Around The Majors- Friday

-The formerly hot Rockies have been compromised by some excellent Boston pitching, and a Fenway crowd louder than a frat party with elderly neighbors. Curt Schilling pitched another stellar game, and Scott Van Pelt of ESPN proclaimed that superbridge Hideki Okajima is far more important to his team than heralded Japanese starter Daisuke Matsuzaka. John Kruk claims that this series is over, but the change over to Coors Field in Colorado will make this a series again, according to SI Baseball savant Tom Verducci. The outfields are much deeper, causing Manny Ramirez to play further out without the Green Monster to hide his fielding liability. And the lack of a DH will cause the Sox to lose the bat of either Youkilis, Ortiz, or Lowell in all 3 games. Josh Fogg starts for the Rox, who has a 1.19 ERA this postseason, Dice-K on the other hand has a playoff ERA of over 5.5. Obviously, game 3 is a must for Colorado.
-While the Yankees decide on a new skipper, the Dodgers may not be as interested in Joe Girardi as once anticipated, according to the LA Daily News. In honor of the team's 50th year in LA, the Dodgers plan on playing a game at The Coliseum.
-The Yankees plan on picking up Bobby Abreu's option, says the New York Post.
-Torii Hunter has not heard from the Twins yet, so it looks like he's a goner. Texas, anyone??
-JC Romero will test free agency, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
