And Away We Go

So, barring any annoying weather-related delays, Game 1 of the World Series kicks off tonight at Fenway.  There are a lot of predictions floating around for the Series, and of course I find the most compelling arguments ones that end with “and that’s why the Red Sox will win the World Series.”  It will certainly be an exciting one, and I can’t wait to see what Beckett does tonight. 

I am kind of sad about Wakefield being off the Sox World Series roster — but, as Francona said, it is better to not play him when he doesn’t feel good, rather than risk a long-term injury that would affect him for next year.   I hope Wakefield realizes that he is part of the reason the Sox are in the World Series. 

Great article on Francona — can’t state my love enough for Tito.

Read Bill Simmons’ article on J.D. Drew’s $14 Million Grand Slam. 

Coming soon:  complete video of both of Papelbon’s dance parties.  Priceless stuff.  

Please, please, please, please, please let the Sox win tonight.

    Couldn’t agree more with your opinion of Francona. An extraordinary guy. Solid, steady, rational, knowledgable … and, clearly, a very good human being.
