Was it Dice-K’s disappointment — 4 2/3 innings, 3 runs, 7 hits, 3 BBs — in Game 2 against the Angels on Friday night? Or was it Schilling’s great performance — 7 innings, 0 runs, 6 H, 0 BBs — on Sunday?
How about all of the above.
Schilling was named the Game 2 starter of the ALCS against the Indians at Fenway Park, going against Fausto Carmona.
It is deserved. Schilling’s last regular season performance, against the … continued »

Francona stops rolling Dice,
and other playoff observations
Dice-K didn’t cometh. J.D. Drew finally came through, at least one time. And the managers, Terry Francona and Mike Scioscia, had a little game of chess last night.
Here are 10 observations as the Boston Red Sox arrived in Anaheim, up 2-0, and an overwhelming favorite to come home Tuesday morning, at the latest, ready for the American League Championship Series:
1. Dice-K blew a big opportunity.
The Red Sox No. 2 … continued »

Because most of the Red Sox were not available, including Josh Beckett and Curt Schilling, who were flying somewhere over the mid-west about the time last night’s game started, I wasn’t able to get to your questions.
Trust me, I have them and will be looking for more. The best time for questions with players, coaches and club personnel will probably be on off days and early pre-game.
Back to the job at hand, here are a … continued »

I will be heading down to Fenway Park early tomorrow and will open up an opportunity to my blessed readers.
If you’d like to ask a player a question, any player, what would it be?
Leave it in the comments section and I will try to get answers to all questions before the start of tomorrow night’s games.
Let’s keep this clean. You can ask a personal question as to why a guy wears a necklace to a … continued »

While the Red Sox are on an off day — looking as “on” as ever this season — it’s a good time to look at what’s happening with the second most important baseball team around here | The New York Yankees.
They play tonight against the Indians.
I picked the Indians in 5 games. Am I crazy?
I believe tonight’s game is the key to the series, with C.C. Sabathia, leading the way for the Indians.
What are … continued »

Without having the ability to give a plausible explanation why, it is 5:35 p.m., an hour or so from the first pitch, and it doesn’t feel like a playoff game.
Why?
I can’t explain it. There just isn’t a buzz yet. Maybe it’s too warm, about 70 degrees, and maybe the Angels come to town with little or no fanfare, but the Sox-Yanks season finale felt 10 times more important than tonight’s game.
Of course, I expect that … continued »
