Red Sox Dad: You Can Take A Horse To Water But You Can't Make Him Drink

You Can Take A Horse To Water But You Can't Make Him Drink

I got the feeling watching this clip that Beckett would have rather walked over a burning football field filled with broken glass than sat there and answered some of the most inane questions this side of your average Al Roker interview.

What stands out even more than that?

He actually went 9 minutes and 52 seconds without dropping the F-bomb on some idiot reporter.

Why did I just link another video from the Globe tonight instead of trying to post something new? Without going into too much detail (I'm not sure my head could take much more) I'll give you a brief transcript of what happened about 6:30 tonight.

I'm in the living room, Ang is in the kitchen, and the boys are in the toy room; I should have known something was up. It was entirely too quiet.

Rakes: "Mom! Trot has got a really bad poopy, it's all over the floor, and he's got his hands in it. And will you please turn the tv back on now, buddy?"

I'm pretty sure I blacked out for the next 15 minutes or so.

Tex said...: i dunno...the hand rubbing the forehead hid his rolling of the eyes, vague answers to stupid questions, he said PIE!!, was that a scratching of the upper butt?, halfass attempt to flip the bird while scratching behind the ear, pursing his lips showed some restraint, who's the chewinggum guy who scooted in behind him..oh good he moved, i love how he asks them questions...again the flipping the bird by rubbing the forehead, he's getting really tired of the mundane repetitive questions cos there goes the forehead rubbing again and scratching the ear, seriously chewinggum guy is pissing me off, oh ok NOW chewinggum guy asks some dumbass Q, anyway....

I see he is getting better and toleration of the media...but don't think for a moment he isn't under his breath uttering obscenities; February 16, 2009 at 4:44 PM
Ted D said...: Classic Beckett, right Tex? I love how you can tell he is just completely annoyed at the whole process but just holds it all in.

Something tells me that if this was July it wouldn't have exactly gone the same. I heard The Commander.; February 16, 2009 at 5:12 PM
