Yeah, a 1-0 game is the exact opposite of my prediction. I should probably take the George Costanza approach from now on.

What a frustrating couple of games.

The most frustrating thing about Josh’s outings: every fan watching him suddenly becomes a pitching coach.

Holy crap, that is so true. Glad to know I’m not the only person annoyed/frustrated by it.

Fangraphs says that Beckett’s throwing the curve 21.7% of the time, compared to 25.7% last year. Doesn’t sound very significant to me. It also says that he’s actually throwing *fewer* changeups this year, though (9.1% to 11.5% in ‘07).
