Bold prediction which may not be so bold… Davis will be shut down with a phantom injury and Thorpe will make his return in his place on 8/18 against the Cubs.

We have to production down the stretch and in the playoffs from what had been our Number 1 spot in the rotation for the first half.

This has been a black hole taxing our entire team. Of all our challenges and areas to improve, this is just too glaring to remain stagnant.

There is a reason most of the entirety of Soxtalk wanted Getz to get us two starting pitchers. He failed us as fans and failed this team.

What say you… anybody got something?

I agree with this caveat. We don't know how much if any input/restrictions JR had in the situation at the deadline.

And a blister on the pitching hand isn't a phantom injury.
