Josh Beckett - Dallas-Mavs.com Forums

Murphy3 · 10-26-2003, 10:08 AM

Josh Beckett had never thrown a complete game at the professional level before the playoffs (in either the minors or majors)

he threw a 2 hit shutout versus the Cubs in game six to send it to a decisive game 7 and then he threw a 5 hit gem against the Yankees to win it last night..

absolutely amazing

Josh Beckett pitched one of the best games this poster has ever seen last night. This kid needs an agent...

Josh! The Rangers are the best team for you to play for!

Yeah, he'll leave a team he just won a ring with for a sub .500 team that play's in a hitter's park, right. And he has a agent by the way.

There is an emoticon for it. Based on some of his other posts, there really is no way of knowing if he was being sarcastic or not. Not that his post aren't good, just his style, so honestly he may not have been sarcastic. Regardless, even if he was sarcastic, it doesn't mean I can't have a retort.

And by the way, he DOES have an agent Aex, and I really don't think he was being sarcastic about saying Josh needs one, ergo I informed him he has one. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

He needs a NEW agent, i.e. me. BTW, 99% of everything I say is in sarcasm, it is my attempt at humor in 98% of those cases. I obviously need to be more clear in my communications. Apparently we are all carving these things into a big rock for future generations. So let us make the record clear one and all.

Josh Beckett gave one of the best performances I've ever seen in sports by an individual. But then again, I don't KNOW EVERYTHING about baseball, as I'm sure someone here does. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] (Emoticon added for effect and clarity)

For the right $$ he will do anything! I forgot though, the Rangers will NEVER spend money on pitching, only on home runs.

Thanks for the lucidity Dallas, no harm then. Josh however, to me, seems like one interested in winning to money.

I hope you are right. In which case, maybe the Marlins sell all their guys again and this guy finds his way to Texas for $13 million a year. Just a dream.

However, knowing the Rangers luck, they'll get him for big bucks, and he'll post a 5.60 ERA, lol.

Not even the Rangers pitching jinx could stop this kid. Only cocaine or females could keep him from becoming a hall of famer. He has it. The pundits are weighing in. I never saw an ounce of fear in his eyes through 9 innings. We would just trade him after a year for a prospect and Barry Bonds or someone else who is worthless but hits a long ball and plays outfield, and old.

If the rangers ever got a pitcher of Josh Becketts calaber, I would be so suprised. if he was smart, he would come to the rangers because this organization is turning around and in a big way

If he was smart he would stay away from Texas. No pitcher wants to come to the Ballpark in Arlington.
