the Umpire Crew overturns DeMuth's call and Pedroia is "SAFE" at second. Just a reminder, this doesn't happen very often.

Red Sox lead the Series 1-0
