There's little logic to Martinez decision

For almost six months, he was just harmless, never-say-bunt Tito. A player's boss in the tradition of Pete Carroll, Terry Francona told us he loved his guys and he took blame for anything they did wrong. He drove some fans crazy with game strategy and pitcher deployment (the usual stuff), but most of Red Sox Nation viewed him as a ...

The Red Sox never said their first offer to Pedro Martinez was their last. And while one prominent member of the Yankees after another wooed the three-time Cy Young Award winner in recent days, the Sox sweetened their offer to Martinez, though not enough to reach an agreement with the prized free agent.

Admit it, Red Sox fans. You put last night's game in the win column as soon as you found out the pitching matchup.

It would have been easy to take the bait. Acknowledge that, yes, September is a traditionally difficult month offensively for catchers. That the season has been wearing him down. That the injuries he rarely admits to have caught up with him, making his bat slow and his stroke impotent. Instead, Jason Varitek claimed health, blamed his eyes, and thanked, once ...
