The hilarious part is that Terry Francona is calling the visit precautionary. Anyone that knows anything about sports injuries knows that it’s never good when you hear “Dr. James Andrews.”

Josh Beckett is visiting Andrews to check out his ailing right elbow.

“I think the best word I can use is we’re just trying to get some closure,” Francona said. “We never want to send anyone out there that’s not 100 percent. We’re no more pessimistic about him today than we were, but when he goes out there [again] we want him to be able to pitch with peace of mind.”

This is bad news for Red Sox fans. Unless you hate Josh Beckett and want to see him injured. If that’s the case, this is great news.
