If Wakefield gets beat, Francona should have started Beckett. If Beckett gets beat, he should have started Wakefield. If Beckett starts and wins, he burned up Beckett's arm.
The only winning combo for Terry Francona would have been Wakefield with a win—but he only looked good for the first four innings.
It's not Francona's fault that the team's $103 million investment is a bust, and that alleged Hall of Famer Curt Schilling has gotten bombed.
Josh Beckett CANNOT PITCH EVERY GAME, and the Red Sox much-hyped rotation was just that—hype.
Can the media and fans never get their stories straight?
People amaze me, which is to say they sometimes make me sick with their blatant double standards.
The same talk show hosts, callers, writers, and emailers who whine about the top teams always being the same—the Yankees and Red Sox in baseball, USC and the Florida schools in college football—are the first ones to get all up in arms when new teams break the glass ceiling.
Oh my God, University of South Florida is No. 2 and the Colorado Rockies are in the World Series!
You'd think the world came to an end.
Let's enjoy these feel-good stories instead of stop trashing the upstarts. I for one would love to see a nontraditional powerhouse win the NCAA title—it would make for great debate.
That's all for now, time to take my medication.
