A Conversation: Beckett, Schilling and Random Angels Fans
Josh Beckett and Curt Schilling weren’t around to witness the craziness on Friday night in Fenway– they’d flown ahead to Anaheim to avoid as much of the travel fatigue as possible. Curt talked a little on Saturday about watching the Manny homerun with Josh in Anaheim, and that got me thinking…
Scene: Hotel in Anaheim. Josh Beckett and Curt Schilling tumble out of a cab and burst through the front doors of the hotel.
Curt: Attention employees: we require the use of a television broadcasting the American League game this evening between the Red Sox and the Angels- obtain it for us immediately!
Josh: Where the fuck is the bar, hoss?
Bewildered concierge points to the hotel bar.
Curt: Move out of my way, young Beckett- I’ve got seniority.
Josh: points to his “I’m #1″ shirt, then points to Curt’s “I’m #3″ shirt.
Curt: Curses! Foiled again!
(runs after Josh into the bar, which is full of random Angels fans watching the game)
Curt: This is extremely important: what is the score of the game?!?! And bring me a glass of your finest Merlot!!!
Josh: has already slammed five jagerbombs, and is spitting dip juice into the empty shot glasses
(Manny hits the homerun on the TV screen)
Josh: FUCK YEAH! FUCK YEAH! TAKE THAT, BITCHES! (runs around the bar doing devil horns and hollering in the Angels fans’ faces)
Curt: Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! (does Manny airplane arms, running around behind Josh)
Random Angels Fan: Who are these guys?

Freakin’ awesome post! Totally could see Beckett doing. For all of the talk about him maturing on the mound this season, somehow, I don’t see that translating off the field.
One question: If Kelly from papelblog can get the game on XM on Jet Blue, what the hell flight were Curt and Josh taking such that they can’t get a game feed??
I hear ya, Jai. And wouldn’t you assume 38 Pitches owned a blackberry?
