Hey all I'm saying is this easily could have bee avoided by one conversation.
Miller: Terry can I speak with you for a second?
Francona: Sure Wade. What's on your mind?
Miller: Well I don't think I should start tomorrow night, my shoulder is a little tender, plus I suck. Our All-Star pitcher, Matt Clement should be good to go, he is superior to me in all things pitching, why don't you let him start?
Francona: That's a good idea Wade, we can let Gonzalez start the last game of the series, it's only the Royals so he can't be that bad. Thanks for letting me know.
If this happens we are winning 6-0 right now and Manny is probably still in the game.
