Beckett, Lowell returning to Sox
The Red Sox are healing just in time for a September stretch run in which they face American League East leader Tampa Bay six times and the spoiler Blue Jays seven times. Both Josh Beckett and Mike Lowell, the principal pieces in the 2006 deal with the Marlins for Hanley Ramirez, and two players who had huge roles in last year's World Series championship, will return during the weekend series in Arlington, Texas, against the Rangers. Beckett worked a 58-pitch bullpen session yesterday in which, according to manager Terry Francona, he threw all of his pitches and had good velocity. Francona indicated that Beckett will be on a short leash when he pitches Friday, perhaps five innings or so. The Sox don't believe he needs a rehab outing, so they will build up his endurance with the parent team.

This si when the Red Sox have to keep the pace up and try to take over AL East. With Dustin Pedroia playing great and with a health Josh Beckett & Mike Lowell it time to make a push in September.

It would seem you need the Yankees help to take the division, let's see if The Sox can beat the Rays a couple games.

Anyone notice how well they did without them. Imagine what any other teams fans would do if they added two world series MVP's to their roster. They will catch Tampa.
