Where Is Josh Beckett?

Has anyone seen the old Beckett in 2010? I haven't.

Beckett just gave up 6 runs in 3 innings to Toronto. Even if the Sox win this first game, it's terrible & it's hard to watch your ace get roughed up every time out. Last outing it was 7 runs to Texas.

What's the problem with Beckett? I say it's that his pitches are generally high, not down in the zone, & he's in the middle of the plate too much. You can't give that many good pitches to major league hitters & be successful.

Beckett needs to figure it out soon. Even with Varitek catching for him, Josh is not throwing very ace-like. More like a 4th or 5th starter. And we have Beckett signed for 4 more years.
