Reports: Buchholz Out for Season with Broken Back
This is why I generally don’t like hearing other fans (or media personalities) question an athlete’s injury. You never really know when it’s something like this.
For example, a relatively well-known local writer Tweeted this gem last week:
Clay Buchholz will throw off mound Monday despite feeling “stuff” in his back. It’s time for little camper Clay to buck up and pitch thru it
Now, baseball is not this particular writer’s forte, and the view from outsiders tends to be that the purveyors of our national pastime are “soft” in comparison to their mullet-headed ice skating cousins from the north. However, the statement doesn’t look any less idiotic when we are now faced with the news that Clay Buchholz has a stress fracture in his lower back, and his season is likely over.
In related news, the Sox did trade for left-handed starter Erik Bedard. More on that (along with an updated prospect list) next.
which asshole tweeted THAT???
It is perfect that we are able to take the home loans moreover, it opens completely new possibilities.
Joe Haggarty. A decent hockey writer, who occasionally covers the Sox only because it is a job requirement.
