We have such a strong nucleus of pitching with Josh Beckett, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Jon Lester, and Clay Buchholz. We'll talk about it. We'll be reasonable. We'll see what happens.</blockquote>The nucleus is there, for sure, but Lester and Buchholz remain question marks to some degree, as does Tim Wakefield, whose contract the source said the team would pick up for another year. There has been no indication how low the base would be. <br /><br />(Also, I faintly recall reading something during the second-half of the season about the possibility that, with Dice and old-timers like Wake and Curt, the Sox would toy with a six-man rotation in 2008. Does that ring a bell with anyone?)<br /><br />What will happen, according to G38:<blockquote>For the next 15 days I can speak with other teams, and they can contact me, but no details can be discussed. They can only express interest. For the next 15 days the team that remains my first choice, the Sox, have exclusive rights. I guess I'll find out how closely teams follow rules ...</blockquote>The Dome-Bellied Big Lug is also posting in SoSH's "The Future of Curt Schilling" <a

style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a>It might be too early to annoit Terry Francona as the greatest post-season manager in baseball history -- although his tactical skills have been <a href="http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2007/10/30/never_a_false_move?mode=PF">completely beyond reproach</a> and have led me to rethink almost all of my previous complaints about him.<br /><br />However, among managers who have managed at least 20 post-season games, he has the highest winning percentage:<pre><strong> W L PCT</strong><br />Terry Francona, Bos 22 9 .710<br />Joe McCarthy, NYY 30 13 .698<br />Tom Kelly, Min 16 8 .667<br />Bob Lemon, NYY 15 9 .625<br />Sparky Anderson, Cin-Det 34 21 .618</pre>Joe Torre's post-season record with the Yankees was 76-48 (.613). He was 4-14 (.222) in his last 18 post-season games with the Chokers. Which means that after Game 3 of the 2004 ALCS, Torre's record stood at an impressive 72-34 (.679) -- still not as good as Tito's mark, though Torre obviously managed many more games.<br /><br />Francona is the 19th manager to win multiple championships and he is the first manager in history to win his first eight World Series games. <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'><span class='post-author vcard'> by <span class='fn'>allan</span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://joyofsox.blogspot.com/2007/10/francona-greatest-post-season-manager.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' title='2007-10-30T07:25:00-07:00'>7:25 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/5730822/1897838377660109826' onclick=''>9 comments</a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-action'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post/5730822/1897838377660109826' title='Email Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='13' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-47734877'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=5730822&postID=1897838377660109826&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'><span class='post-labels'> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry'> <a name='4308545044445467069'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title'> <a href='http://joyofsox.blogspot.com/2007/10/chb-dont-know-much-about-history.html'>CHB: Don't Know Much About History ...</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content'> In his October 27 column about newer Red Sox fans, the CHB <a href="http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2007/10/27/winning_isnt_the_only_thing?mode=PF">wrote</a> the following:<br /> <blockquote> The Red Sox haven't clinched a World Series at Fenway since Sept. 11, 1918 (the Series was early that year because of World War I) when Carl Mays beat the Cubs, 2-1, in Game 6. There were only 15,238 in the stands (none in Monster Seats - there was no Monster) when Les Mann hit a grounder to second baseman Dave Shean for the final out.<br /> <br /> Babe Ruth was standing in right field scanning the stands for chicks when Shean tossed to first baseman Stuffy McInnis as Joe Castiglione bellowed, "Can you believe it?"<br /> <br /> Actually, I made some of that up. Joe Castig wasn't really there, no proof on the Babe, and McInnis did not have the baseball authenticated to set up a college tuition fund for his kids. ...