D: D: D: D: D: D: D: The Red Sox could be facing a Tom Brady-like blow to their postseason plans.
Just as the Patriots are trying to make it work this season without the injured Brady as their quarterback, the Red Sox could be going into the playoffs without Josh Beckett as the ace of their pitching staff.
According to a source, Beckett sustained an oblique injury during a bullpen session following his last start.
Yeah my hopes of the Red Sox making it past the ALDS goes from 70% to 40% and it's only at that because of the fact that it's a 5 game series. If it was a 7 game then fuck that. This may explain why I did see Pauley and Hansack in the pen today...they were to be sent to Fort Myers to keep warmed up in case they were summoned for the ALCS should the Red Sox make it.
