Watch out, Josh!



Josh!  No!!  Watch out!!

There's not a chance you watched this play live last night during the game and didn't shout something in a panicked tone.  Impossible not to.  That rope was going straight for Beckett's head.  That doesn't result in the type of injury that sidelines a guy for a start or two.  That's a career-ender potentially.  That's scary.  Thank God he had good reflexes.  I wouldn't peg Josh as the quick-moving type normally.  Yes, he can throw 95 mph and withstand the pressure of World Series pitching.  But let's be honest, he's no Jacoby Ellsbury when it comes to moving fast.  Nonetheless, I'm glad that Beckett surprised me last night.  On my personal list of Favorite Josh Beckett Moments, this has to rank below Joshie hitting a home run against the Phillies a couple years back.
