Loved the videos. I previously e-mailed you about the Big Papi video when he was behind Terry Francona – loved that one. And Manny’s catch, of course. I second that it was so cute when they all leaned in to see the replay (hint hint…Jacoby Ellsbury…now he was just adorable). Josh Beckett on the other hand, he seems like such an ass sometimes. Jeez – this guy needs a vacation. I’d pay money just to see him crack a joke or laugh at something. Gawd.

Thanks for posting all this! Kudos!

I honestly feel bad for the reporters who talk to beckett, he can be so mean. even when he is asked good questions-he wants to be difficult
don’t get me wrong, sometimes they ask some stupid questions, but there’s only so many questions you can ask someone after a game, so you’re bound to get repetitive.

What they didnt show in the Papi clip was him screaming at the umpire from the dugout right before the clip they show of him. i dont think it was just he didnt know he was ejected like they said he was pretty pissed down there about 30 seconds before they cut back to the live feed. I think i made it in the clip though, right when hes walking into the dugout in the upper left theres a guy in an away red sox jersey which is right about where i was sitting, cant see the face to make sure its me but i dont remember anyone else around me with one on.

Yay, awesome videos! Thanks so much, Texy. :)

“You execute pitches, you get outs. You don’t execute pitches, you don’t get outs. It’s pretty simple.”
“Same question he just asked.”
“There was a lot of unexecuted pitches tonight.”

Josh’s angry post-game reactions are always so magnificent.

Even without the f-bombs that’s a pretty classic Josh post-crappy-game press conference. Getting in “executing pitches” twice in thirty seconds, the uncomfortable silence after “same question he just asked me” … and did I see an eye roll? I do believe I did.

Yeah, hug and a beer, he needs one. Or seven.

JB will be fine next game but agree he needs to improve his vocab.

Thanks for posting this, couldn’t find it at NESN this time.

That game was madness. And for as much as I enjoy continued press conferrence examples of Beckett’s badassness, I do feel bad that this time it comes at his own expense. Someone hug him, hand him a 40, tell him it’s only May, and bring in the birthday themed dancing ladies wearing antlers and lace. Homeboy needs to perk up.

And as for Papi? Ouch. Owwwwwwww. That was just gross. So that was a legit check swing? Like, honestly? I think they need to redefine such an event. The bat didn’t even leave his shoulder! It was clear he was moving out of the way. Garbage.

Now on to the happy Manny clip. It almost makes me forget the Payton slam that Oki so kindly delivered. Why? Because it’s a shiny, sparkly, happy reminder that Tampa should not get too comfy up there at number one when our boys can do THAT.

Thanks for the clips, Texy!

Not only did Manny make that amazing catch then high-five the fan, but he turned a double-play while doing it.

Unbelievable.
