November 21, 200520 yr Dear Mister Beckett, I know I like to call you Mr. Glass, Bonehead, the resident of my doghouse, Blister Bucks, and DL-4-EVA....but now that the time has come where you may go to another team, I feel bad. You offered us excellent performances over the years, as stubborn and boneheaded as you may be sometimes about pitching injured and not taking care of yourself, you have been a very important member of this community. We sincerely hope you can stay. (I am sure you'd want to stay after looking at the ERAs in the Ballpark in Arlington.) You're a good man Josh Beckett. Never forget it, because we never will. The image on October 25th, 2003 will forever be the one associated with you. Hopefully they will find a way to keep you around and allow you to make some more of those Kodak moments with us. Sincerely, Robert Garcia
November 21, 200520 yr Hey, do not give up your hopes yet, we might still keep the Bulldog in S. Fla.
November 21, 200520 yr The two clubs set a 48-hour deadline Sunday to work out a deal before Tuesday. It's unclear if that deadline is set in stone. One reason for the delay on Sunday was that Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria, who is in Europe, was not easily accessible. This is a unique trade because it is being negotiated by the owners of both clubs. KEEP SOME HOPE MAN!! Got to have hope with this team!
November 21, 200520 yr Author I am keeping hope, just got sentimental there. Keep the bonehead! I need a pitcher to keep in the Doghouse!
November 21, 200520 yr I am keeping hope, just got sentimental there. Keep the bonehead! I need a pitcher to keep in the Doghouse! Still got Mota
November 21, 200520 yr Why don't we wait till more players get traded before we start a project like this, as there are going to be quite a few threads like this.
November 22, 200520 yr Thanks for the memories, bud. We'll miss you and you will ALWAYS have a special place in our heart. I swear that I stuck by you since day 1. I always knew you were going to be great, and best of luck with Boston.
November 22, 200520 yr Sad to see you go Josh. I will always remember the shocked Yankee stadium and the great birthday present in 2003 you gave me with the most dominating performance of your career. But I am happy that you are with the Red Sox, my next favorite team. Now I will have even more reason to watch the Red Sox on a regular basis.
November 22, 200520 yr Thanks Josh! It was a great ride while it lasted. The best of luck to you in Boston!
November 22, 200520 yr Josh....you are great.....Good luck to you and I'll always be cheering for you
November 22, 200520 yr Thank you for everything you have done for us Josh. You will be missed. Good Luck in Boston.
November 22, 200520 yr Author Josh, hope you like Springs in Fort Myers. Thanks again for your service. Same goes to Mike Lowell. Both of you were great, time is a terrible thing. If only we could pause and rewind back to the best of times. At least Fenway is not an unfamiliar place to both of you.
