打得好的比较大声，part2
Josh Beckett抗议赛程的排法对红袜不公
August 19, 2011|By Peter Abraham, Globe Staff
Beckett认为他想说什么就说什么，管他在媒体前，好不好听。红袜在7月22日至
8月29日，38天里要飞到3个时区，6个不同的州打37场比赛。他们连续8天打完8场客
场的比赛后，从西雅图回到芬威球场休息1天，但接着却必须在28小时内打完3场比
赛。Beckett觉得排客场与光芒打双重赛，对红袜不公。
"我们的客场比赛旅途实在不怎么样，我知道是因球队的攻击打得不错，战绩才会
不错。但这1周半来的鸟赛程这么排谁会不累啊？我不知道他们是怎么排的，好几
天来已经有一些人打得这么累了，实在不知道这赛程是怎么排的。"
"客场赛程已经够累人了，我不知道是那个XX排在那天排双重赛的。他们(光芒队)
在比赛中追上来好几次。我觉得上一个礼拜左右排的赛程对红袜不公，我最不爽的
是双重赛的安排，我不知道为什么要这么排?"
"我不知道他们是怎么想的，要一支在刚从西雅图回来，休息了半天的球队，要他
们在1天半里打3场比赛，还能要求他们得个7, 8分吗? 我不知道是那个XX同意的，
这是我这辈子见过最白痴的赛程排法。"
Daniel Bard表示这是球队间协商定下的赛程，球员可没得选。他觉得红袜队或许
是为了避免9月要与光芒队对战5场，但他表示:
"这赛程排得不好。"
对照组:
洋基队被金莺队要求9月8日补赛后，洋基变成要在五个不同城市连续18天打18场客
场比赛，最后6场在西岸打，所以最后在水手队打完后，隔一天要去多伦多打球，换言之
9月15日可能只能休息半天，就要去客场比赛。但管他的，打的好的比较大声就要被鞭，
洋基红袜你们就摸摸鼻子认了吧，呵呵....

Beckett speaks his mind on the schedule
By Peter Abraham, Globe Staff
KANSAS CITY — Full disclosure: I like it when Josh Becket gets feisty with
the media.
Too many athletes face the cameras, microphones and notebooks and try their
best to be boring. They're well-coached by their teams or agents to talk
without really saying anything. Given the 24/7 news cycle and rush to
judgment that exists, you can't really blame them.
But Beckett says what he wants to say how he wants to say it. He doesn't care
and and it's beautiful.
For example:
Question: "What did (Alex) Gordon hit in his first two at-bats?
Beckett: "Why would I want to talk about those? We just won the game. Why
would I want to talk about a home run that I gave up?"
Then later on, Beckett went on a rant about the schedule. From July 22 to
Aug. 29 the Sox are set to play 37 games in 38 days in six states and three
time zones.
They went from Seattle to Fenway Park, had a day off, then played three games
in a span of 28 hours before going back on the road for eight games in eight
days. Beckett wants to talk to the person who decided that doubleheader on
Tuesday was a good idea.
"Our travel hasn't exactly been great," he said. "I know that our offense is
taking a lot of flack for that. How can you not be tired with the [expletive]
that we went through the last week and a half? I don't know how they do it.
There's been several days where a couple of these guys have played and I
don't know how they did it.
"This travel has been horrible. I don't know who the [expletive] made that
doubleheader that day. They [the Rays] come back one more time. We haven't
exactly been treated fair here the last week or so. That doubleheader being
the most glaring thing for me. I'm not real sure how that gets thrown on that
day.
"I don't know how they expect them to still score eight runs after coming
back from Seattle, having half an off day and then go get 'em for three games
in a day and a half. ... I don't who the [expletive] agreed to that. It was
the dumbest thing I've ever seen."
Daniel Bard, the player rep, explained that the Sox players didn't have a
choice under the rules of the collective bargaining agreement. The Sox, he
thinks, were trying to avoid a five-game series with the Rays in September.
"It wasn't the best planning," Bard said.
Surely some of you are thinking that the players are spoiled and quite often
they are. But speaking from experience, travel does wear you down after a
while and surely trying to play baseball at a high level can't be the easiest
thing to do when that's the case.
It's just good to see somebody willing to speak his mind regardless of the
subject. When Josh talks, you can't be sure what he'll say and these days,
that's refreshing.
