Josh Beckett Quotes: I didn’t think it was the right…

I didn't think it was the right thing to do. I've never been the type of guy to not say anything. It started after he was jogging in. It's not like I wanted to fight the guy. I just wanted to make a point that you look like a fool when you hit a ball, pimp it and then you're out. I didn't want to fight him. I just wanted him to know my point.

More Quotes from Josh Beckett:

I'm about respecting the game. Even if it is a home run, I don't think it's the right thing to do. It's not like I wanted to fight the guy, but I wanted to make the point that you look like an idiot when you do that and it's an out. It was my fault. I should've let it go. He didn't do that last year when he was hitting a bunch of homers. I guess one season changes you.

I wanted to make a point. You look like a jackass whenever you hit the ball like that and you're pimping it, and you're out. I'm kind of about respecting the game, and I'm not the type of guy to not say anything.

I'm not going to feel that good and pitch that bad very often. ... I guess I can take that as a positive point. I made some mistakes that shouldn't happen. You learn from it and move on. It was all about executing pitches. I didn't.
Josh Beckett

We had some guys who had been starting and batting in different spots in the order. Jack made a shuffle and put some guys in different places. I think the credit goes to them for taking it and being upbeat about it. Any time there are changes, it can be tough on people's psyche.
