At 110 pitches...kinda borderline with his history, but I feel like you have to give him the opportunity.

With his history, I think it's a bad idea. That said, I don't see how Mattingly can pull him now. His pitch count is just low enough that it would be a shit storm for him. Of course, if Becket throws another 12-15 pitches and then has his shoulder implode in two weeks, it'll be a shit show for that. I almost feel bad for him.
I hope he loses it and then his arm falls off. Thanks for 2007 Josh. Could have done without the rest of it.
Assist to the ump on those last two pitches, but very happy for Beckett. '07 was great, thanks Josh.
Edit: also, it was complete and total bullshit that no one was warming. Tradition be damned, he's older with a very spotty health track record.

Here's the final at bat of Josh's no-no.

Yeah, it's nice to see. I said it in the game thread, but the chicken and beer bullshit was a media overreaction that the fans bought into. I don't get the Beckett hate. He carried the rotation to the 2007 title. Didn't take long for people to turn on him, though.

They were borderline. But come on, when there are hundreds of pitches every single day worse than that that are called strikes you're really picking nit here. No hitters are cool. It doesn't any way have any impact on the Sox. Root for cool shit, he ain't Arod.
And he gets major props for shoving it up the Yankees ass in 2003 as well.
No: Phillip Humber/Johan Santana, and prior to that, Randy Johnson/Mark Langston (7 IP, with Mike Witt going the other 2).Steve Dillard said:
