The Red Sox are on a Rocky Mountain High (okay, so I had to get that line out of my system, with the Rockies coming) ... Crazy night last night, going from a close game to a rout.

Did you see all the ex Sea Dogs contributing?

Kevin Youkilis scored the winning run.

Jacoby Ellsbury was on base, when Dustin Pedoira hit his two-run homer.

Jonathan Papelbon got a six-out save.

Fun to watch the Hadlock alumni at Fenway.

With the World Series starting Wednesday, the Red Sox will now have to re-set their playoff roster. Think there will be any changes?

Tavarez for Gagne?

And do you start Curt Schilling in Game 2? He would be on a normal rest period, but he has been doing better lately with extra rest.

Would you start Wakefield in Game 2 instead? Isn't the idea of Wakefield pitching in Colorado a little frightening?

There will be debate, for sure. But I would think Schilling is going in Game 2 (which sets him up for Game 6).

Daisuke Matsuzaka will eventually become more than a reliable 5-inning pitcher. For now, the Red Sox will take it.

And while Colorado is on quiet a streak, the Red Sox do possess the streak-stopper. Namely, Josh Beckett.

The Rockies are a fun story. Can't wait to start researching and writing.

As always, thanks for your emails and input.

I'll stay in touch.
