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??
