Josh Beckett Rested his Injured Shoulder And Lat Muscle That Caused Him to Miss A Start By Golfing….Naturally
BOSTON (CBS) — Last week, following a 126-pitch outing in Chicago, Josh Beckett felt stiffness and soreness in his shoulder and lat muscle. The Red Sox determined on Wednesday that Beckett would not make his next start, which would have been Saturday. However, 98.5 The Sports Hub’s Hardy learned that Beckett wasn’t exactly resting with those injuries. Instead, the Red Sox’ injured hurler was out on the golf course. Hardy reported that Beckett and Clay Buchholz were golfing in the area on Thursday, just days before Beckett’s skipped start.
Fucking Beckett. This guy is something else huh? It’s almost like last year’s titanic collapse which was pretty much all his fault never even happened. In a weird way I kind of respect him for it. He just doesn’t give a fuck. Just flipping the bird to every single motherfucker in Boston. Every fan, every person, everybody who roots for the team. “Like hey Sons of Sam Horn get it through your thick nerd skulls. I don’t give a fuck. I’m going to drink, eat, get fat, skip starts and golf all right in your eye ball and make billions doing it. Chew on that Joe Burger King.”
Beckett is a washed up Slob
Well, to be fair, golf is all in the hips, not the shoulder.
I’m all hands and arms when I golf. Maybe that’s why I suck?
.
Seriuosly, when are they goona trade Beckett and Buchholz in a combo-deal? Both of those Texas rednecks can go suck a wet fart for all I care. Maybe throw in Youk at the same time for a Trifecta. I’d rather they lose with good, honest guys on the roster, than lose with a bunch of has-been primadonnas.
I don’t think my opinion of anyone has fallen faster than my opinion of Josh Beckett. Can we get Hanley Ramirez back?
The only way Cherington & Valentine will take back control of this team is to send Beckett, Bucholz & Youk down to Pawtucket until they’re ready to play at a big league level.
Hey, how did the 1st 2 comments get posted BEFORE the article was posted?
Come to think of it, how did Harry Johnson post his article from the FUTURE?
the site is fucked up today, pages are taking forever to load? Get on it Hardo
Holy gunt! Is that picture of Becket or Travolta? Either way, the Red Sox masseurs better watch out!
@DooBAH
Easy answer, I’m a wizard.
Lats play a big part too Numero Two. Gotta get that back coiled.
Should have dealt Beckett and Youk in the offseason. Now the Sox are stuck with them.
What a group of fuckin dickbags…every last one of them from the douche 39yr old ball boy with the glasses to henry and everyone in between…fuck them
What a mess. Grocery-bag-on-the-head time for (us) Sox fans.
And vinted2k youre an idiot if you think cherington is anything more than lucchinos scape goat puppet
That Sons of Sam Horn shot was sweet.
Hardy better watch out, Beckett has finally found a snitch.
Honestly, i cant even watch the Sox right now. Havent seen an inning. They make me want to puke. Until Beckett is gone i refuse to watch. Shame because Papi is playing lights out.
thats because he wasnt injured. they made it up so Cook could make a start and they didnt have to him opt out by his May 1st deadline. naturally that worked out. fffff
Holy shit. If I were a red sox fan I would be so, so livid. You gotta fine this guy, as someone said eariler, sent him down or something. Do something that sends a message that this type of stuff is simply not acceptable. This guy is clearly living without a care in the world.
This picture to me sums up why baseball players are not athletes. Ya some are in great shape but you don’t really have to be to do your job
@deadlast76, no shit. If lucky lucchino called the shots PUBLICLY it would make cherington & valentine look even worse.
@deadlast76, sounds like you got a lot of built up anger in your typing hands. I heard Travolta is looking for a full time masseuse that’s good with his hands (someone to jerk him off at his beckon call) & he’ll even reciprocate the favor. Cash money dick head, sounds like you’re a natural for the job.
@ vinted : “Beckon call”? Really dude? Come on……
@NumeroTwo – With all due respect, golf heavily involves both the shoulder and back. I’ve blown out both playing golf. The last thing he should have been doing is playing golf. . .ask any orthopedic surgeon.
This team is fucking nuts. As if things couldn’t get any worse something else happens. It’s just never ending with these pussy players. I personally don’t blame bobby v, he was given these pussies he didn’t creat them. Caugh Franconia
I agree somewhat @davemacinnh about doing your job. But being good at your job as a baseball player is a different story, it requires being in good shape which is why Beckett sucks at this time.
Sons of Sam Horn still exists?
Beckett is a fucking loser. Plain and simple.
I’ve always hated Beckett, even when he was good. Just always seemed like a total dickhead
davemacinnh – Kenny Powers would disagree with you.
I don’t blame the guy for this behavior and can’t say I wouldn’t do the same thing if I were in his shoes: 2 World Series rings, ALCS MVP, World Series MVP, 12+ yr career, almost $70 million in career earnings so far. He’s achieved everything there is to accomplish for a pitcher in baseball (outside a Cy Young). Is he a dirtbag for packing it in while still taking a paycheck- sure. That’s what makes guys who play hard everyday of their entire career special players and extremely hard to come by.
I never thought in my lifetime I could despise a home team player more than I did Manny Ramirez, but alas it has happened with his own former teammate. Josh Beckett, get fucked. I wish an alligator tore your fucking leg off on the course.
my theory..the owners want this team to be hated and lose for the next couple years..at that point they will gut the team get the payroll down to nothing then push for a new fenway for “the new look sox” and go big like gillette buy a team of younger studs start to win again and stuff the fenway brand up your ass so hard youll think you were sasha grey…
Why should he care? He’s effin rich!
fuck this asshole…say what you will about Clemens, he took the ball every 5th day, on roids of course
Beckett somehow has done the impossible: win a world series in Boston, yet become the most loathesome athlete in Boston.
And can we PLEASE cut the shit with this “Just send him down to the minors” crap. Doesn’t work like that, he has long since been out of options and therefore can’t just be sent down and brought back up like a rookie. Getting hurt and making a rehab start is the only chance you’ll ever see Beckett down in Pawtucket again. If John Lackey was healthy, as much as some don’t wanna believe it, he’d be RIGHT back in that starting rotation, GUARENTEED!! They over pay these mammlooks and then are forced to play ‘em regardless of their performance because they have so much money tied up in ‘em. The list of Manny’s and Becketts and Burnett’s and the rest of big oney players who don’t do shit after they are signed to big deals goes on and on and on. anyone see what Sir Albert’s been doing out in Anaheim….NOT MUCH!!!!!
@vinted2k….wow i dont get why youre so angry, sounds like you have some daddy issues that years of therapy and craigslist casual encounters havent fixed yet …take a lap and relax or even better buy some sox tickets and direct the hate at some $13 fenway franks
Its pretty simple, Josh Beckett was dumb enough to break pretty much the only rule there is when it comes to playing hooky on work… http://www.thealttab.com/2012/05/did-josh-beckett-go-golfing-after.html
