Fun Trivia: 2 : 2000s WS

Special Sub-Topic: 2007 World Series: Boston Sweep


After winning three games in a row against the Cleveland Indians, the Red Sox rolled over the Rockies 13-1 in game one of the 2007 World Series. Including this game, which was the Red Sox's runs difference in their last 4 postseason games?

    37 runs. After beating the Tribe 7-1, 12-2, and 11-2 in the last three games of the ALCS, the 13-1 win in game one of the World Series gave them a pounding 43-6 run summary for a 37-run difference.

After being a substitute player all year long, I earned a spot in the starting line up of the Red Sox, and responded with a series best four doubles in the 2007 WS, plus great defense and base running. Who am I?
    Jacoby Ellsbury. Rookie Jacoby Ellsbury took Coco Crisp's place in centerfield and had an amazing series, finishing with 7 hits, 4 doubles and a .438 batting average.

I was the best hitter in the ALCS against Cleveland. Surprisingly, I wasn't in the starting lineup in game 3 and 4 of the World Series. Who am I?
    Kevin Youkilis. Youkilis hit .500 in the ALCS. He was benched on game 3 and 4 because Boston's DH David Ortiz played first base on Colorado's National League territory.

My .400 batting average with a home run and 4 RBIs, earned me MVP honors in the 2007 World Series. Who am I?
    Mike Lowell. Lowell drove in the winning run in game 2 with an RBI double in the 7th. He also homered on game 4.

I validated my captain position, this time also with my bat. I was the 2007 World Series RBI leader with 5. Who am I?
    Jason Varitek. Varitek hit .333, and had at least one RBI in every game of the series.

This time we didn't win because of my big hits, because I finished the series 4-16 with a double and only 2 RBIs. I had been a World Series MVP already, but not this time. Who am I?
    Manny Ramirez & Ramirez. Manny finished the series with a .250 batting average, but played good defense. His double and RBIs came in game one off Jeff Francis in Boston's 13-1 win.

If somebody knows how to seize opportunities, that's me. I homered in my only at-bat in the series for the game-winning run. Who am I?
    Bobby Kielty. Kielty was the 31st player to hit a pinch-hit home run in a World Sries with his blast in game 4.

I allowed 2 hits and no runs in 4-1/3 innings in the series, recording 3 saves. My teammates call me Pap's. Who am I?
    Jonathan Papelbon. Papelbon pitched more than one inning in his 3 appearances on the series, despite he never had more than a one inning save throughout the regular season.

The Colorado Rockies outscored the Arizona Diamondbacks 18-8 in the 2007 NLCS. How were they outscored by the Red Sox on the World Series?
    29-10. The Rockies hit just .218 in the series, against .333 of the Red Sox.

All of the following were on the 2004 Red Sox team that defeated the Cardinals in the World Series, except for one. Who was the intruder?
    Julian Tavarez. Tavarez was present on that series, but on the Cardinal's team. Other players present on the 2004 Red Sox championship team were Jason Varitek, Manny Ramirez, and David Ortiz.
