New Poll Question: Who should be considered the No. 3 starter?Clay BuchholzDaisuke MatsuzakaTim WakefieldMy grandmotherIn the wake of Clay Buchholz's poor start in Toronto, it's a legitimate question. We determined Dice-K should be the No. 4 starter in a previous poll, but should he jump up a notch?As always, new poll is up to the right...vote away and argue it out in the comments.Previous Poll Results:If the playoffs started now, who should be the Sox's No. 4 starter?'No' is certainly the logical answer, but will the Sox do it? I don't know. They may want Varitek to start a game here and there and keep V-Mart's bat in the lineup at first. That would dictate a backup catcher... so don't be surprised to see three.

The Famous Final Scene
It's very possible, very probable, that last night was Tim Wakefield's final start. Given his age and physical ailments, it's doubtful Tim will be back in 2010...although I wouldn't be completely surprised he if gave it a shot. As far as the 2009 post-season, I can't figure a scenario that Wake would make the roster.His finale did not do him justice. It was a...
