Video: When Josh Beckett Speaks, People Will Listen
2012-02-03 04:14:00 Given everything that happened at the end of the 2011 season for the Boston Red Sox, it shouldn't be really that much of a surprise that Josh Beckett didn't say anything. We all know his disdain for the media from the countless interviews he's given. But the reason Beckett didn't talk after the season isn't what everyone thinks, it turns out he was busy with his wife and new daughter. Beckett's silence ended on Thursday afternoon when he appeared on MLB Network's Intentional Talk with his good buddy Kevin Millar and Chris Rose. In the interview, he talks about new skipper Bobby Valentine's visit among many other topics. Follow Ian on Twitter @soxanddawgs. And be sure to like us on Facebook as well.

Is Josh Beckett Responsible For Francona's Departure From Red Sox?
2011-11-13 20:54:00 Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Josh Beckett hasn't been seen in good light so far during this offseason. He was seen as one of the ringleaders of Fried Chicken and Beergate 2011. And now, it appears that he may be one of the reason why Terry Francona decided not to come back as the manager of the Red Sox. Here's what Jon Heyman of SI.com has learned: People familiar with what went on in the Red Sox clubhouse say Francona tried to stem unrest among the players with a late team meeting but believe Francona may have erred by never confronting Josh Beckett one-on-one. Beckett was seen by other Red Sox players as among the more vocal detractors of Francona behind the scenes. Francona long was beloved in the clubhouse so this was a unusual situation for him. Now some people may not like Heyman but he is one of the more trusted writers out there and he's usually right. And given everything else we've heard coming out of the anonymous sources from the Red Sox and how they were ri...

Boston's Josh Beckett Once Again Returns To His 2007 Form...Red Sox 5 White
2008-08-12 11:41:00 What this 2008 Boston Red Sox team needs most is a "dependable every five days" ace. That man last year was Josh Beckett, both in the regular season and the successful postseason. And it looks like he's back, just in time for a stretch run. Yesterday, in the fourth and final game with the Chicago White Sox, Kevin Youkilis broke up the no-hit bid by Chicago's John Danks in the seventh inning with a broken bat single. At the time, the score was 1-0 Chicago and it was starting to look like Josh Beckett would again be bested by an opponent's superior starting pitching. But noooo...after a hit batsman, JD Drew put the Red Sox ahead with a double that plated two, and the Red sox took it to the Pale Hose from there. In all, Josh went eight strong, allowing that lone run on 7 hits and ZERO walks. He struck out 8 and threw a total of 104 pitches. In a word (three, actually), HE WAS SUPERB. Jonathon Papelbon made the victory official with a 12 pitch no run ninth. Here's what Boston manage...

Yanks wish they had an ace like Josh Beckett
2008-04-18 13:33:00 We will remember two more balls that Manny Ramirez hit out of old Yankee Stadium, and we will certainly remember the ball Kyle Farnsworth threw over Manny's head in the top of the seventh, maybe the beginning of everything we are going to see between the Red Sox and the Yankees over the rest of this season. This was all hardball between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees Thursday night, after a game Wednesday that looked like beer-league softball. So it was a kind of game Josh Beckett understands, perfectly. He was the real story of this game, as much a star as Manny, pitching the way ace pitchers are supposed to pitch. This is the kind of pitcher the Mets hope Johan Santana can be according to New York Daily News columnist Mike Mupica. The Yankees got him for three runs in the fifth Thursday night. Got nothing after that. Beckett retired the 10 batters he faced after that. The Yankees got Jonathan Papelbon for two in the ninth. Too late. Red Sox 7, Yankees 5. This was th...

Josh Beckett To Stay Stateside ***New Sox Blog Announcement***
2008-03-17 10:53:00 Good Monday morning, the cheeriest day of the week (NOT!). But what can we do? Every seven days, a Monday comes and goes...by now, I'm used to it. Happy St. Patrick's Day, lads and lassies. Notice that my blog has a basic color scheme of green. But it's like that 365 days a year (this year-366). I like to think of it as a Fenway Park type of color. All things Red Sox make for a very happy blog. Ok, OK, back to baseball. Josh Beckett's back is feeling 100%, and those are sweet words indeed. He will not be going to Japan. A 14 hour plane ride is not condusive to the health of any muscle in the body, especially those that are entwined through and throughout the spinal region. Here's what the man himself, as well as his manager, had to say after his Sunday outing. This is borrowed from the Boston Globe... "Everything's good," said Beckett, who had an icepack on his back. "I did everything I wanted to do."Francona, speaking from Bradenton, Fla., where the Red Sox dropped a 6-3 deci...

Josh Beckett Likely to Miss Opener
2008-03-12 16:52:00 It appears as though the Red Sox will be without Josh Beckett when they open the season in Japan. The oft-injured ace who racked up 20 wins last season has felt discomfort in his back, preventing him from pitching an exhibition game this spring. Beckett has broken the hearts of fantasy managers before, pitching more than 200 innings twice in his 7 year career, and never as many as 205 innings. Of...

Josh Beckett dinged up? Say it ain't so!
2008-03-08 17:41:00 Apparently Beckett didn't start as scheduled today due to back spasms. Now, it's not a blown elbow ligament or a tanning bed mishap, but if you were expecting Beckett to continue his recent run of healthiness, think again.This is just another example of why drafting pitchers in the first three or four rounds of a fantasy draft is sure to give you constant headaches.

Top 20 Pitchers From 2007 Cheat Sheet
2007-12-26 16:05:00 Pitchers are the hardest position to predict when it comes to Fantasy Baseball. BIGGER "Experts" then me have said it, and as you look back throughout history it's true. Those that like to argue though will say you have players like Johan Santana or Josh Beckett, but when you look back at last year, was Johan Santana really worth the #1 pick like some suggested? Pitchers to me are a dime a dozen, and can be had in the middle of the draft. Be patient on pitchers in your draft, you'll see plenty of them fall.
