Alex Cora could tell Terry Francona stories all day. Speaking to reporters before Sunday's series finale with the Rays, Cora looked ahead to his team's next opponent. The Cleveland Indians come to Fenway on Monday for a three-game set between two teams guaranteed to make the playoffs, and it wouldn...

PHILADELPHIA -- A loss like the one suffered by the Red Sox Wednesday night at Citizens Bank Park probably isn't making Alex Cora lose much sleep.
