because the thing is, Josh Beckett doesn't make threats, he makes promises.

there is some frankly disturbing news of a threat made on Boston's black and Latin players in Tampa tonight. two names were spefically mentioned -- we don't know which ones -- but all the players have been notified.

i have some thoughts on this:

1. when they mention "security", how much do you want to bet that's a poorly veiled warning that Beckett & Timlin will be packing during tonight's game? keep an eye on those duffle bags over there by the bullpen... er bullbench area is all i'm saying.

2. i'm going straight to hell for this, but what are the odds they would target Lugo? (i swear on all that is important to me that i am *not* behind this thing!)

on a serious note, i wish nothing but health & safety for all the players, but most especially tonight for: Manny Delcarmen, Javier Lopez, Alex Cora, Mike Lowell, Julio Lugo, Coco Crisp, Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz. i hope they catch whoever this nutcase is behind these threats.

and just remember, Josh Beckett & Mike Timlin are avid hunters. do not make their teammates marked men if you won't enjoy being looked at through their crosshairs.

4 with their own thoughts:

LOL Dawn!

Timlin with the crossbow in the bullpen is an image I can definately see!

These whackjobs that take sports so seriously that they would threaten the life of a player? Padded rooms.

And you realize that with that Lugo comment you cost yourself a few jewels in your crown someday, right? ;)

Wow, I hadn't even heard about threats being made until I read your blog!

And no, it wasn't me :P

Methinks Timlin and Beckett should rather take aim at Lugo for botching up at least two innings with runners on and 2 outs.

Just in case you didn't know yet, the players were Coco and Manny. Like any one in their right mind would threaten Manny and have the entire RSN after them!
