An easy toss on a sure out that skittered away. A routine popup that somehow dropped between Gold Glovers. And something even more startling -- umpires reversing a key call. Almost everything fell into place for the Boston Red Sox in the World Series opener. Mike Napoli hit a three-run double right after a game-changing decision in the first inning, Jon Lester made the early lead stand up and the Red Sox romped past the sloppy St. Louis Cardinals 8-1 on Wednesday night for their ninth straight win in a World Series game.
