And to make matters worse...
Jon Lester has been placed on the DL with a strain in his latissimus. With John Lackey pitching like he's throwing batting practice and Clay Buchholz already on the DL, the All-Star break cannot come soon enough. It's really unfortunate because Buchholz, Lester and Josh Beckett had formed an intimidating three-headed monster in the rotation. However, I think Boston is right to err on the side of caution. If they hope to make a run at a title they will need both of their ailing star pitchers. I guess we'll have to deal with the Kevin Millwood era for a couple of weeks.

I imagine you sitting very smugly at your computer writing latissimus without explanation and knowing exactly what it means.
Well played Sir.
I think that muscle like "Pecs" or "Quads" is one that most people know. Although, most people just refer to them as "Lats."
