Great win for the Sox. Experience really bested youth, and they're going to be hard to beat now.

Schilling is pitching this postseason not only for a championship, but for possible HOF induction some day. His career regular season numbers fall a little short of what other HOF pitchers have attained, but his postseason resume is outstanding and can't be ignored. I think he's getting in.

I guess you have to get David Ortiz in the lineup somehow, and first base may be the only place you can hide him, but you lose a lot without Youkilis. Well, Francona's judgment has been solid so far.
