It will probably be awhile before NESN goes live on-air again for a Josh Beckett press conference. I, on the other hand, was delighted to see him unguarded after today's loss - where he dropped a few cuss words in his 90 second clip, including a mighty f-bomb. He's pissed- you can practically see him simmering under the surface- but doesn't lose his cool.
To Josh's credit, he flatly refused to allow the press to blame the Sox loss on poor run support (which it absolutely was-- Josh pitched lights-out ball with the exception of the two pitches he discusses in the p.c.), and instead straight up shoulders the blame as the fault of him getting out-pitched.
Joshua Patrick, for your hotness on the mound on Tuesday and today (despite the L) and your even hotter performance in the press room, you're my Baseball Boyfriend Of The Week. I'll always find a well-placed cuss word from a man to be sexy.

Yup, he's very pissed, but he does at least have it all under control. I'd rather the ace of the staff drop F-bombs live on NESN than start punching dugout phones or something...
