And we'll be welcoming you back for another 4 years, Mr. Beckett. I'm just so glad that The Sox got this done before the season really got into full swing and before the rumors started flying that I haven't even checked out the logistics of the contract. Is there a no-trade clause? Is there a hazing clause where Josh gets first dibs on all the newbies in the clubhouse? Is that hazing clause underlined with an anti-hazing clause that involves Tito having to step in to stop things from going over the line again? You remember, right Clay? The waffle iron. All that silly putty. There is a line, I know.
Most of all though, with this signing it gives the Sox the 'your ass is grass and our starting rotation is the lawn mower' power by having Beckett and Lackey signed through 2014 and Lester through 2013. 2014 sounds like the future, and not just because it's one year before Back to the Future Part II takes place, but that's 4 full seasons from right now. Sure arms can get hurt, elbows can need to be Tommy John'ed, backs can spasm, but for the most part the Sox have 3 kick ass studs sitting atop their rotation pretty much til Marty McFly finds out that Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers got him fired.

Hah. Hilarious. I have never seen Back to the Future II, but I'm sure it's swell. Just like our pitching staff. I'm cautiously optimistic. They Dice K will be back... I'm trying to be cautiously optimistic. I love Beckett. Really, I do... but I wasn't feeling the love in the 5-1 portion of sunday festivities. I'm interested to see what Lackey will bring to Fenway...
Never seen Back to the Future II? Wow. I think I have two copies, ok I have 5, but I'll send you one right now.
Pitchers are always slower starting up the year so the runs Becks gave up don't bother me much. I think Lackey will do great, especially since it's supposed to be Cali weather at Fenway tomorrow.
Great....four years of Halloween, which is all that jack o' lantern faced pumpkin pie haircutted freak is good for in MY book.
