Damn flu!!!! Delcarmen sick Posted by Nick Cafardo, Globe Staff April 22, 2008 06:11 PM Manny Delcarmen has left the building. He's suffering from the same flu-like symptoms as Jason Varitek, who is out of today's lineup.

Beckett pulled (updated) Posted by Amalie Benjamin, Globe Staff April 22, 2008 04:18 PM Josh Beckett has been pulled from tonight's start because of a stiff neck. Beckett had been fighting the same illness that has taken Jason Varitek out of the lineup for the past couple of days. So the Red Sox, anticipating that there might be a problem, had pulled David Pauley from his start on Monday. He was told to come to Boston last night, where he spent the evening in a hotel. At about 2 p.m. Pauley was told that he wouldn't be needed tonight, then that was reversed around 4 p.m., when Pauley was told that he would be making the emergency start. The neck issue popped up out of nowhere this afternoon. Manager Terry Francona was actually out watching Mike Lowell take batting practice for the first since since injuring his thumb when the situation with Beckett came up. The team is not yet sure if Beckett will be skipped in his start or whether he might just be pushed back a few days. We're hoping to get more information later, possibly after tonight's game. To make room for Pauley on the roster, Joe Thurston was designated for assignment. The other problem that the Red Sox have right now is that they are short a second catcher. Varitek is still under the weather and, though he did come to the ballpark this afternoon, he was supposed to be heading home before gametime. Had Beckett not come down with the stiff neck, the roster move would have been made for a catcher, which still might happen tomorrow (with the Sox sending Pauley back down to Triple A). So with the two players who have offered to be the emergency catcher both on the disabled list (Alex Cora and Lowell), Francona was in a bind. Guess who offered? That's right. Dustin Pedroia. So, in a pinch, the second baseman will be heading behind the plate. I absolutely love Dustin, the Ultimate Dirt Dog!

Tek still has the flu, gotta be bad for him to be out again.

Great game. The Rookies all contributed in their own way. Bad game to lose Manny but the TEAM pulled it out, plus Texas has a crappy bullpen, just glad the Sox took advantage after leaving 33 runners on base...LOL!

I read in The Globe that he's nursing a sore hamstring.

I was surprisedd too the way he kicked our ass. But seems he's been in a slump and got piseed when he wasn't in the line up recently. Some one will pick him up. Best of luck to ya Big Hurt.

Cora to DL; Thurston up Posted by Amalie Benjamin, Globe Staff April 16, 2008 03:33 PM Alex Cora was placed on the 15-day disabled list today, retroactive to April 10 with a right elbow strain. Joe Thurston was called up from Pawtucket to take his spot.
