The Red Sox’ Clay Buchholz, who was originally reported to have hyperextended his knee, has been diagnosed with a minor lower hamstring
tear. He’s still confident that he’ll make his next start, but that doesn’t seem bloody likely, now, does it? I mean, sure, I’m not a doctor, but “torn hamstring” sounds simply icky, no?
Now, come over here and let me look at the lump on your neck. I’m sure I can tell you what it is . . .

A pulled or strained hamstring is a hamstring tear, too. I assume its a mild strain.
If they’d have said Buchholz has a “pulled hammy,” I assume you’d have a different opinion. But, it would be nonetheless a “tear” just as much.

Even with a pulled hammy, it’s pretty difficult to pitch effectively. Hell, do anything that requires full extension of the hamstring.
