The Red Sox got everything they wanted: a continuation of the momentum they built up in their win over the Indians, and a lethargic uninspired Rockies team that was not ready to play.
Francis was awful in the early innings and probably shouldn't have been allowed to go as long as he did (not that the bullpen was any help). And the lineup did nothing to slow down Becket has he k'd one after the next.
The only hope of making this an interesting series is if Helton and the team see this as their wake-up call. Otherwise, this is just the first record-breaking loss in a short Boston dominated series.
