*Picture from the Boston Globe*I was going to post after the gut busting loss last night, but with this freaking insomnia I'm fighting, I was just too wiped out to try. Glad I didn't now. It would have been all gloomy and mopey and I most likely would have said something idiotic like "why not make Okajima our closer now".
Today is MUCH better: got a little sleep (if you call 2 1/2 hours straight a little sleep) and woke up this morning to this realization: Beckett is on the hill tonight.
Suddenly, the Pap blown save, the ground out by Coco in the bottom of the ninth with men on 2nd and 3rd, and Papi, Manny, and Youk going down 1-2-3 in the bottom of the 10th was all forgotten.
Instead I remembered that flat out wicked catch Crisp made to rob Todd Walker, the 3 run first inning, and Oki making the A's look STUPID in his inning of work.
Beckett can do that for me: I have loved watching him since he came in with the Marlins, and getting to see him stomp, spit, and curse his way through 7 innings every 5 days is one of my greatest baseball joys.
So sack up and be the horse we need you to be Beckett: be the stopper and keep the losing streak at one.
It'd be REAL nice to see Beckett be 6-0 tomorrow morning.

Uncle Ted this is Garrison. Hey i went to the redhawksv game today, and i got a pack of 14 signed redsocks players of 2007 cards!!!
Very nice Garrison: and why weren't you in school?
Rip, have you looked at Shills blog with his response to Gary T's Sock Gate. He says some pretty good things!
G Man got on here and was reading some of Kaylees tips for success so he played hooky today. No his class got to go on a field trip to the game.
I did Scotty: I didn't know if I'd told you about his blog. It's nice getting it straight from the players mouth instead of the press view.
We NEVER went on field trips like that: that sounds much better than the planetarium.
ok my Texas boy Josh is on the mound ready to blast away the A's...come ON Beckett!!
Hey Tex: you having a better day?
And through 2 Beckett looks strong.
You are right. I remember our fieldtrips were going to Chester the molesters petting zoo or something like that!
Bub:

Hey I see Kaylee got out on good behavior. Don't worry Ted she will be back in the pokie before long!
Please tell me this is not going to be a repeat of last night.
Where is tree newt?
Bub, top of the ninth, 6-3 Sox. No outs, 1 on, Timlin on the hill.
Tex, that sounds wicked bad.
Timlin just struck out Putnam: 1 out, same situation.
Coco Crisp just made a unbelievable catch for the 2nd night in a row, just diving out and grabbing it.
Unreal.
//Hey I see Kaylee got out on good behavior.//
WHAT? if you call good behavior going on anyway then yes.
Sox win 6-4!
WHOOOOOT!
thank god now I can go do some homework and sleep!
No thats how I know you will be back in the pokey.
i aint arguing that scott because I guarentee you will back there tomorrow.
well I bet all the fare weather fans will stop by now. Not naming any names.
hey scott we aint bad..there is nothing wrong with us fare weather fans.
what would your mom pay to turn you into a model teenager?
//what would your mom pay to turn you into a model teenager?//
are you implying I aint a good example to other teenagers?
My mind is tired.
Beckett is 6-0. Yep, 6-0.
Not gonna say I told you so, but..
I TOLD YOU SO.
KEEP RUBBING it in my face ted!
No, Kaylee I bet you are really a model student with straight A's. Keeps her room clean and is never late. You just like to jerk our chain!
NO,that is definately not me.
okay I AM OFF FOR THE NIGHT.
Tex, don't send your weather my way!
Storm is really bad...wrecks must be happening cos im hearing sirens all over
That might be the take cover sirens.
the storm came from up north Scott..dallas got it
If you were referring to me as a fairweather fan, I resemble that remark!
Didn't get in from church until 10:00, and then spent the next 4 hours trying to get Rusty to quit barking at the full moon. I'm scared to go outside this morning, afraid the neighbors are going to hang me.
Beckett is the man. Go Sox!
Good for Beckett! Glad the Sox won, and Ted, I hope you slept like a baby. :)
Jared's team played their first game last night and lost by 1 run. He pitched some and played 3rd. As Ted knows, he has found the passion of his life - BASEBALL! Win or lose, he has fun. He even loves practice!
You got your wish Ted!
Yes I did Carol, yes I did.
