That's how Shank describes Josh Beckett's start last night against the Yankees, which resulted in a 7-2 Red Sox loss. It's a decent Shank column; slightly critical without the trademark vindictiveness, cheap shots and lame song lyrics.
"slightly critical without the trademark vindictiveness, cheap shots and lame song lyrics"
... perhaps The Shank needs to be carefull of scaring away his dwindinling readership as the Titanic Nation begins the slow journey downward.
The 2010 Sox have been giving it their best ... but battling the Yanks, Rays, Jays just requires more energy than the Sox have in the tank ... seems obvious to many fans.
Shank knows we fans will move on to other forms of entertainment soon.
With the start of the football season ahead, I'm sure Shank will be jumping on the "Tom Brady is furious with the Krafts because of his contract" bandwagon soon enough.
Paul, inded - heck, with the rip job Logan Mankins' agent (who I think is also Darrelle Revis' agent) launched at Bob Kraft over the contract the Patriots offered - conventiently a day after the Patriots prove they CAN pass-block and protect the quarterback without Mankins - I'm waiting for that Shank Job akin to the bombs Mazz and Gaspar threw at the Patriots because Brady's new deal wasn't signed yesterday.

ReplyDeleteGads, what's Shank gonna say after the Sox blew it in 11 against the Rangers?
