Actually he was pitching badly before the contract extension. I think hes signed on July 19th. On July 8th his ERA was already 4.75. July 8th he pitched 6 innings allowing 10 hits and 5 runs. His next start was july 14th and he pitched 4.1 innings with 8 hits and 7 runs. On July 19th, the day he signed he pitched 8 innings surrendering 4 hits and no runs... but it was against the royals so that doesnt count. On July 24th he pitched 6innings allowing 4 runs so thats respectable. On july 29th he pitched 6innings giving up 4 runs again. On August 3rd he pitched 6 innings giving up 7 runs and 11 hits. August 9th he pitched 6 innings for 2 runs.
He wasnt having a great season before the contract but i guess it was a little more consitant. I think his biggest problem is moving from the anemic national league to the american league.

Hey killer chick! you know that I love my josh beckett, but I have to agree..I think he's been really blowin' it lately! I do still have faith in him (i'm not one of those bandwagon fans!) and I still love watching him pitch, but I'm really pissed about tonights outcome!

Come over to the dark side Killer
So it's true, John. Someone can both suck and blow at the same time.

i know. maybe we'll be able to work on his mechanics in teh offseason so he doesn't give up as many homeruns, although he gave up none tonight. i think he will be the ace of the future.

I am sad to tell you that Beck is not what we members of The Nation had hoped for.

Simply put, he sucks. I love the BoSox, but he really blows.
