The Promised Land

The Red Sox are ~~coming home~~ going to the promised land.

Of course I'm talking about TEXAS. A place so magical, it can bring not one (Mike Lowell), not two (Sean Casey)... but three guys off the DL. Josh Beckett will not stand for a series in the Lone Star State that he is not allowed to be a part of.

I have a feeling that if it were allowed by MLB, Josh would use this opportunity tonight to stride out to the mound wearing Red Wings, a cowboy hat, and a huge belt buckle that reads "EXECUTE FUCKING PITCHES" -- along with some kind of dead animal carcass slung around his neck.

As it is, he will just have to content himself with the ubiquitous silver sunglasses and his patented "I am bored with you now, go away" look.

THAT is a mental image. LOL. I'll be thinking of that when I see him on the mound tonight. And yes, I cannot wait to see him pitch tonight.

I'm not cooking tonight (oh, pizza), dinner at the coffee table in front of the big screen, phone off the hook, beer in hand.

Beckett is on the mound!

I am so looking forward to Beckett. I have missed watching him. Finally I got to wear my Beckett shirt today, it has been way too long.

I'm really excited to see Mikey Lowell back too! And Sean Casey of course. I love them both.
