Wells Ills
David Wells injured his foot last night against the Orioles:
The 41-year-old southpaw left the game after sustaining what initially was diagnosed as a sprained right foot while trying to field a ground ball in the fourth inning. He was taken for undisclosed tests at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where the Sox frequently send players for MRIs.
Johnny Damon summed up Boston's pitching woes:
``Our pitching staff is pretty banged up,'' said Sox center fielder Johnny Damon [stats, news], who was 3-for-3 with two walks. ``I said all along in spring training, if we can stay healthy, we'll be fine. We have Curt Schilling, who's not totally healthy. We have Wade Miller [stats, news] (rotator cuff) and now David Wells, and Matt Mantei got hurt. We just need to stay in the thick of things.''

Looks like Theo's plan for the rotation may work out pretty well, what with Miller coming off the DL in the next week or two...
I think a lot of teams would kill for Boston's "pitching woes". Their starters' ERA of 3.48 will do just fine. Here's to keeping up the "woes".
