The Red Sox will soon open the clubhouse to the media, and more information will become available on Josh Beckett's oblique injury. The Sox said Sunday night that Beckett, who hurt himself Friday while throwing a bullpen session, will be able to pitch Game Three of the ALDS on Sunday.

However, a strained oblique tends to sideline a player for longer than a week. The Sox have had four oblique injuries in the last two years, and the average amount of time missed was three to four weeks:

Mike Lowell -- Sidelined from August 12-September 5, 2008. Missed 19 games.
Bartolo Colon -- Sidelined from April 4-May 10, 2008 (at Pawtucket). Missed 34 games.
Manny Ramirez -- Sidelined from August 28-Sept. 25, 2008. Missed 24 games.
Mike Timlin -- Sidelined from March 23-April 10, 2007. Missed 6 regular-season games.

The walking trip is what the other girls took that I didn't get to do baesuce of my broken foot. I saw it all from our tour, but not inside.My Kevin is a baseball fan and LaDonna or I always have to pick up a baseball cap when we travel. Once while on a business trip, LaDonna took a taxi to the stadium, got out, ran up to the gift shop, bought a baseball cap, jumped back in the taxi and headed for the airport. She didn't dare go home without a cap. DH