</blockquote> You would think that the guy who turned the idiotic Curse into a cottage industry during the 1990s -- talk about setting up college tuition for his kids (and grandkids)! -- would know that Babe Ruth was a left fielder during his Red Sox career.<br /> <br /> (While the CHB was not the first sportswriter to suggest that the ghost of Babe Ruth was haunting the Red Sox -- that happened towards the end of the 1986 World Series -- it is not altogether incorrect to say that he invented the Curse.)<br /> <br /> Ruth also played first base and some center field, in addition to pitching. Hall of Famer Harry Hooper -- the team's captain in 1918 -- was in right field.<br /> <br /> Even during his 15 seasons with the Yankees -- imagine thinking that being Babe Ruth in New York City during the Roaring '20s would be some kind of punishment that demanded some after-life spooking -- Ruth played a ton of games in left field: 857, compared to 1,127 in right.<br /> <br /> Babe Ruth never played even one inning of right field for the Boston Red Sox. Just another example of Shaughnessy's tenuous grasp of Red Sox history. <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'><span class='post-author vcard'> by <span class='fn'>allan</span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://joyofsox.blogspot.com/2007/10/chb-dont-know-much-about-history.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' title='2007-10-30T06:38:00-07:00'>6:38 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/5730822/4308545044445467069' onclick=''>4 comments</a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-action'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post/5730822/4308545044445467069' title='Email Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='13' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-47734877'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=5730822&postID=4308545044445467069&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'><span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='http://joyofsox.blogspot.com/search/label/media%20madness' rel='tag'>media madness</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry'> <a name='2549505548677950041'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title'> <a href='http://joyofsox.blogspot.com/2007/10/parade.html'>Parade</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content'> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMmmY5QqmMzH0WuVxtaMgoHRCnYjwTzT4RHXW_VoLJbDuf3PRU9eGLlCsu2KUDgM5rauXZ5pzOyDhJt8akpSZoH51qMUpGraWtZeCb2hoAUmd-3osPhyphenhyphentQxPUK7AS5XBPLaFV1rA/s1600-h/globeweb.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127098522014752930" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMmmY5QqmMzH0WuVxtaMgoHRCnYjwTzT4RHXW_VoLJbDuf3PRU9eGLlCsu2KUDgM5rauXZ5pzOyDhJt8akpSZoH51qMUpGraWtZeCb2hoAUmd-3osPhyphenhyphentQxPUK7AS5XBPLaFV1rA/s320/globeweb.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a><br />The parade begins today at <a href="http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2007/10/30/painting_the_town_red_sox?mode=PF">noon</a>.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy3bMOROkQJSkQu1kbA28UehENyWoea0QW5Ir5q13tC2ltIdYxSc55mf5Ts3Z9msluDX9_o7dq_MWAlduaLRRZ_51wAOeeiU84ov3vM1QNqiZWY-kEtJtphbATkLehCIdG7GnKGA/s1600-h/paraderoute.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127103375327797442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy3bMOROkQJSkQu1kbA28UehENyWoea0QW5Ir5q13tC2ltIdYxSc55mf5Ts3Z9msluDX9_o7dq_MWAlduaLRRZ_51wAOeeiU84ov3vM1QNqiZWY-kEtJtphbATkLehCIdG7GnKGA/s320/paraderoute.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSQgK1OTi9iMsxq6ZkcrIctrbkO1jgCnMxAf1pg3VUmLd5-8nl0SuDfMJ5P3HqchAXrm8bXJ1kJ92hS2e2x4ixp2PYAARGGFxU8thScFsOuqOFcyBd4C1MgSLuTk82X6GeJyLIbg/s1600-h/BHf.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127098577849327794" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSQgK1OTi9iMsxq6ZkcrIctrbkO1jgCnMxAf1pg3VUmLd5-8nl0SuDfMJ5P3HqchAXrm8bXJ1kJ92hS2e2x4ixp2PYAARGGFxU8thScFsOuqOFcyBd4C1MgSLuTk82X6GeJyLIbg/s320/BHf.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" /></a><br />Globe:<blockquote>Jonathan Papelbon is expected to reprise his Irish stepdance to the music of the Dropkick Murphys, who will join him on a flatbed truck in the procession.<br /><br />"He promised the people he would do the dance, and he will do the dance," Mayor Thomas M.

