		<description>&lt;p&gt;For folks still coming here this is the latest from the Scott's Shots column on bostonsportsmedia.com:&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The region's hottest media man, Rob Bradford begins his first day at the Boston Herald today, Wednesday April 25 and his final Bradford on Basbeall posting (at the ever-weak Lawrence Eagle-Tribune site) explains a bit of where we'll now be able to find "Blogford," the multimedia star (WEEI, FSNNE and the Herald).&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Instead of keeping the ET's BOB address and switching the affiliation to the Herald, Bradford and the Herald are starting a new spot for his on-line missives which will borrow the name of Bradford's old Eagle-Tribune column, the the "Bradford Files", where he'll provide what he calls a "ESPN.com's Page 2 vibe."&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The Herald has secured the rights to the www.bradfordfiles.com site and although that might not be up and running (or linking) currently, Bradford will begin blogging at either the "Clubhouse Insider" or his own, new Herald page beginning today, from Baltimore.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;There was a last minute snafu that wound up making the use of the fledgling "Bradford on Baseball" page unfeasible at Bradford's new employer, the Herald (likely, we're guessing, caused by some clueless E-T suit who needed to justify his own unjustifiable salary by playing the "no"-man).&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;No worries though - Bradford's exposure and reach will automatically be increased substantially simply by getting on the Herald site and it's not the worst thing to have a new "brand name" with which to hail the Bradford arrival at the Herald.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Rob,&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Before you leave for the Boston Herald, can you please give us one last update on the kittens who were left homeless in Andover?  I've been worried sick.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Thanks for your dedication.  Go Sox!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Rob,&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Perhaps I am a nervous nelly...&lt;BR/&gt;But what the heck is Timlin thinking catching all of these home run balls into the bullpen with a towel?? Better yet, why don't the Sox protect themselves and tell him to cut it out? He could easily break his hand, and land on the DL.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Let be honest on three facts:&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;1.  It would have been just as easy to get swept in those three game as it was to sweep.  Winning is great and momentum is better, but they didn't mean much more, especially as the Yankee get healthier on the pitching front&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;2.  I'll steal a quote from 1 million other souls out there...repeat after me....its April&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;3.  And finally...most importantly, we went at them with out best pitching, while they were down on theirs.  Its clear, that with THAT lineup, you can't beat the Yankees, you can only survive them.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;what is really funny is that the first poster/comment in this column was dead on.  Schilling got outdueled by Pettite, Beckett had some problems (although a lot of bad luck with cheapo hits, etc), and Matsuzaka had some control issues.....&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;and the Sox *still* swept them.  That more than anything is why the Sox should be encouraged, imho - they had 2 less than stellar starts but yet all their starters went through the 7th and the bullpen was almost perfect.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The Yanks will be there in the end - but only if they get starters who occasionally get through the 5th inning....&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Rob- going into the 2004 ALCS, I think everyone felt that our staff should outpitch Kevin Brown, Javy Vazquez and Lieber.&lt;BR/&gt;btp&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;My thoughts on bunting Pedrioa was to keep it close so we can(hopefully) nickel and dime them in the late innings.  I don't think the Sox can go bat for bat with the Yanks(therefore bunting Pedroia and letting the top of the order do thier job).  Thankfully it all worked out in the end.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I still think Willy Mo will be a great talent, but only if he understands his true power is to right...&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Coco Crisp's attempt on A-Rod's HR will prove to be the turning point in his season.  I think he was afraid of getting hurt again and that's why he has perfomed so poorly.  When he got up from his flip un hurt, he realized he can still go all out and not get hurt.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Peace everyone&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;CRoy&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Dusting off ARod isn't necessary.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Schilling throwing fastball after fastball to him was the problem.  His game plan for ARod was puzzling at best.  You get him out his first at bat by using your curveball... and then the next 2 at bats you throw nearly all fastballs to the hottest hitter on the planet.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Schilling needs to update his game plan for the 2007 version of ARod.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;PS. Don't forget about the roles Kyle Snyder and J.D. Drew quietly played tonight.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
