Just arrived back home from NYC and heard the Sox and the Patriots won. Shweeeet, now I hope they can get some rest to set up their pitching order for the next series.

The one time rooting for the Yanks and it didn't happen. They were exposed for their lack of pitching in the end. Man, did A-Rod stink again in the playoffs...if the Red Sox have a chance to sign him should they???

No, A Rod would be horrible fit in Boston. I would rather keep Lowell because he fits in better with the team than I think A Rod ever could. Don't get me wrong A Rod is the best player in baseball, but having the best player never guarantees you a title - e.g. Barroid Bonds in the 90s.

I agree totally besides his salary would throw any other quality signings out of whack. Pitching and defense wins in short series and the further you go the more important it becomes.
One more thing he's too pretty to play in Boston, let him stay in NY with all the models. Let's go Sox/Pats/Bruins.....Celtics down the road

Reminds me of te shortstop situation after the World Series in 04 ... they dumped Orlando Cabrera for Rentaria ... and haven't had a decent shortstop since.
Man, I miss the OC.
The question is ... will Lowell come back, and how much woill he cost?

Not that I believe in the whole hometown discount thing, but I really believe Lowell likes playing in Boston and enjoys the camaraderie with his teammates. I can see him taking a 2 year year 10 million dollar a year contract with an option for a third. The biggest suitors for him will probably be Philly and the Yankees and I think both may offer him more.

It's a discussion for another time ... next on the agenda, solving Sabathia and Carmona, both of which owned the Sox in their one start vs them this year.

True, but Dice-K did win the duel with Sabithia 1-0 and Ortiz didn't play in that game. We need him to pitch a couple solid games and we should be ok.
Game 1: Beckett
Game 2: Schilling
Game 3: Dice K
Game 4: Wakefield
If Wake is unable to go for Game 4, Beckett would go then be ready to go again for a possible Game 7 on 3 days rest. I think this rotation makes great sense.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

I would have liked keeping Dice K at Game 2. That way he's lined up to pitch game 6 so both of his starts would be at home. I think ESPN is wrong. Game 5 is on Thursday and Game 7 is on Sunday. There is no way Beckett would be able to pitch on 2 days rest. They should keep Schilling at 3 that way he is lined up for a potential Game 7.
Then again Dice K and Wakes vs. Westbrook and Byrd should be interesting Games 3 and 4.
Actually all I know is it will soon be mid October and the Sox are still playing. Who am I to complain?

Well Beckett in 03 with the Marlins pitched a shutout in Game 5 of the NLCS against the Cubs and then pitched 4 innings of relief in Game 7 two days later. So he has pitched really well on short rest in the playoffs, but hopefully it won't come down to that.

Seriously, what the hell happened to Fausto Carmona?? The guy goes from the worst reliever in the history of relief pitching to AL Cy Young caliber starter over the course of a winter!! I have the utmost repect for C.C. but Fausto scares me more. If the Sox get the win against him they will take this series. Go Sox!!!!
I was taught a month ago to bide my time and take it slow, but then I learned just yesterday to rush and never waste a day. Now I'm convinced the whole day long that all I've learned is always wrong. Things are true that I forget, but no one taught that to me yet
Actually all I know is it will soon be mid October and the Sox are still playing. Who am I to complain?
The Yankees are out of the World Series run, the AL will more than likely win the World Series, the two best teams in baseball are in the ALCS, and both teams deserve it more than anyone else. And they're my favorite two teams in baseball...I couldn't pick a situation that I would enjoy more.

i hope they sweep everyone
that's what i hope
Game 1: Beckett
Game 2: Schilling
Game 3: Dice K
Game 4: Wakefield
If Wake is unable to go for Game 4, Beckett would go then be ready to go again for a possible Game 7 on 3 days rest. I think this rotation makes great sense.

Swept the Angels the past two times they've played.
it could happen ... 8 straight to win the world series starting Friday, just like '04 (granted, that was after giving three to the yanks) ...
