Congratulations to Terry Francona! The Red Sox have extended his contract for at least three more years, and rightly so. Francona has gone 8-0 in World Series games in the 21st century. No other manager can be said to have done that...I'm not sure if any other manager has ever done that in any century. I'm glad to see that extension take place.

Josh Beckett seems to be picking up right where he left off last season. The word is that he is pretty strong in batting practice down in Florida. If the big B stays healthy, I really believe that he may become one of the best pitchers in the game. I don't think he will ever reach Nolan's numbers...I don't think anyone will ever top those. But he will certainly reach some milestones. I remember watching him in last year's playoffs...there were times when the expression on his face seemed to say, "This isn't supposed to be this easy..."

Well, we actually have some games this week! And the first televised game for the Sox on Friday evening. I'll be watching on MLB TV. I need to hound AT&T Uverse and get them to take on NESN down here in Texas...Heh.

Also...if anyone read my last post about getting to sing "Take Me Out To the Ballgame" at Rangers Ballpark...I seriously hope they don't schedule me to sing at a Red Sox game. It probably would not be appreciated if I walked out on the field to sing wearing my Yastrzemski jersey. Of course, at least half of the fans at the ballpark would love it...Hahahaha....
