Jacoby Ellsbury may have been the Men’s Vogue model for March, but Josh Beckett just couldn’t let that go unanswered… he’ll be the cover boy for the April issue of Men’s Fitness. That’s right, he will kick your ass on the field and then he will take over your local newsstand!
The feature on Josh centers on his offseason and conditioning regimen. From the article:
As for the cardio workout, it mostly helps him with recovering from a pitch.Each throwing motion requires three seconds of intense effort, followed by 12 seconds of recovery time, he said. Who knew?
“We try to train my body to recover during those 12 seconds,” said the Sox fastball biggie… “I try to throw the damn thing as hard as I can.”
So much for that “belly“, huh?
HAH! I JUST posted in your last post a link to teh picture of that cover….should’ve known you would’ve been on this already. :P
Oh and his eyes look a little weird on that cover….
I am on the cutting edge of random Josh Beckett news tidbits!
Also, his eyes look like that because they’re STARING A HOLE IN YOUR SOUL.
That’s definitely not the best pic of seen of him…but yay for Josh! And I’m glad the Inside Track women had to report it hehe. Take that!
Even as a Yankees fan (don’t throw anything, I’m friendly…..I swear), I must admit the boy is beyond the defintion of “hot”. I will be buying this. *grins*
Beth – no worries. I am actually quite chuffed to have a Yankees fan around… especially one who appreciates The Ace. We need a Yanks voice around here to balance us out!
What’s not to appreciate? Yeah he pitches for the other side, but I can always appreciate talent, no matter the uniform it wears. Some of my favorite ballplayers aren’t even Yankees, or weren’t Yankees when they were playing.
He’s hot, he has a sense of humor (rather acerbic), he takes no crap from anyone and his press conferences are the funniest stuff I’ve watched short of a Python sketch. I wish some our guys were as animated in interviews. God love Derek, but the boy could use a personality.
One word…YUM…even with the strange eye thing going on.
Oh to spend my winter working on ‘12 seconds of recovery time.’

YAY another magazine for me to lovingly restock at work! I hope some sort of awesome dialog went down between Mr Ellsbury and Mr Beckett:
Jacoby: WOW, you’ve on a magazine! Just like me!
Josh: I prefer to think of it as *you* were also in a magazine, just like *me* Also, I AM ON THE COVER.
Jacoby: Yes, sir. You are, sir.
Josh: And it is a manly magazine! About fitness! Not clothes!
Jacoby: Of course, sir.
Josh: So I’m still better than you.
Jacoby: Yes, sir!
Oh boy! Yummy cover boy goodness!
I must also out myself as a Yankees fan. However I have numerous friends who are Sox fans so I almost follow them by proxy as a result.
And can we hope for a scantily clad Ace somewhere in those pages? A cover is all well and good, but more flesh is needed.
why does his face look so weird in that picture???
bad amateur photoshop job, men’s fitness.
Two Yankees fans! They’re coming out of the woodwork! I’m glad.
not to be outdone by jacoby….
and yes, Trish, I can’t wait to see what other pics were taken cuz jacoby’s were pretty fine!
Yeah, but Jacoby’s were for Vogue. I don’t think MF goes for the eye candy and, alas, Josh is not known for his sportage of tight/revealing clothing, damn him. Well, except for shorts and those calves …
I still can’t get over that photo – its not him, it’s the wax figure of him.
Jacoby’s pics in Mens Vogue were way better – even if Mens Vogue is not the manliest of magazines. when he starts modeling for cologne – or comes out with HIS OWN COLOGNE LINE (I’m looking at YOU, DJ!) – I think that would be cause for concern.
that said, I think, like the journals, it would be interesting to speculate on what each of their colognes would smell like…or is that too weird?
also, Josh is the guy you have a fun, hardcore one-night stand with. he gives you an “I can barely wal” morning. Jacoby wants to please you first, he likes to cuddle after, and in the morning he takes you to breakfast. and then calls later in the day, just to see how you’re doing.
um, NO, I haven’t imagined that over and over again in my head every time he comes up to bat…and YES I’m creeping everyone out. I’ll show myself out now….
and yes, I also imagine Clay Buckholz as the innocent virgin farmboy who doesn’t know where to put his hands, needs some “coaching”, and thanks you over and over again afterward.
ok, that is it for Red Sox porn. carry on…
hahahahaha Lyndsay! I don’t know if laughed harder at that or the video….well probably the video but that was a very close second! And who’s DJ? I was thinking of Tom Brady for sure but don’t even get me started on him
I also would imagine Tek to be very technical in bed. Like, he would have to consult his stats at some point for the likelihood of your orgasm in any given situation, and then have a conference with his penis first.
Rachel:
That’s it–we need a Red Sox porn thread.
o wow I’m smart hahaha
