Mgr October: Francona has Indians 1 win from Series title (Yahoo Sports)

Terry Francona is on the verge of ending another long World Series drought. Cleveland's maestro of a manager, who has pushed all the right buttons this season and especially over the past few weeks, moved closer to capturing his third Series title as the Indians beat the Chicago Cubs 7-2 in Game 4 on Saturday night to take a 3-1 lead. Francona is the one who guided the Boston Red Sox around the ''Curse of the Bambino'' in 2004, helping them to their first title in 86 years.
