Meet the new Mr. October folks in one Josh Beckett. He has been absolutely lights out in the postseason this year for the Boston Red Sox. And because of his right arm, the Sox are still alive after last night’s beatdown of the Cleveland Indians. The bats started to come alive as Kevin Youkilis had a home run and a triple and even little Dustin Pedroia had a couple of hits as well. All I have to say is will someone tell Manny to start running a little harder. So with that being said, let’s take a look at the headlines from the Boston and Cleveland area media as well Youk on this drizzly morning in Soxtober.
