Beckett Scratched From Tomorrow's Start

If today's game wasn't bad enough, we now have Josh Beckett out again. Here's what Tito said in the post game press conference:

"I think the best word I can use is we're just trying to get some closure," Francona said. "We never want to send anyone out there that's not 100 percent. We're no more pessimistic about him today than we were, but when he goes out there [again] we want him to be able to pitch with peace of mind."
Let's just hope they are being extra cautious with him and that this is not a season ending injury.

Fingers and toes are crossed for good news from the doctor!

I don't see a way the Sox repeat without him

I definitely think they can repeat without him, it will just be harder, and more people will have to step up. On offense, for example. If they score 6+ runs a game, light's out pitching is not as critical.

All in all, having Josh boosts their chances a lot. Not having him reduces their chances, but certainly does not eliminate them.

I don't think he is done, there is still time for him to get back.
