So the Red Sox roster is just about finalized, and as always, there is room for discussion. The Sox have decided that Paul Byrd would be the 11th pitcher, and that MDC will be sitting this one out.

Holy buckets! Could they have squeezed any more drama and pathos out of that game last night? 12 innings, and the Twins squeeze out the winning hit to beat the reeling Tigers 6-5. What a way to kick off the postseason for the Twins, who are going to need it, as they never beat the [...]
