Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
It appears that if the Boston Red Sox are going to overcome the current 5 1/2-game deficit they face and get into the playoffs this season, they're going to have to do it without their second baseman, and former AL MVP, Dustin Pedroia. According to the Boston Globe, the Red Sox are likely to shut Pedroia down for the rest of the season.Pedroia missed 44 games this season after fouling a ball off of his left foot and breaking a bone. He was activated off the disabled list on Aug. 17, but played in only two games before soreness in his foot required that he be placed back on the disabled list.
Pedroia will be spending the next 10 days or so with a boot on the foot, according the Globe, after which doctors will have a better idea of whether or not surgery will need to be performed on the foot.
The good news is that it seems Pedroia hasn't re-injured the foot, but that it's just healing a bit slower than it was expected to.
The bad news, of course, is that the deliberate pace of healing that is taking place, combined with the fact Pedroia came back too early, is probably going to cost him the rest of the 2010 season.
He had been hitting .288 with 12 home runs and 41 RBI in 75 games for the Red Sox this season.
