Yes- let’s blame it on the rainout, shall we?

And to be honest, I think Josh was kind of astonished at what happened in the first inning. It’s like even he couldn’t believe what he was seeing, and couldn’t understand why his limbs weren’t functioning the way they should do. Neither could any of the Red Sox fans in the stands. Or Coach Farrell. Or Tek. Or the dugout.

what i found truly the piece de resistance with the beckett thing was not the screamed curses (as noted above, seemingly par for the course at this point) but rather the moment *directly* afterwards when he was back to glassy-eyed spitting, gum-chewing and toweling himself off on the bench like nothing ever happened.

but seriously. that first inning–it’s like he forgot how his arms and legs were supposed to work for a minute. i, of course, blame it on the rainout, because it threw him off his routine.

When I saw this I was like, “There he is. My crazy baby’s back!” I was actually watching the Gamecast on ESPN.com because I was at work. I kept getting more and more annoyed with each ball. I wanted to scream “Throw a strike!”

So very true. He is a demon at times.

Also, I find it hilarious that during his tirade, no one even reacts. Pedroia, Cash, Manny & Coco all just keep on keepin’ on- like, this must happen so often, nobody even notices anymore.

Josh Beckett looks like a man possessed in the dugout while he’s screaming.

I am sure you didn’t expect to go to a spring training game during the middle of summer either.

I was sitting so close, and there were so few people in the park, I’m actually kind of disappointed I wasn’t able to hear the obscenities from my seat.

I was going to say didn’t that happen in front of you.
