Call it the curse of interleague play if you will but the Red Sox who returned to Boston last night are a battered, bruised bunch. Between Pedey, Clay, and now V-Mart we are lucky we have a team to put out on the field.The number of times NESN replayed V-Mart getting hit on his toe with that foul ball was disturbing because every time they showed it all I could think about was the time I lost my baby toenail and then ran over it with a stroller. Victor had hit that same toe and lost the toe nail just a few weeks ago. It made me feel a little sick. Also, for the record, I'm pretty sure V-Mart was crying behind his mask, and really, can you blame the guy? If you haven't seen the video, take a look here and let me know if you think he's crying. The odd thing is that it wasn't even the toe that caused him to be pulled from the game, but his thumb, which broke after being hit twice with foul balls.
I'm crossing my fingers and toes that V-Mart is not out for long, because without him and Pedey things are going to get dicey. Now imagine if we lost Beltre and Youk as well. Oy vey!
