With the Red Sox ALDS roster now available to the reading public, Tito has ended any speculation as to whether Manny Delcarmen would be carried over into the Division Series and postseason. Manny struggled for much of the latter part of the season, though his lousy September (7 IP, 14.14 ERA, 8 BB, 10 K, 4 HR) was undoubtedly the final nail in the coffin for what was at first a very promising year....

The Red Sox made a wise move tonight, activating Paul Byrd for the ALDS and shelving Manny Delcarmen for the series. Byrd figures to be long man out of the pen, someone the Sox can turn to if they need someone to eat up valuable innings should a starter go down or be terribly ineffective. Delcarmen did nothing over the final games to show he belongs as anything other than a garbage time pitcher. Jed...

Even though Manny Delcarmen showed no linger effects from this weekend's car accident, he has been left off of the Red Sox ALDS roster. Paul Byrd will be the 11th man on the pitching staff and will come out of the bullpen. "We just talked to Manny," Francona said. "We're going to not activate him for this series. He actually threw pretty well yesterday. He'll be down today, he'll throw...
