Well, I saw an article stating that Francona was going to use JD Drew as a pitcher had the game gone on, and that David Wright was going to pitch if need be, as well. I'm pretty bummed that this didn't happen. I'm also bummed by the general lack of media outrage demanding that the silliness surrounding the ASG and its connection with home field in the World Series seems not to have taken root. If there was any year for that, this would have been it.
