St. Louis — Josh Beckett is not quite a grizzled veteran but the Boston Red Sox ace is four years older than Braves catcher Brian McCann, already a four-time All-Star at 25. That's why something that Beckett saw McCann do a few weeks ago against the Red Sox surprised him.

That’s right folks, you heard it here first: looks like the Braves won’t have home field advantage in the World Series this year.
The main flaw from last night’s All-Star game is that Brian McCann only got one at-bat. Let’s be honest: He’s way better than this Yadier Molina character. It’s just that, well, St. Louis [...]

My friend Dan sent me this picture of Josh Beckett, Commander Kick Ass, meeting one Barack Obama, Commander-in-Chief, before the All-Star Game at St. Louis last night.Makes me wonder what this exchange could have been. Maybe Beckett's opinion on the stimulus package, his choice of Sonya Sotomayor for the Supreme Court, or the closing of the prison at Guantanamo Bay? Or maybe Obama...

Since Josh Beckett graced Fenway’s mound, he has been the Boston Red Sox undeniable ace. During the 2005 off season, Beckett, then 25 and fresh off a 15-8 season with the Florida Marlins, was traded to the Red Sox for top-prospect and current Marlins star shortstop Hanley Ramirez.
I didn’t know much about Ramirez, but he was heralded as a five-tool player near major...
