Why wasn't Stephen Drew standing on 2B on that "base hit"
? Why, because Mr. Drew thought his ball would be caught and ran to 1B at only half speed. Come on man, this is the Big show, 100% effort 100% of the time.

Called Boston at the beginning of the playoff.....sticking with it.
With the stingy pitching the loss of Beltran will be big......

Beltran crashed into the padded wall at 1 mph. No wonder he had to leave the game.
What a finish !
I love it !
Break out the crying towels in Boston, they are going to need them.
A controversial game ending play according to Farrell.
The absolute correct call was made in my opinion.
It looks obvious to me when the third baseman's legs come up a second time.

Gutsy call. It was the correct call but a lot of umpires would have ignored it. There was no effort on Middledrooks part to stand up or get out of the way. He was attempting to impede the runner from going home. If Middlebrooks doesn't interfere I don't think it is even close at home.
I think it was the only call. Intentional or not is irrelevant. He obstructed/impeded Craig.
As far as I am concerned, some of the best baseball I have watched in a while.
I no longer care who wins... both teams are playing well -- not perfect -- and either is deserving.
I would be happy to see it go 7 games if the next 4 are like the first 3.

That was my take as well though according to the rules, even if he was lying still the call should still be made.
Too bad that incident took the spotlight away from Pedroia who made a great play to get the ball and throw it to his catcher for the out. Dustin is my kind of player. 100% effort, 100% of the time.
He is pretty special I would take him over Cano. I just love the effort and the attitude. I curse him continually when the sox play the Jays.
Game 6, Wednesday, October 30, 8:07 PM (ET)Fenway Park, Boston, Massachusetts
Game 7, Thursday, October 31, 8:07 PM (ET)
Fenway Park, Boston, Massachusetts
Since the Red Sox won game 4, they are going back to Boston for game 6, even if the Cards win game 5 in St. Louis, there will still be a game 6 (and game 7, if necessary) in Boston.
