Josh Beckett says he is healthy and that location was the only problem last night. This is going to give the Red Sox a dilema for Game 6; do you start him after his last two awful performances, or do you go with Byrd. If Beckett does get the start he has to have a Buchholz type leash from Francona. I think Beckett had only 2 swinging Ks in last night's game. Fenway West- The Western...

1. What's wrong with Josh Beckett? That was the most important question to come out of the epic, if often unsightly, ALDS Game 2. The Red Sox insist he is healthy.
