Dear Dan Shaugnessey.....

I read your coulumn about <a href="http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2005/11/27/look_of_an_ace_roger_on_all_that/"> about Josh Beckett yesterday </a>. I thought Bill Simmons did it better <a href ="http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/051122"> five days ago </a>. Nice try, though.

Ps: Your Ugly and your mother dresses you funny. And my Aunt Edna called. She wants her home perm kit she bought in 1985 back.

What a dick head. What percentage of the Sox does the Globe own any way?

Just re-read Simmons column. Reason #8 of why he loves Beckett fits nicely in this thread:

8. They didn't give up smoking-hot lefty prospect Jon Lester in the trade. Apparently this was huge. I have never seen him pitch, don't know what he looks like, couldn't tell you one thing about him other than that his minor-league stats look good (148 innings, 114 hits, 163 K's at Double-A), have no idea if he'll amount to anything … but still, I'm very excited that we didn't give up Jon Lester. With Beckett, Papelbon and potential closer Craig Hansen, the Sox suddenly have four 25-and-under pitchers playing key roles next season, with Schilling assuming the role of Koglan in "Cocktail" as he dispenses wisdom to the young dudes throughout the season, stuff like "Here's how you throw a splitter" and <strong><i>"See that guy with the red curly hair holding a tape recorder? Don't talk to him."</strong></i>
