Coming Apart at the Elbows
I woke up this morning looking forward to the day. The Sox were on the verge of a sweep and then Beckett was going to come back to face a team he held to one run over 8IP just a few weeks ago. Things were looking good. And then I went to ESPN.com and couldn’t figure out which headline was worse: “Late Giambi heroics drive Yanks by BoSox” or “Beckett scratched, will visit Dr. Andrews.”
What the hell? I go to sleep for a couple of hours and the Sox are literally falling apart! But that’s OK, since at least they’ll have the pitcher with the 5th highest ERA on the mound on Friday. Oh, wait, that’s right, Dice-K doesn’t qualify for the league lead in ERA since he has only thrown 132.2 innings and the minimum is 133.* Good thing the pen has been lights-out…or not.
*Thanks to my friend Aaron for the Dice-K stat.
Sportscenter did a big highlight on it. the sox wanna send Beckett to Dr. Andrews specifically to just check it out to make sure its nothing more. Lets send out a little prayer that he will be back withouth anything serious.
