Josh Beckett Meme Contest!

Boston, MA – The Red Sox season officially came to a close yesterday, at least mathematically. At the center of the season-long shitstorm was everyone’s favorite punching bag, “the big Texan(?)”, Josh Beckett. I am being completely honest when I say I love the way he’s handled this season. He didn’t quit the game. He didn’t pretend to have injuries like J.D. Drew and go on the DL four times. He comes out and does the best that he can, which, unfortunately, is grooving 91mph tater tots down the pike. If anything, it’s a testament to his work ethic that he’s able to locate 10% of his pitches so each batter he faces doesn’t hit a home run.

Now, let’s play the Josh Beckett Meme Contest! Most of you know how this works. Just go to Meme Generator and insert your favorite Beckett image to create your meme. Submit your entries by linking them in our Comments section, or email them to martin@wickedimproper.com. This week’s prize is a secret, but I can confirm it’s a $24.95 value and is going to taste really good. It only takes 30 seconds to create one, and here are a few I just made to give you some inspiration. Contest ends Sunday, voting takes place on Monday, so please tell everyone in your personal and professional network.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Red Sox 2012: Still Fat, Drunk, And Lazy

"IMUNGRY"

I think it’s fair before getting into this post that I answer a question that must be on the front of your mind:  How long before Red stops blogging about Tim Wakefield after a Red Sox loss?  Answer:  When the Sox win the World Series without him.

 

Five more pitchers take the mound for the Sox, three lay eggs (it’s Easter tomorrow!), including Josh “$16 million plus all you can eat and drink per year” Beckett, who let the Tigers have their f-ing way with him.  Sixteen million.  That’s about $500,000 for this latest performance.  I’m not going to call Josh an overpaid, under appreciative, disrespectful, fat f*ck, but I am going to point out that I could’ve lost this game for the price of a T-pass and maybe a coupon to Legal.
