  Bad news for the longest standing member of the red sox - Tim Wakefield. Unfortunately his back is hurting enough that he is going to rest during the ALDS and, should then advance, hopefully be ready for the the ALCS. In a 7 game series, Wakefield is critically important as a potential starter / longer [...]

Schilling will have his typical control and, despite giving up some runs, walk away with a win. I say the Sox win by two runs: 7-5. [...]

  When Papelbon turned around and instantly threw out Matt Holiday at first to end the 8th inning - Fenway went wild. It was a sensational turn by Papelbon (no delay whatsoever) and, in that same instant, a ridiculous play by Holliday - who had a absurdly big lead before even a single pitch was thrown [...]

  the Red Sox brought in Hideki Okajima. Usually, when Okajima comes in the game, you are three scoreless innings away from a loss. Not tonight. With no outs and two runners on, Matt Holliday absolutely blasted a home run to dead center, bring the Rockies back to 6-5 and giving them considerably more life than they've shown at any point in
