PREGAME: Lester Intended to Pitch Game Four

BOSTON -- When Tim Wakefield was unable to answer the bell for a Game Two start tomorrow night, it opened the door for Jon Lester to make a World Series start.

Lester is expected to start Game Four in Colorado. He threw a four-inning simulated game Tuesday during the Sox' workout. Of course, circumstances in the first three games could alter the Sox' plan, said manager Terry Francona.

''We fully intend for Lester to pitch Game Four, but again, there could be weather, there could be things that happen during games that change things. Unless something crazy happens, he will pitch,'' said Francona.
