Hope you folks have been enjoying the World Series. I have. Think it's been two pretty good games so far. Two great starting pitching duels.

I chuckle at how some people have said CC Sabathia didn't pitch that well in Game One. I'm sorry, but 7 innings, giving up two runs(solo home runs to Chase Utley) on 4 hits with 3 walks and 6 strikeouts is a pretty solid start. The only problem is that Sabathia was opposite one of the great World Series starting performances ever.

Cole Hamels numbers were ridiculous: Complete game six-hit shutout with zero walks and 10 strikeouts.

It was a pleasure to watch him work the plate wityh all of his pitches. And, one of the best things he did? Kept the ball down. Everything was down in the zone. Against a great hitting team.

And then in Game Tow on Thursday, we get a vintage Pedro Martinez start. Six solid innings, giving up three runs on six hits while walking two and striking out eight. Great theater. Should he have come out for the 7th? Charlie manuel's bullpen isn't that great. Why not.

Meanwhile, Pedro was outdueled by much-criticized AJ Burnett, who was superb(7IP 1R 4H 2BB 9K). And then to watch Mariano Rivera! The guy is ageless. You feel bad for Jonathan Papelbon because Rivera is what Sox fans compare Pap to. Tough.

So, I know we all expected plenty of offense through two games so far.....but this has been two extremely enjoyable games for baseball fans to watch. I hope you're enjoying this.
