Josh Beckett will not be leading the Red Sox in game 1 vs the Angels, as he injured his oblique throwing a bullpen session yesterday. This is not good news, but they are talking like he is going to be ready for game 3. Thank God the Sox have 3 good starters, or this would be a complete disaster. There is no doubt that Beckett is still the ace of this staff, and you have to look no further than his playoff career numbers, in 10 postseason outings during his career, he is 6-2 with a 1.73 ERA, Including going 4-0 last year. Hopefully this is just a minor injury and he will be fine for game 3. The Sox don't need anymore injuries, since they have already been playing without Mike Lowell and J.D. Drew. With Beckett out for game 1, Lester will take his place, and Dice-K will pitch in the 2nd game.
