Francona sticking with Beckett in Game 6
So Boston Red Sox Manager Terry Francona was not bluffing. Francona repeatedly said that he would start the wobbly Josh Beckett in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series on Saturday, even as questions mounted about whether Jon Lester would be the better choice. By sticking with Beckett, Francona has put the season on the line. The Red Sox trail, three games to two, in the best-of-seven series and must win the next two games if they want to return to the World Series for a second year in a row. "He's one of the best competitors in the game, so whatever he can give us, we'll take and hopefully it's good enough to win," Francona said.

Good luck with that, just make sure he doesn't spot the other team a touchdown like Game 5, ythe BoSox caught lightning in a bottle that game and we all know lightning doesn't strike the same place twice! ;P
