Injuries? Hasn’t anyone Hammering Hank Steinbrenner this year? They have had the WORST injuries of ANY team in the history of baseball!

ST doesn’t count – because missing ST games doesn’t impact the season.

And Jason “New Guy” “Sunflower of Perfection” “Beaker” “NARCISSISTIC MANCHILD” Bay was indeed held out for a spell in Pittsburgh in June. And since I was looking at who on the team has stayed healthy all season, I can’t count him… because he hasn’t.

Also, was our NARCISSISTIC MANCHILD DL’d back in Pittsburgh? Because he’s definitely played every game since his arrival (shocking to have that consistency in LF). If so, does that really count as a Red Sox injury/illness?

I don’t know if this counts, but Dustin did miss a few games in ST from the flu. Remember, he wouldn’t stay home?

Besides, he can’t be on the bench. He just refuses to. I’ll bet he’s a huge pain in the ass when given a day off.

I say the death flu counts. That shit was BAD. As they’ve pointed out, Tek could still be recovering all his strength given the severity of his case. (This isn’t excuse-making, it’s a legitimate point being made. I swear the flu does this, having lived through it.)

I was conflicted which group to include him in — but since neither the Red Sox official transaction wire listed him as being held out, nor did the SI or ESPN injury reports list him as missing a game, I put him in the latter group.

Well I dunno about Varitek not being hurt. Keep in ind that he also was really really sick about twiceover this season with a form the Zombie Death Flu which also hit Delcarmen, Dice, Clay, and I think Beckett too.
