This has to be one of the worst managerial moves in the history of baseball. Why energize the crowd when you are up by 7 and don't need Pedro. Save him for the WS.

The only thing I could think of is that Francona was trying to give Pedro a confidence boost. If he goes in and has a great inning, then he is the man again. But that didn't happen, so now how does he feel? Like they won despite him?

His reincarnation was sitting on the NY bench due to a "tumor/intestinal parasite" most likely caused by steriod abuse.
That is where the blame has to fall for NY's loss. Both the steriod abuse of the player and the failure of the front office to check him out before inking him to a huge contract were serious mistakes.

Their other steroid user going belly up the last four games had much more to do with it.😉

I guess we will know when the Red Sox are up a run in the bottom of the 9th.😃

The Curse is supposedly that the BoSox will never win a World Series- not beat the Yankees. The Sox have beaten the Yankees a few times since 1918 but haven't won a Series. Iow, the Curse is still alive today, and will be until they win the Big One.

OK guys and gals. This pains me to no end to say this but the better team won the AL title. After the Yankees were up 3-0, I told my son (who btw is a Yankee hater) that if the Yankees can't beat Boston once in the remaining 4 games, they don't deserve to be in the WS. Guess I was right.

Come on St. Louis!

Somebody on Fox wondered out loud if Pedro asked to get into the game, as a chance to redeem himself. That makes some sense, but a good manager would've said "No, we'll need you Saturday".

Great night. Great week.

Never been done. Feel's great.

Four more to go.

Don't get me wrong, I like football. I love my Superbowl-Champion, NFL-consecutive-game-winning-streak-holding, Patriots (gearing up for a battle of undefeateds against the Jets this week). But there is nothing like a great post-season pitching matchup.

In 4th place, and only 10 points behind the leader, I'm thinking about taking the Jets in my fb pool, when no-one else will, to earn a bunch of free points.

White Zin? Slightly chilled and served in a flute? And maybe a little tofu with it? And some of those nice bean sprouts?

You kidding?

You honestly think that the Sox can win a World Series?

In your lifetime?

I thought your wife had talked you into cutting back a little on the HappyHerb useage. Apparently not.

Sigh...me too. Congrats to all you Sox fans out there.

Anywho, life goes on, and as JR already said so does the curse.

The only problem is now the little guy has got bragging rights until next October. Please Lord, don't let 'em win a World Series now too. I know that You got a sense of humor, but that would be taking it just a little bit too far.
