Well, St. Louis fans went home somewhat disappointed after losing game 4 to the Red Sox of Boston. It ended in an ignominious fashion: a pick off play that got the runner on first base for the 3rd out and game over with Carlos Beltran at the plate. This game ending event was a first for the fall Classic. Cedric Wong, a pinch runner for Craig who had just singled, got caught by closer Kojii Uehara of Boston. Announcers questioned why manager Farrell had 1st baseman Napoli holding him on. He must have had an inkling to the possibility of catching the runner leaning the wrong way.
Game over, Series tied 2-2. Tomorrow, Game 5, then back to Boston for at least Game 6.
The Mayor is an out of the closet Red Sox fan due to the fact that his great Grandma was one of the original Red Sox fans. She was born in Boston in 1853 when baseball was in its early configurations. When she made her final move to the West Coast(LA), she brought her Red Sox sentiments with her. Even though it would be a few more years(1957) before the major league teams would arrive in California, she always preferred the Boston team. She told me her favorite players were Ted Williams and Babe Ruth(when he was a Red Sox player).
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
