Game 156: Beckett Be Beckett

By Ben Buchanan

The way the Red Sox are going right now, they need Josh Beckett to do one thing:

Take over this game.

It seems like, no matter what, at least one or two players will be catastrophically bad, with the only cure being a completely dominant performance to counterbalance them.

So please, Josh Beckett, dominate. Leave nothing up to chance. I know the Orioles have been oddly troublesome for you this year, but God, man, we need it.
