Those of us in
The Nation who gasped in horror at
Dustin Pedroia sliding into first base on Monday will be happy to hear the news from manager
John Farrell. Appearing on
WEEI 93.7 FM radio,
Farrell said The Muddy Chicken's hand/thumb area has been examined by doctors and he has been cleared to play tonight against the Evil Ones. The ill-advised dive—
when the game was 8-2 in the ninth inning—appeared to reveal the second baseman wincing in pain as the jammed his left thumb into the bag. One cautionary note from the manager is his "hope" that this will just be a "bump" for
The Laser Show. Stay tuned and hold your breath.
