Yanks have no chance in this game. Beckett is in beast mode.

Using that picture should be banned as well

Eh i think the term "beast mode" is pretty lame, and that was before Lynch

That's an understatement.

Beckett gave this Sox team exactly what they needed. A long, incredible start to finally give the overworked bullpen some rest and to show the rest of the rotation (sans Lester) that you can go more than 2 innings without giving up a homerun.

I needed it badly to for my fantasy team, Beckett should hlep some with this performance

Re: 3/31 - 4/10 Game Discussion Thread

I'm thoroughly impressed with Beckett tonight considering how inconsistent and average he's been the past couple years. And to have this dominant of a performance against the Yankees gives me some hope he could have a bounce back season.

I guess Beckett thought it was 2003 today, eh?

That's about as long of an RBI double as you can get. Jesus.

Re: 3/31 - 4/10 Game Discussion Thread

Is it just me or is a sacrifice bunt in the 8th inning with a 4 run lead a little unusual? Especially having a speedster like Ellsbury on 2nd. What's the point of moving him up to 3rd?

When I realized where it was going, I was praying it hit the Jordan's Furniture sign and they had to pay for everyone's furniture again.

Give up the out so the next batter could've driven him in with a fly ball to the outfield. Any run counts these days, so might as well try a little small ball.

Yup. I think it's just surprising for people to see it in a game between these two...if the offense isn't struggling to score as much as it has been, then it probably doesn't happen.

Nice to see Beckett put the team on his back for a night. and while I don't subscribe as adamantly as ESPN that the guy calling the game is the key to everything, if Beckett (or anyone else on the staff) is more comfortable with Varitek out there, keep running him out. It's not like we're losing much offense by benching Salty...lol.

Only two hits for Yankees and the game took about 3hrs to complete!!
