I actually don't blame Beckett there. Blue gave him no choice but to groove it. That 1-1 curve wasn't even borderline, a strike all the way. If the count goes 1-2, it's a different animal.
Sometimes things everything goes right, like it is for the Yankees right now. Everyone is hitting, and pitching, and lucky, and, and, and..... Sometimes everything goes wrong, and that is the Sox right now. People are slumping, and no one is getting the timely hit, and no luck, and, and, and..... Good thing they built a cushion. Now they just need to right the ship before it's gone.
