With
The Carmine Hose on the sidelines for Game Seven of
The 2014 World Series, we have to
really scrape for any—
even tenuous—Red Sox connections. As it turns out, only the San Francisco Giants have any former Boston players—
Jake Peavy (who really spit the bit last night),
Javier Lopez (who's pitched great in 1.2 innings—0.00 ERA—in
The Fall Classic), and
Hunter Strickland (who was traded out of the Sox farm system for about a week-and-a-half of
Adam LaRoche). The only even
remote connection on the Royals is relief pitcher
Tim Collins—who certainly visited Fenway Park many times having grown up in Worcester. That's about it, folks.
Our guess is that Lopez has the best chance of impacting tonight's game.
