I surfed over to see if the Sox game was over and there was Beckett being checked out after being pulled. The announcers went on showing graphics of his DL stints due to the blisters.
Stay tuned...

He pulled blisters on me last year for the 2nd year running, which is why I vowed to stay well away from him. Last year, when he got put on the DL for blisters, I seem to remember them saying initially that it was a slight back problem. If it isn't blisters this time, it will be soon...
You guys may be overreacting, whatever it was, it started on the mound and the trainer okayed him to keep pitching. If it'd been a blister, I think they'd have pulld him that instant... besides, he threw basically all fastballs yesterday.
