9/21: Timmeh returns

Written on September 21st, 2009 by Evan Brunell51333 Commentshttp://firebrandal.com/2009/09/21/921-timmeh-returns.html9%2F21%3A+Timmeh+returns2009-09-22+00%3A00%3A00Evan+Brunell

GAME NOTES: Tim Wakefield returns after having to skip a start due to his constant back pain. He will start only once every 10 days from hereon out. Mike Silver wondered earlier today if this is Wake’s final season. Opposing Wake is Lenny DiNardo, a former Red Sox lefty.

Boston Red Sox And Oakland Athletics Workout Day

Two Sundays from now, we’ll be readying for our tilt with the Los Angeles Angels in the American League Division Series.

Boston just finished up a three-game tilt with the Mike Scioscia-led Angels, winning two out of three games. (The Red Sox lost the last game on a passed third strike at the hands of Varitek, who had a similar foul up in Wednesday’s comeback win.)

Tthe Sox are clearly firing on all cylinders for the first time all season.

But if things are going to go horribly, horribly wrong in a quest for the World Series title, here’s where it will…

He has a “loose bone fragment” in his lower back which will need offseason surgery and the resultant rehab.

And… that’s a lot for a pitcher to endure, especially one with a family, two rings, and nothing left to prove on the mound…
