With all the questions that have flowed through Josh Beckett's initial season with the Red Sox -- Why all the home runs? When is he going to live up to his potential? Why did Anibal Sanchez, and not Beckett, throw the first no-hitter between the two? -- the final effort of the season from the prize trade acquisition seemed strangely ...

It is a strange time in baseball. The announcement of Hall of Fame voting is due today, and the issue of performance-enhancing drugs was part of the thought process for voters in determining which of the boxes they checked off.
