Think the Red Sox are a little ticked off at David Wells?

Wells went on the DL a couple of days ago to have some lubricant injections in his surgically repaired knee. He had one ineffective start in Pawtucket and one against Toronto before going down.

The Sox have got to be wondering if he was upfront with them about the condition of his knee during Spring Training. Was he giving them the whole story, or was he trying to protect his paycheck? Wells has a relatively low base salary, but he gets $200,000 for his 11th through 20th start and $300,000 for starts 21-30.

I really have to wonder if the Sox would have kept Bronson Arroyo if they had thought Wells would be on the DL two weeks into the season.

Not that the Sox really missed him today. Lenny DiNardo pitched a nice five innings, giving up only two runs. Mark Loretta finished the game with a two-run, walk-off homer off Seattle's Eddie Guardado.

I just watched Pedro win his 200th game with the Mets over the Braves on ESPN. I have to admit, I still have a soft spot for Pedro. He was so much fun to watch with the Red Sox, and for a period of time he was as good as any pitcher ever to take the mound.
