"While Boston's starting pitching couldn't match a Yankees rotation of Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, Mike Mussina and David Wells last year,...."

 

I am no longer a big Red Sox fan, but that remark is ridiculous. The Red Sox were leading in that 7th game and Pedro should have been pulled as the Sox bullpen had been outstanding last October. Red Sox management now claims that Grady Little was going to be sacked anyhow but that is garbage. If Grady Little had won that game he would have been signed to a multi year contract no matter what happened in the Series. 

It is always and only about beating those damn Yankees.

Also Roger Clemens may be a good pitcher when it don't count, but he is my opinion the biggest choke player in my lifetime. Clemens always chokes in big games. From the 1986 World Series, and then when he got himself thrown out against the A's  in the playoffs, till last year when he was slaughtered by the Sox in September, and then again later left game 7 of the ALCS losing 4 to zip.

I'd love to see a Sox Astros Series just so that the so called Rocket can be embarrassed once again in the clutch!

Grady Little couldn't pull Pedro, but the manager the Bosox have now (I forget his name) doesn't seem to have the authority to make such a move. He is afraid his name (whatever it is) will become synonymous with "The next Grady Little".

Daddy always said that you don't name the steers. I don't think I'm gonna spend a lot of effort remembering this guy's name.
