Boston Shuts Down Beckett

The Red Sox have scratched Josh Beckett from his next start, and have sent him to see Dr. James Andrews about numbness and tingling in his elbow. (For what it's worth, that reminds me of the symptoms the Dodgers' Brad Penny complained of about two years ago before becoming steadily ineffective.)

The side effects could include a postseason without the Sawx and Yankees, with the Angels, Chisox, and Rays taking their respective divisions, and the Twins winning the AL Wild Card.

Hopefully he'll recovery by November.

Numbness and tingling in his elbow – Never a good thing.

Interesting

I am pretty sure the Yankees are cashing out and aiming for next year, but Beckett has struggled all year and the BoSox are still in the thick of things. I would love for the Rays to take that division so we won’t face Boston in the playoffs, but Tampa plays a lot of it’s last games on the road including several with both Boston and NY. Anything could happen.

I want the Angels to beat Boston in the playoffs...

however, there are too many excuses now for the chowds to use…. No more Manny, Beckett’s hurt, no Schilling….etc, etc. So, it will be less exciting to beat them, but still might make me feel better about 1986 and all the other sports pain (basketball and football) Boston has provided me over the years.
