Full disclosure, my brother and I were watching the game last night at a bar, and after the first inning we were ready to leave....
"Beckett sucks, why did I start him on my fantasy team this week?"...
"He's not worth the money on his new contract"...
"His numbers since 08' are more comparable to Dice-K than an ace"...
"I bet he's not even from Texas, he's probably Canadian"
If you sat next to us, that went on for a bit...until Beckett pulled it together and went 5.2 more than solid innings to both shut us up and inject some hope into a nearly defeated Red Sox Nation.
While I'm not ready to give Beckett the ace title back...ever, I am ready to say I have more confidence in this rotation than I've hide all season. Sure it's mainly because of health, but with Dice-K and Lackey in a presumed grove, I haven't felt this good about the rotation since opening day.
I can't wait for the Sox to come home from the West Coast trip, I need some sleep.
ITM note, blogged this while standing in line at Comcast waiting to return my equipment. The move required a switch to Direct TV. The jury is still out on them, but thus far the sports packages and scoreboard features are money.
Big Jon Stud...Go.

Comcast is a complete joke and way over priced. Verizon FiOS all the way!
Good for Beckett, also, Soxin10' note, he went 5 and two thirds innings last night.
Eyes of a mongoose Soxin10'...I'll make the edits.
Maybe if TMurph remembered he blogs for this site he would have caught it first.
Either way, Go Sox.
