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, Boston Red Sox wait out the rain to beat New York Yankees 4-3
2008-04-13 03:04:00 Manny Ramirez homered and added a two-run double to give the Red Sox the lead, and Josh Beckett rebounded from a bad season debut to lead Boston to a 4-3 victory over the New York Yankees on Saturday. A day after Chien-Ming Wang pitched a two-hitter to beat Boston in the series opener, Beckett (1-1) ...

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.

Josh Beckett. Right Now, The Best There Is!
2007-11-04 12:14:00 I've talked to some of my neighbors, who comprise a 50-50 mix of Sox fans and Yankee fans. It's the opinion of the New York fans that matter most to me right now for this Sunday morning, eastern STANDARD time post. Yes, that's right, we DID get an extra hour of sleep last night, but the only thing I accomplished was waking up an hour earlier than normal, and I was unable to go back to sleep. So I got out of bed, took a shower, had breakfast and began writing this post to you. Oh, where was I? Josh Beckett! Got it. Almost every one of the Yankee fan neighbors I talked to, actually it was more like a quiz, to be more precise, answered this when I asked them their opinion of the Red Sox starting pitching staff, in the World Series and the ALCS. It was unanimous....they all thought that the best pitcher around right now, National and/or American League, is none other than Josh Beckett. Mind you, this is from Yankee fans only. WE all know it to be true, but to hear it from pinstriped ...

Sox Rock Rox in Game One: 13-1 [Addison Quale]
2007-10-25 07:19:00 Are you getting tired of all these annoying alliterative titles playing around with the Red Sox and Rockies? Not me. Anyway, the Sox absolutely butchered the Rockies last night at Fenway. Do they have some sort of mystique and aura of their own now? Are they truly the new Yankees? Perhaps. But then again, didn't we just learn in the ALCS that winning game 1 handedly doesn't mean the series is over? Let's all remember that the you're only as good as your last game and that momentum lasts one game too. The Rockies are still a very good ball club and we've probably not seen the last of them.As for managerial decisions, why in the world did Beckett pitch the 7th up 12 runs? That was absurd. The Sox could have had Beckett on short rest in game 4 and save him for a game 7 if possible. Furthermore, why bring in Timlin, your third best reliever in the 8th? As the Brazilian commentators said in the 2004 ALCS as I watched the games from Minas Gerais, "He was like a paralytic mummy out th...

Red Sox Force Game 6 [Allen Chace]
2007-10-19 14:54:00 This comes from guest blogger Allen Chace, of Over the Monster:Absolutely superb. Josh Beckett clearly feels his WS MVP trophy is a little lonely on the mantle. After a dicey 1st in which he escaped partly due to a non-RBI DP off the bat of Travis Hafner, Becks gave a clinic on pitching, being efficient while also striking out hitters, and almost got an opportunity to teach Kenny Lofton some humility in the process. The offense finally looked like the offense all season long. Working counts and generally wearing out C.C. Sabathia with a number of great ABs and getting 14 baserunners against him over 6+ innings. Indians setup man Rafael Betancourt was good in following Sabathia, only allowing one inherited runner to score on a SF. Those that followed were not so effective, with Rafael Perez allowing 3 runs (1 earned) and Tom Mastny allowing all 3 runners he inherited to score during the Sox's 3-run 8th inning. The ALCS swings back to Boston with Curt Schilling on the hill in anothe...
