Coyne's Clippings (World Series Edition)

Too much glorious baseball, not enough time. Schilling with another unbeleiveable performance on Sunday night.

Shaughnessy recaps. And if anyone wonders years from now, why there is a little aprehension about Pedro these days,Bob Ryan points out the positives and negatives of Petey right now.

Ryan also had a great column about the best backup catcher in the business, Doug Mirabelli.

UMass grad Dan Wetzel has a cool column on the nail beating the hammer from last week. More recently, he has this article on the Harborlights Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in South Boston. It's similar to an article Dan Shaughnessy wrote late this summer, or last last summer, but good non the less.

From Monday, Shaughnessy ponders "perhaps the grandest celebration in 374 years of Hub history."

Of course that was followed up in today's (Tuesday's) Globe article that people are quietly planning a parade, which will be the nine times bigger than the Patriots celebration. WHY DOES THIS GET INTO THE PAPER????!!!! Who in their right mind wants to talk about this, although I agree it needs to be planned preliminarlry, DON'T ACTUALLY CONFRIM THE STORY TO THE NEWSPAPERS! It's as bad as last year when somehow someone got into Fenway and got a photo of the painting of the World Series logo on the field. (Why it was being done that early I have no idea, I mean the Yankees had the same turn-around time as the Sox to get that logo on their field, so why force the issue and paint it early?????!)
