The Rotation Is Set!

The Boston Red Sox have set their pitching rotation for the American League Championship Series, and Tito and John Farrell got it exactly right. It's Josh Beckett in game one, and he'll face CC Sabathia. In game two, and here is where Tito got it right, it will be Curt Schilling against Carmona. Matsuzaka and Wakefield, if his back holds up, round it out. If for some reason Wakes can't go, Josh Beckett will pitch on 3 days rest in game 4, and then if there's a 7th game, he will be available again on his normal 4 days of rest.

No news on Joe Torre yet, but I hope when the news does comes down, and it will, they keep him....they would never be able to find anyone better. Not on this earth. Or any other inhabited planets.

Click on the title of this post for the Globe's Gordon Edes' look at the Sox pitching rotation, including all the ifs, ands or buts. And as we approach the 61 hour mark until first pitch time, I wish you all well, and have a great hump day!

No ballgame to watch while I work at night.
Bummer.

I hope they keep Torre because they can't get past the 1st round with him in control.

Gerry, not until Friday night.....7:10, on a station near you! REALLY near!
Hi Laura, your thoughts echo mine. He is truly a good guy who was reduced to tears on his first game back after his cancer hiatus, by the Fenway fans' lous and sincere show of love. That touched me so much!
Thank you both!!
