Red Sox 7, Angels 6: Doing it without an Ace…

After being felled (hopefully its just the flu–and not something worse) by the same flu that is running its way through the Red Sox Clubhouse, Josh Beckett was a scratch from his start last night, so the Sox called up Dave Pauley for an emergency spot start–and while he didn't get enough innings ...

Is Fenway really a hitter's park?

One of the concerns that some Sox fans have about Josh Beckett is the fact that he's going from a pitcher's park to a hitter's park. Sure enough, in 2005 Beckett posted a 2.47 ERA in Florida while putting up a 4.31 ERA on the road. Over the course of the last 3 years he's had a 2.87 ERA at home with ...

Josh Is Teaching The Next Generation

Josh Beckett won't let something like "guts-twisting flu" keep him from passing on his wisdom to the impressionable youth of America. In this case, the kids of the Children's Hospital Pediatric Oncology Department were the beneficiary of his giggles (seriously, he giggled- t...

Playoff Hangover

Between the elation of Friday night's game and the despair of last night, I'm beat. Just as nothing could go wrong for Boston in the ALCS opener, nothing could go right in the second game.There's not much more one can say about Josh Beckett without sounding tedious. He stifled the Cleveland offense a...

Hope of Deliverance

"As crazy as that game was early, we could have faded and just fallen asleep and faded out, being down two runs. But we didn't."-Jason VaritekThat's called putting on a brave face.Especially after Cy Young candidate Josh Beckett got smacked around for 10 hits and 5 runs last night, dropping his ERA ...

Manny and Beckett Save the Day

That was an annoying as fuck game. The Red Sox won by the score of 4-3 thanks to a HR and a 2-run double by Manny Ramirez and solid pitching from Josh Beckett. However, the 2 hour and 12 minute wait between Papelbon facing A-Rod(which included two warm ups before tarp was put on) was really annoying ...

SI ON THE PIRATES: "64-98"

Sports Illustrated came out with their 2009 MLB predictions yesterday, and if you're a Pirate fan, you might want to cover your ears. Why? Because they're guessing your Buccos will finish a league-worst 64-98 while setting the record for consecutive losing seasons. Which means we'll have some history to look forward to in 2009 at the very least.The author of their Pirate...
