ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Clay Buchholzs next start for the Boston Red Sox will be pushed back by at least two days. Buchholz, 9-0 with a big league-best 1.71 ERA, left Saturdays game against the Los Angeles Angels with what the team called "neck tightness." Red Sox manager John Farrell said Buchholz could resume throwing on Wednesday and have a bullpen session Friday, which was the day of his next scheduled start. If all goes well, Buchholz might pitch Sunday. "Thats the best-case scenario at this point," Farrell said before Tuesday nights game at Tampa Bay. "If he does get off the mound with no issues, he will definitely be a candidate for Sunday. He continues to improve. Well likely put a ball in his hand tomorrow to see how he feels with the hopeful intent that he would throw off the mound on Friday." Ryan Dempster will start Fridays game at Baltimore. Boston plans to recall Alfredo Aceves from Triple-A Pawtucket to start Wednesday nights game with the Rays. Frankiln Morales, who was scheduled to start that game, got the win pitching two scoreless innings out of the bullpen in Monday nights 10-8, 14-inning win over Tampa Bay. Boston placed reliever Clayton Mortensen on the 15-day disabled list and recalled right-hander Jose De La Torre from Pawtucket. "Clayton has been dealing with a groin and hip issue since weve left spring training, and as much as we wanted to get him through multiple innings last night, he couldnt go after the one inning of work, so thats the move to get De La Torre here," Farrell said.

John Inverarity has bowled me a doosra today with his comments about the doosra and integrity. Im genuinely not sure which way to play this one.That he is a gentleman and a scholar there can be no doubt. His reputation as man of decency and integrity allows him the privilege of making a comment such as this with some immunity from anyone looking to take cheap shots at him. From that perspective, reading his words carefully, I can draw no hint of mischief or hypocrisy in his brave statement. Perhaps a long bow could be drawn to infer that he is pointing fingers at some bowlers but I genuinely think that to do so would be to do the gentleman an injustice. Clearly he believes that the doosra has the potential to corrupt bowling actions and he would prefer to see the Australian bowling contingent shy away from that technique. Fair enough too if that is his genuine belief.On the other hand, I also believe that it may be a bit na?ve on the part of Australian cricket, if Inverarity is speaking on behalf of the institution rather than as an individual, to encourage a policy that is clearly going to disadvantage Australia to this extent. Put simply, the doosra is arguably the most potent bowling weapon in modern cricket. Especially in limited overs cricket, it is probably the single most influential factor in giving bowling teams a sniff of hope. The fast bowlers have proved woefully inadequate in coming up with anything new to stem the flow of boundaries. In fact, their skill level has actually dropped some considerable level, evidenced by the steady diet of full tosses that are served up at least once an over when under pressure. So the doosra and the variations that followed (carrom ball) can lay claim to being the most influential game-changer. When a bowler with a good doosra comes on to bowl, I immediately sit up and take notice because there is always the chance that a game can be turned on its head. Since Shane Warne led the new spin revolution, nothing has excited me more in the bowling stakes than the perfection of the various types of doosra.That is why I am slightly flummoxed by Inveraritys stance on it. Whilst not necessarily agreeing with his inference that it may lead to illegal actions, I respect his integrity enough to accept his point in the spirit it was intended. However, to encourage Australian spinners to not learn the art form is possibly putting principle before pragmatism. That in itself is admirable if it were applied universally but no country, least of all Australia, has ever applied this morality on a whole of cricket basis so what makes the doosra so special? Is Inverarity suggesting that Austrralian cricket should now make decisions on the basis of integrity or is the doosra singled out as the one issue where we apply the Integrity Test? If so, is it any coincidence that we dont really have anyone who can bowl the doosra with any great proficiency and will that change on the day we discover our own Doosra Doctor?All countries have their own inconsistencies to be ashamed of so Im not suggesting that Australia is alone in this regard.dddddddddddd Far from it. Living in Australia, I just get to see a lot more of the local cricketing news so Im better qualified to make comment on Australian examples. A few examples spring to mind….lets think back to the times when we prepared turning tracks in the 1980s to beat the West Indies. A fair enough tactic too so long as theres no complaints if other teams prepare pitches to suit their strengths. Similarly, I recall a period during the late 1990s when Australian teams insisted on having their fielders word accepted when a low catch had been taken. That theory worked OK until Andy Bichel claimed a caught and bowled off Michael Vaughan in the 2002/03 Ashes series when replays showed it had clearly bounced in front of him. I know Bich quite well and he is as honest as they come so it was genuinely a case of him thinking it had carried when in fact it hadnt. Around that same period, Justin Langer refused to walk when caught by Brian Lara at slip, despite the Australian mantra that a fielders word was his bond. They come no more honourable than Lara in this regard so what happened to the principle? Like all matters of convenience, it is admirable but rarely works when it becomes an inconvenient truth.And that is the source of my confusion with linking the doosra to the question of integrity. Im not convinced that the integrity issue will stand the test of time if Australia accidentally discovers a home-grown exponent of this delivery. Likewise the issue of the switch-hit. Now that Dave Warner plays it as well as anyone, are we opposed to this too on integrity grounds? If Warner hadnt mastered the shot, would that too be something that we would not encourage because it perhaps bent the spirit of cricket?Only time will tell whether Inveraritys wisdom and guidance will be mirrored by those in the organisation with perhaps less integrity and more pragmatism in their veins. I suspect it will take more than one decent man to stop an irresistible force. His motives may be pure indeed but I suspect that this is one issue that will turn the other way! ' ' '
