First Little Dusty Big Stick breaks his foot Friday night after fouling a pitch of it.
Saturday, Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz, who is 10-4 on the season, hyper-extended his knee running the bases (Interleague play!) and had to leave the game.
Then yesterday, Boston catcher Victor Martinez suffered a broken thumb after getting nailed with not one but two foul balls.
The Red Sox are a walking mash unit. Jacoby Ellsbury has been out, Josh Beckett has been out, J.D. Drew has missed games with a hamstring problem (J.D. Drew hurt? No way. If Lou Gehrig was the Iron Horse then Drew is at least the Paper Mache Horse, no?)
Terry Francona is doing a great job keeping Boston in contention at 46-31, 2-games behind the Yankees in the AL East and leading the wildcard by a game over the Rays. But how much longer can the Red Sox stay in the race with all the injuries?
Still, I've learned in the past, never count this team out.
