Francona and Pedroia - AP

The Red Sox have set their pitching rotation and now the brain trust will meet today to discuss the roster. Rumblings are that Kevin Cash will be left off the roster to add another pitcher, Tim Wakefield. If Wake feels fine after throwing a simulated game yesterday, he will be your Game 4 starter in Cleveland. There is still two more days off before the first pitch on Friday night so while we wait, let’s take a look at the headlines and happenings from the Boston and Cleveland area on this rainy, cool Soxtober morning.
