The record set for highest number of errors in a World series game, first time a MLB team has made a comeback from 0-3 to win the series, highest scoring world series game with game one, and my favorite: apparently for game 4 there will be a red lunar eclipse and suprise! first World Series game to have a lunar eclipse, the list goes on and on. Either this series is really special or someone's jerking our chains.

I'd say that it's a pretty unique series. The fact that the Sox came back from a 3-0 deficit is historic...first time it's ever happened in MLB, and to be against the Yankees made it even more dramatic. The number of errors is significant because, well, who would guess that a team would go up 2-0 while making 8 errors in the first two games? High scoring - it's a sign of the times no doubt, but slugfests such as those are unique in series play.
As for the eclipse thing...something must be going on in the cosmos if the Sox are on the brink of clinching their first World Series title in 86 years.
Pedro pitched a hell of a game last night...and as much as I hate to say it (it makes me ill to say it, in fact), it looks like it's the Sox year.