Post in comments what papers, if any, you would be able to get for others and what papers you would like to have, along with an email address, and maybe we can do something similar in 2007 at JoS. <br /><br />At this late date, this would likely be limited to the paper that reports the WS win (Monday if a sweep, Tuesday if in 5 games).

Terry Francona acknowledged that was a possible scenario: "His bat is so important [and] there will be rest time pretty soon. But if we need to [rest him], we will."<br /><br />Kevin Youkilis would be the odd man out in that case as Yerry said moving Yook across the diamond to third would be "playing two guys out-of-play position, which isn't real good." Youkilis would likely come into the games in the later innings (PH/double switch) and replace Flo at first.<br /><br />The last time the Red Sox won six straight World Series games? 1915 (Games 2-3-4-5) and 1916 (Games 1-2). All six of those games were decided by one run.<br /><br />Dustin Pedroia became the third Red Sock to lead off a World Series game with a home run, joining Johnny Damon (2004 Game 4) and Patsy Dougherty (1903 Game 2). Only Damon was the actual first batter in the top of the first, however. The other two were batting at home.<br /><br />Hideki Okajima became the <a href="http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2007/10/26/okajima_was_much_better_than_ok?mode=PF">first</a> Japanese pitcher to appear in a World Series. ... <a href="http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/baseball/red_sox/view.bg?articleid=1040565&format=text">Misters October</a>. ... Teams have taken a 2-to-0 lead in the World Series 34 times -- and won the series 27 of those times, including the last 10 in a row.<br /><br />Francona, on his early <a href="http://www.projo.com/redsox/content/20071025_projo_schilling.1a8c1c6e3.html">hook</a> of Curt Schilling: The bottom of the fifth<blockquote>was a long inning. Because of the length of time in between innings and then with the pitching chances [by the Rockies], he was down in the tunnel, trying to stay loose. I've been around him so long, I know his body language so well. He was fighting it that last inning and what we didn't want to do is have somebody give up a run because they were getting stiff or they can't execute a pitch when they need to. So it was time to get him out of there.</blockquote><a href="http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/baseball/red_sox/view.bg?articleid=1040548&format=text">Schilling</a>:<blockquote>This was just the Papa-Jima Show tonight. That was just phenomenal to watch - Okajima was just absolutely perfect every single pitch.</blockquote>Tony Massarotti, <a href="http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/baseball/red_sox/view.bg?articleid=1040566&format=text">Herald</a>:<blockquote>So this is what the Red Sox had in mind when they were being swept in Toronto during the middle of last month, when they ... temporarily pulled the plug on Hideki Okajima. ...<br /><br />The recharged Okajima faced seven batters and retired them all - four on strikeouts ... Okajima has pitched 11.2 scoreless innings since the Sox invoked Operation Shutdown in the middle of September, and in the postseason, he effectively has spun his own shutout (9.2 innings).</blockquote>Josh Beckett is now the <a href="http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/baseball/red_sox/view.bg?articleid=1040535">all-time</a> postseason leader in opponents batting average (minimum 40 innings): .159. That tops the list ahead of George Earnshaw (.174), Mariano Rivera (.176) and Sandy Koufax (.180). Beckett's .209 opponents OBP is also the lowest all-time, better than Rivera's .211 and Koufax's .223.<br /><br />Theo Epstein <a href="http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/baseball/red_sox/view.bg?articleid=1040525">called</a> resigning Mike Lowell "a priority for the offseason, and I'm sure we'll be able to get something done. We have a desire to keep him here a long time. He's a core member of the organization. It's just not the time to talk about that."<br /><br /><a href="http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2007/10/26/holliday_strategy_in_8th_was_way_off_base?mode=PF">Matt Holliday</a>, on the pickoff:<blockquote>I was going on the pitch, yeah.

Drew's single to right (he reached base four times in four trips) and tagged and scored on Jason Varitek's fly to center. The Red Sox took a 2-1 lead with two outs in the fifth: David Ortiz walked, Manny Ramirez singled to left and Lowell doubled into the left field corner.<br /><br />Holding that 2-1 lead in the top of the sixth, Schilling had trouble getting loose and surrendered a single and a walk with one out. Terry Francona did not mess around -- now in full playoff mode, Tito pulled the trigger earlier than he normally would during the season. G38 was at only 82 pitches, but it was time to summon the members of the Black Pearl.<br /><br />Hideki Okajima got Garrett Atkins on a grounder to Kevin Youkilis and the runners moved up to second and third. But Brad Hawpe was overmatched -- swinging at strike one, looking at strike two and swinging at strike three. Crisis averted.<br /><br />Jeemer needed only 11 pitches in the seventh: Troy Tulowitzki popped to right, Yorvit Torrealba grounded to short and Ryan Spilborghs struck out looking. In the eighth, Okajima struck out Taveras looking and Kaz Matsui swinging. With four outs remaining, Francona went to Jonathan Papelbon.<br /><br />On an 0-2 pitch, Holliday smashed a line drive past Bot that Dustin Pedroia dove and gloved behind second, but he had no play. No matter. Bot immediately picked Holliday off first, catching him napping by some two or three feet to end the inning. In the ninth, Snuffer struck out Helton, got Atkins to line out to Jacoby Ellsbury in center and he fanned Hawpe.<br /><br />And so the Red Sox are two wins away from another World Series championship. It feels inevitable -- and easy -- and fun. <br /><br />***<br /><br />Lineups:<pre><strong>Rockies Red Sox</strong><br />Willy Taveras, CF Dustin Pedroia, 2B<br />Kaz Matsui, 2B Kevin Youkilis, 1B<br />Matt Holliday, LF David Ortiz, DH<br />Todd Helton, 1B Manny Ramirez, LF<br />Garrett Atkins, 3B Mike Lowell, 3B<br />Brad Hawpe, RF J.D.

Ellsbury is this team's center fielder right now".<br /><br />Over their last four games -- three must-wins and the opening game of the World Series -- the Red Sox have outscored their opponents <strong>43-6</strong>. They are also the first team in baseball history to score 10+ runs in three consecutive post-season games.<br /><br />Keep it going.<br /><br />***<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRQADcx_AyqzuE0ydLApIGmynf0QrGLKOuOKtU6cSxvjcUW797qWMVj9nmeK4d-_zrmuGIHNN7FNdQJXmTAyeLhKJg-g3M-bzcEOmmYm6TjL-0FGl99BryjAYiDHue2JKQOosHbg/s1600-h/mlbweb.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125341768721538402" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRQADcx_AyqzuE0ydLApIGmynf0QrGLKOuOKtU6cSxvjcUW797qWMVj9nmeK4d-_zrmuGIHNN7FNdQJXmTAyeLhKJg-g3M-bzcEOmmYm6TjL-0FGl99BryjAYiDHue2JKQOosHbg/s320/mlbweb.jpg" style="display:block;
