a bunch of vaguely attractive stoners in white shoes

The Josh Beckett Seemingly Less and Less Random More and More Stone-Cold Bad-Ass Dave Matthews Band Lyric Pitching Performance Generator:

WLERAIPHERHRBBSO
5/2602.727.0060327Surprise, surprise, you pay for what you get

Also, forwarded to me from the Globe sports page, the Josh Beckett Post-Game Article Mad Libs:

Josh Beckett is a pitcher now, not just a thrower. Last year, he was [adjective, synonym for irratic]. But the Josh Beckett of 2007 is a [adjective] [noun, pref. synonym for wild animal]. His fastball is still [adjective, synonym for fast], but his curveball is [adjective, synonym for filthy] and [adjective, synonym for nasty]. He's a pitcher now, not just a thrower. He's [adjective, synonym for mature]. Says [teammate], "[Vague supportive statement]." Says manager Terry Francona, "[Vague, mumbled statement]." Says catcher Jason Varitek, "[Vague, menacing statement]." He's a pitcher now, not just a thrower. He's a pitcher now, not just a [noun, synonym for person who throws things hard but with no precision].

(When Katie and I were on the phone today talking about Josh Beckett, she asked me to point out that every single member of the Oakland A's looks vaguely stoned when they come up to bat. This is true. I confirmed, as a golden state ex-pat (Randomly -- go Warriors!) that it's "just a California thing.")

And, uh, that's it! No other baseball was played this week! What's that you say? There was a game on Tuesday? Ugh. Fine. I'm just saying, you know things are dire when I'm finding comfort in the wisdom of
Curt Schilling: Needless to say the game was a bummer. I’ll take Paps in that situation 30 more times this year and like our chances. Also, the whole thing was maybe 23% worth it to see Paps try to murder that water bottle in the dugout during the bottom of the ninth.

#1. My new bf is a pitcher, not just a thrower, yo!

#2. It was totally 67% worth it to see the look of "that guy is crazier than Tavarez" on Hinske's face when Pap tried to murder the cooler. I mean, he had to blow a save eventually, I may as well get some amusement out of it.

#3. Fuck, I'm going to be up all night watching that basketball game again.

i love that i'm not the only person having in-depth conversations at random moments about beckett. it's a weird kind of love-hate fixation.

Where the hell was Papelbon tonight? I understand the day off after the 35 pitch anomaly--but two days off? Romero in the 9th? It worked, and I'm happy giving Paps a couple days if he needs it, but...he's okay, right? Right? Please?

Re: Paps tonight, apparently he wanted to pitch but Tito wanted to rest him? I'm not crazy about Romero, but with Timlin on the DL (now pitching for the Styx River Dogs!) and Okie definitely DEFINITELY not available, I guess the gambler wanted to find out if he had a third pitcher he could trust. As far as wanting to rest him, I don't think Paps was ever the same last year after the save he blew against the White Sox, which was a similarly 35+ pitch inning, so maybe Tito just didn't want to take any chances.

OMG, they updated the pictures on yahoo! and I got my first look at Dan Haren of the A's "official" picture - DUDE. That's not so much vaguely stoned as sitting on the street begging incoherently in front of my building even during the rain.

Seriously, GO WARRIORS. Holy wow, I can't believe they did it.

By my calculations, it was only about 8% worth it to see Paps and the water bottle.
Hopefully, we'll see him pick up the save in tonight's win.
