Red Sox/Indians ALCS Notes - 10/15
SOX & Dawgs —
... As you might have expected, there wasn’t a big turnout for the voluntary workout yesterday at Jacobs Field since the Red Sox didn’t get into Cleveland until the wee hours of the morning yesterday. The biggest question was answered yesterday as Terry Francona said that Josh Beckett will not come back on three day’s rest and pitch tomorrow night in Game 4.

"It might not be warm enough this time," he said, noting that the game-time forecast tonight is for temperatures near 60 degrees. "That doesn't mean there aren't a few left out there, though. "But maybe we won't need them to beat Boston." That's all good and fine, but as we already established, Indians fans are eating it up. It's likely they will show up en masse tonight in masks , turning Jacobs Field into the Pixar movie from hell. On that note, then, Red Sox Monster weighs in with Your hand ...
