Red Sox Nation will get a clue early in this game whether or not Josh Beckett is going to be able to be Josh Beckett. If he is himself, someone in the Rays' lineup-and I would guess Evan Longoria-will get a visit, and will get it early.
There was a strong sense in the Sox' clubhouse last night that Grant Balfour came in toward J.D. Drew's head with purpose. Of course, J.D. fortunately shrugged quickly enough to take the ball off of the top of his shoulder. Josh Beckett has never, ever, needed to be told to answer a challenge. If Josh is well--read that as if he is confident--he will respond for Drew. If he doesn't, I will have questions about his health.
