CHICAGO -- This national TV stuff, Terry Francona still has some work to do. &quot;I showed up for the wrong inning,&quot; said the Red Sox manager, who had been lined up to do a between-innings interview by Fox yesterday and eventually got on, but just a little later than he thought he would.

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 ...

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- While the Red Sox remained relatively tight-lipped about their postseason pitching plans, they made this much clear: They will go with a four-man rotation and resist any temptation to bring back their Game 1 starter on short rest in Game 4.

Wait Till Last Year. Has a nice ring to it, no? For 85 years Red Sox fans moaned about why the Sox didn't win, and looked ahead with the highest of hopes.
