08:14 AM ET 08.08 | Josh Beckett said Tuesday that the back spasm to blame for his leaving a July 31 start early and miss his next start was the product of a combination of factors. "We traveled late in from New York (the night before) and I didn't sleep particularly well, had a lot of anxiety and stress things going on, exterior distractions," Beckett told WAAF. ... Beckett said the anxiety was caused, at least in part, by the trade rumors that surrounded him at the time. There were reports that the Red Sox were trying to trade him before the July 31 deadline. "I think just this past week was different for me. There were rumors, apparently not being brought up by the Red Sox," Beckett said. "I was hearing from everybody that none of this was true."

Sharks are near my neck of the sandbar.
Been trying to get our esteemed state legislators to put on wet suits and swim with the seals. I promised a cook out at my house after the swim.
