Forgive me if I don’t la-dee-da yesterday’s news about Eduardo Nunez’ knee injury.
Not, heaven forbid, to be Debbie Downer, but a sprain of any ligament in any knee of the true sparkplug of the team, the real difference-maker, the actual savior for the Red Sox lineup when the playoffs are just three weeks away is a big deal.
Nunez came out to the Red Sox dugout a bit before last night’s game and walked with a slight but noticeable limp each time he placed weight on his right leg. This was three days after he messed up the knee with a hard slide into second base.
