That she sang the National Anthem as well was nice, too! HE is the Rock of the Mound... By the way- Beckett thanked the Indians for flying in a friend of his to watch the game for free!

Oh yea, that was just some big lie, but hey whatever gets you through the night. I must admit Manny is growing on me. At first glance he acts like an idiot and you worry about his committment to "Team", but he mashes, plays hard and is not affected by pressure. Many players would gave crumbled after getting criticized like he did the other day. Many players but not Manram; he goes out and takes extra BP, plays just as hard and contributes to his teams win. Another point - by being the focal point of the team he takes pressure off of the other players. The media wants to hear from Manny and watches what he does which allows the others to just play. Finally I respect his honesty. Let me let you in on a little secret, Manny's right, if the Sox don't win the World Series it is not the end of the world and the sun will come up tomorrow.

We could use a little help from the bottem of the lineup, however...

Nothing but respect for beckett, but for the rest of the team, maybe you should win when he's not pitching!!!!

He's useless white noise, and how dare you pair us up!! Beckett's deuce is undoubtedly what makes him great. The 12-6 vertical drop and his ability to consistently throw it for strikes ... set off, of course, against his great fastball ... distinguish him from the rest. He IS what Mark Prior and Kerry Wood were supposed to be. He IS as good as Clemens and Big Unit were in their prime. He WILL BE the reason the Saux win it all ... IF they can manage to cover up for Schilling & Dice-K this weekend. Wally Two comments:

The 12-6 vertical drop and his ability to consistently throw it for strikes … set off, of course, against his great fastball … distinguish him from the rest.
