Chat with Chad Finn at noon
 
11:53
Boston.com -  Good afternoon, Boston.com chatters. Chad will be here in a few minutes to talk Sox, Pats, Pedro, and whatever else is on your minds. In the meantime, feel free to start submitting questions now . . .
12:04
Chad Finn -  Hey guys -- Thanks for stopping by. Can't get last night's Series game off my mind. Reminded me of how much I loved watching Pedro, and how frustrating it used to be to have the offense let him down in the Bronx. That's about as compelling as it gets, though.

[Comment From This Guy]
How cool was it to see Pedro pitch like that last night? Were it not for Charlie Manuel's Grady Little impersonation the game might have ended a little more favorably (unlike Mazz I refuse to root for the Yankees).
12:07
Chad Finn -  Maybe, though at least Manuel was wise enough to get Pedro out of there before he faced Posada. (Posada says all the right things, but c'mon -- you know he HATES Pedro.) But if it had stayed a one-run game and they eighth inning somehow played out in a similar fashion, Manuel would be getting killed for not starting the runners -- or protesting the blown call at first base -- on Utley's DP. You have to get Howard a shot in that situation.

[Comment From GreasyWindow]
So seeing Toni Braxton do the anthem last week got me thinking about Curtis Martin. He quietly had an incredibly productive career. How much HOF consideration do you think he'll get? Do you think he regrets not sticking with the Pats and getting a ring or two?
12:10
Chad Finn -  You know, after all of the success the Pats have had this decade, Curtis still may be my all-time favorite Pats player. (And I suspect you know this when you submitted the question.) Total class act, incredibly fun to watch (remember the spin move against the Packers in the Super Bowl?), and a lock for the Hall of Fame -- he's fourth on the all-time rushing list. But I don't think he regrets leaving the Pats -- he doesn't strike me as someone who wastes time on regret. The Patriots probably should regret calling him an injury risk and paying the likes of Todd Rucci instead, however.

Are you in Mazz's camp and rooting for the Yankees to win because that will be better for the Red Sox?
12:11
Chad Finn -  Noooooooooope. I'm rooting for a couple of people things: 1) Pedro. 2) Ryan Howard (just a likeable dude). 3) A memorable World Series (so far, so good). 4) And a soul-crushing seventh-game loss for the Yankees.

[Comment From Josh]
any chance the rivalry between Mazz and Felger is just contrived to drive up ratings? I feel like they make ridiculous claims and arguments just to be contrarian to each other, but seem to almost like each other at other times... it's a little annoying and I'd prefer they just talk sports straight... like Tanguay and Zolak do.
12:12
Chad Finn -  It's genuine.
