What are Beckett's "health" questions?

[TomA...@netscape.com]

The only thing I remember - granted I haven't really been paying much
attention - are blisters.

I always thought Beckett had "Future Yankee" written all over him.

He's had some shoulder issues to contend with in the past, as well.

Nothing serious.

Might still happened. He is a FA after 2 year. And if our good buddy (Curt the
camera whore) has anything to say, his mouth will send Beckett out of town.

Actually blisters are quite serious for a pitcher, as they tend to
reoccur and can't really be cured. In Beckett's case they prevent him
from throwing his curveball, essentially making him a one-pitch
pitcher. Like Roger Clemens' notoriously barking groin, this is
somehting that could dog Beckett over a stretch of several starts and
severely limit his effectiveness.

Beckett has a history of blisters. However, the problem has gotten
progressively better over the past few years, leading to speculation
that his skin is acclamating itself. Also, Jack McKeon -- who spent
1/2 hour gushing over the guy on the Boston sports radio -- says that
there is a suspicion among the Marlins doctors that part of the problem
might be the constant humidity in Miami. There were fears of a
shoulder problem, but it turned out that James Andrews said it was mild
tendonitis, nothing more.

He has not had any kind of major surgery, that I can recall, which is what I
meant be serious.

Save the scouting reports. We know you think Jose Lima is very good.

Nolan Ryan had blister problems late in his career. He used to soak his
fingers in pickle juice.

Dunno if I have heard of one pitcher who had his career ruined by blisters -
of course, it could be because the careers that get ruined by blisters are
careers that never get to the big leagues in the first place :)

Beckett will likely overcome the blisters somehow, and I think that is the
least of his concerns.

Get over it, Vinnie, will you please? It's not healthy the way you
obsess over me.

I liked you better when you used to make fun of gay people and insult
women. Now you're just creepy and stalkerish.

Believe me, I am not obsessing over you. I am just educating new people on this
group, that you are a complete and stupid asshole.

I likes you better when you weren't here.

You might want to look up the definintion of those words, imbecile. Posting
replies on this NG doesn't qualify for either.
