When it rains, it pours...
"When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions."
-William Shakespeare
I think Billy Shakespeare was channeling the 2005 Red Sox when he wrote that line in the early 17th century.
Papelbon felt a stinging sensation in his right shoulder and was removed from work in the ninth inning today (a game the Sox actually won 2-1). This is ridiculous. Has any team EVER experienced this many injuries to their 40-man roster in one season?
On NESN he just called it fatigue-related and that the best case scenario was he'd be back in a couple of days. But Lester thought he'd be checking out of Mass General after a car accident with some minor bumps and bruises, and instead he got a cancer diagnosis. Papelbon, our resident Oncologist, also said in the press conference that Jon Lester would be back to play for us by spring training next year. And you thought Southeastern Conference athletes never went to class...
This team makes me cynical. You'll have to forgive me.
Just did some research... Alex Cora, who can also pitch by the way, is the ONLY player on the 25-man roster who hasn't spent time nursing injuries. Look at this:
David Ortiz - Irregular heartbeat
Manny Ramirez - Knees
Willy Mo Pena - Wrist
Trot Nixon - Forearm
Kapler - out for most of this season with achilles issues
Coco Crisp - broken finger
Youkilis - sat out a few games with elbow problems after HBP
Lowell - can't stop fouling the ball off his foot, out a few games for that
Loretta - Back
Gonzo - Knees
Varitek - Knee
Dougie M - Back
Pitchers:
Wakefield - rib cage/back
Schilling - strained lat (he's missing his next start)
Lester - cancer
Papelbon - Shoulder
Beckett - finger cut issues, only guy to not miss a start yet, but had to have a few pushed back
Clement - worthless piece of shit with everything wrong with him, including his vagina
Delcarmen - shoulder
Dinardo - 60 day DL
Timlin- Shoulder
Foulke - Knees/Back
Is this payback to the baseball Gods for what they let us accomplish in 2004? Can this really be happening? Currently we are down Nixon, Manny, Tek, Clement, Wily Mo, AGon, Ortiz, Wakefield, Lester, Schilling and Papelbon. Kevin FUCKING Jarvis is going to start tomorrow! Our rotation is currently made up of JULIAN TAVAREZ, Kyle Snyder, Kevin Jarvis, Josh Beckett and Lenny Dinardo. Alex Cora may soon have to join this rotation.
It's just a flesh wound...
