Sox Clinch- In Losing Fashion

The Sox lost another- but managed to clinch a playoff berth with a Texas loss. Boston's five game skid has been ugly to say the least, and the team may feel some backlash entering the post-season on cruise control. On a brighter note, for Red Sox Nation, Josh Beckett received three cortisone shots in his upper back. The ace of the Sox staff down-played any serious ailments but as any Sox fan can tell you- he hasn't had his best stuff as of late. Let's hope Beckett's playoff mettle is still in-tact.
