Not a true statement at all. He's dead as a doorknob (or however that saying goes).
Also, not to sound like a sore loser or anything, and I dont usually make excuses, but Beckett was definitely getting the better end of the umpire's strike zone last night.
Case in point: Ortiz's at-bat that led to the first run. Johnson throws what should have been strike 3 on the outside corner (that Beckett had been getting from the ump all night), but the ump calls it outside. Next pitch is the A-Rod error that leads to one run, then the wild pitch, then the Manny RBI single.
So, instead of it still being 2-0 Yankees (which it should have been), it was 3-2 Boston.
It's easy to win a game when the ump is expanding his strike zone for one pitcher and squeezing another.
