Uh, oh Red Sox Nation! After Josh Beckett has had his start pushed back a couple of times, the worst possible news came down on Thursday. The three words that no fantasy player ever wants to hear…….Doctor James Andrews! Beckett’s next start was postponed again, and he will be going to see Dr. Andrews to evaluate his elbow. Stay tuned for the result of this visit…

Aaron Harang was finally able to get back into the win column on Friday, as he threw six shutout innings and struck out four batters as he raised his nightmare season’s record to 4-13. The Harangatang, as one of my most loyal readers likes to call him, won his first game since June 13th, and even though he had a quality…

Since his return from the disabled list, Fausto Carmona has been less than spectacular. He was better than he has been lately, going seven innings, allowing only two earned runs, and walking three. The thing that keeps me away from Carmona was exactly what occurred again tonight. In those seven innings he pitched tonight, he struck out NOBODY. When you get a fantasy…

It may be hard to believe, but on Sunday Lance Berkman connected on his first homer since June 30th. They guy who looked like he was a shoe in for the MVP has slowed WAY down over the last six weeks. He is still having a great season batting .334 with 23 homers, 79 RBI, and 15 steals, but fantasy…

Kerry Wood
Wood developed a blister on his right index finger prior to the All-Star break that didn’t heal up so some reports say he’s heading for the DL and others say he can avoid it. Blisters are more than a nuisance to a pitcher if he tries to pitch through it because it almost always ends up in some mechanical changes as the athlete is subconsciously avoiding the…

It’s been long weekend in which I had family visiting and I got screwed out of close to $1,000 at the horse track yesterday. I had a pick 4 going and on the 3rd horse, initially I was a winner. Then there was an inquiry and wouldn’t you know it, I lost the inquiry. Of course, the I picked the winner of the 4th race. So bye bye almost…

Carlos Pena is continuing to turn around his horrible start of the season. Pena connected on his 14th homer today at Yankee Stadium, and it was his third in the past six games. He has also driven in nine runs in that span and raised his average ten points. He obviously can’t reach last year’s career stats, but he…

With Andruw Jones on a rehab assignment, the Dodgers’ outfield looks like it might become a headache for fantasy owners again. With Juan Pierre playing well, together with young stars Andre Eithier and Matt Kemp, there are one more good players than there are positions to play. With Jones and Pierre signed to big contracts, it looks like it will come down…

Starting on Saturday June 14th, we are going to be having a change in structure at least on a demo basis. Instead of this Beyond the Boxscore article every night, we will be making a post for each news item and posting them as they become relevant. I am very interested to get all of your feedback either by email (love my emailers!) or you can post a comment…
