9/12: Beckett, meet Tampa. Tampa, fear Beckett

Written on September 12th, 2009 by Evan Brunell51033 Commentshttp://firebrandal.com/2009/09/12/912-beckett-meet-tampa-tampa-fear-beckett.html9%2F12%3A+Beckett%2C+meet+Tampa.+Tampa%2C+fear+Beckett2009-09-12+23%3A00%3A00Evan+Brunell

GAME NOTES: Beckett was well on his way to Cy consideration before he started channeling 2006 with all these home runs. In his last start, he refused to give up any home runs, and Commander Kick-Ass now lays his fiery eyes on Tampa Bay. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
