Looks like all the big news in Red Sox Nation the last few days is about Josh Beckett and his back problems. With all the speculation from the media about whether or not he will make the trip to Japan for his scheduled start on March 24th I think that they have missed the bigger picture. What is that bigger picture you ask? I'll tell you: Who cares? It's game number 1. It's a trip he probably doesn't want to make anyway, and I would rather have him sitting at home watching the game if there is any doubt about his physical condition. It must be a real slow week in Boston sports for this to be getting so much press.
In other news, it looks like Johnny Damon is continuing to fall apart. After fouling a pitch off of his right foot he was taken to a local hospital for x-rays. The x-rays were negative but it's nice to see him hobbling around already. I personally look forward to his continued deterioration throughout the season.
