Rookiepalooza kept a'rollin in Game Three- with Jacoby Ellsbury's monster four-hit night, Dustin Pedroia's bat continuing to stay hot, Daisuke Matsuzaka picking up the W... and batting in two runs. Our pitcher got 2 RBI. At that point, if I hadn't already been drunk on the beer and bourbon, I would have been delirious from being so giddy. PItchers! Knocking in runs! Rookies! Wreaking all kinds of havoc! Baserunners! Wearing jackets out on the diamond! The world went all topsy-turvy... in a glorious way.

Also: the Rockies fan sitting right next to me, with his cute wife and even cuter little toddler son, told me during pregame that all he wanted was to get a picture with his son at the World Series (awww!), and catch a foul ball for his son. And I'll be good goddamned if he did - he caught a foul ball, one of those special gold-embossed World Series baseballs. I've never caught a foul ball, or been sitting next to someone who did-- much less someone who called it in advance. But it was pretty cool to see him hand the ball to his son, who looked up at him like a hero.

We had great Rockies fans sitting all around us for Game Three- so hats off to you, Colorado, for not being Cleveland-esque. And for serving hard liquor.

BONUS DICE VIDEO! Even though this was from Game 4- it's just too precious not to post.
