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 in Wednesday night's opener.
Beckett got off to the most overpowering start since SandyKoufax, Pedroia became only the second player to lead off a World Series with a home run, and then a relentless offense led by Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz racked up hit after hit.
