So come on get your rocks off. I’m gonna knock your Sox off, you’ll see, oh yeah. -Steve Miller Band
Public Service Announcement: OK, here we go! Boom Boom Beckett! Goodness gracious me oh my oh. Did you see Beckett light up Ohio? I did.
I got chills. They’re multiplying. And I’m losing control. ‘Cause the power you’re supplying, it’s electrifying. Boom Boom was electrifying. He’s the one that I want. Hoo hoo hoo. The one that I want in big games.
Like Ned the pie maker bringing the Sox back from the dead. Pick up my bones. Erase my name from off the tombstones. I’ll rock a mausoleum, backyard or coliseum. Boom Beckett rocked a coliseum. Rocked the Jake. For the second time in this series, Beckett smashed CC Sabathia. I said C. CC Rider. Oh see, what you have done. A whole lot of nothing, that’s what.
Beckett threw 109 pitches. 109 beautiful pitches. 109 dazzling pitches. 109 bewildering pitches. He dropped in knee buckling curveballs. He dropped in mind bending change ups. He threw heat. High heat. Hard heat. High hard 96 mph heat. High hard 96 mph heat well into the eighth inning. High hard 96 mph heat well into the eighth inning and proving he is the best post season pitcher of all time. Move over Reggie, there’s a new Mr. October. There’s a new Mr. October and he goes by the name of Boom Boom Beckett.
Last night, Beckett went eight innings. Last night Beckett gave up one measly run. Last night Beckett gave up a paltry five hits with one meager walk. Last night, he threw eleven strikeouts. Last nite, she said, oh baby don’t feel so down. Red Sox fans don’t feel down. How could we? How could we with Boom Boom on the mound? For this postseason, he has a 1.17 ERA. In 23 innings, he has struck out 26 and walked one. Yowza! Those are Bob Gibson numbers. Those are Sandy Koufax numbers. Historic numbers. Momentous numbers. Illustrious numbers. Now it’s time for Schilling and D-Nice to follow suit. Roll Sox roll!
