    Clay Buchholz-OUT for the postseason

    BOSTON -- Boston rookie Clay Buchholz won't pitch for the rest of the year and will miss the postseason because of shoulder fatigue.

    This could be a very big blow to that Red Sox pen during there post season run this year. This kid has really shown some promise this year especially after that no-hitter he threw against Baltimore a few weeks back.

    That curse was broke after winning that 2004 world series Pico.

    By 50 years do you mean 3 weeks?

    As for Buchholz, it was unlikely Francona would have put him in the game in a meaningful situation in the playoffs anyway, so as good as Buchholz is/will be, it will probably have little impact.

    If Okajima doesn't regain his form from earlier in the season, the Sox have no shot of winning the pennant.

    Completely agree. While he did throw the no-no, this was still a guy who pitched only 22 innings and appeared in 4 games...But hey, thanks to Pico, the "Curse of the Buchholz" watch can replace the now-defunct Curse of the Bambino.

    On paper and what I have seen , it seems the AL bullpens all are a liabiltiy . I dont like the Angels closer at all no matter what he has done .
    If I was manager I would have the take sign on and he would walk batter after batter . He is a master at making players swing at balls .........
    We have to remember that the Cards bullpen looked worse than all of these teams and they stepped up , rose to the occassion and won the World Series , the suspect joke bullpen stepped up ......
