I've Got Blisters on my Fingers!

Both Josh Beckett and Jeremy Bonderman will miss starts due to the skin on their fingers.

Beckett will throw a side session on Friday. If that goes well, it's conceivable he could be slotted back into the rotation during the early part of next week.

This is hardly the first time Beckett has had a finger issue. He had several blister problems during his years with the Florida Marlins.

As for Bonderman:

The Tigers will call up first-round draft pick Andrew Miller to make his first Major League start Friday night against the Cardinals at Comerica Park. Miller will take the place of Jeremy Bonderman, who will be placed on the 15-day disabled list with continued blister problems on his right middle finger. The blister is gone, but the cut that remains has not healed enough to allow him to throw without pain.

Bonderman felt the cut when he tried to throw off the mound Wednesday afternoon at Fenway Park. With just two days before his scheduled start, the Tigers decided to scratch him.

I believe you're making a Spinal Tap reference...in which case, Brilliant! You go to eleven!

Actually, it's the last line of Helter Skelter by the Beatles.

Of course, it's kind of a Tap-esque flourish on the Beatles' part.
