Five straight wins. <\/p>\n
Jon Lester throws a complete game. <\/p>\n
Still, no respect. <\/p>\n
Just ask any Red Sox fan today \"How are you doing?\" You might likely get this answer, even with the team still in last place: \"I'm all right, don't nobody worry about me.\" <\/p>\n
With that tune in our heads, birthday boy Josh Beckett (he's 32) had a 4:05 p.m. tee time at Fenway Park Tuesday. Snobs. Slobs. Golf. Dysfunction. Beckett, who was dealing Tuesday with nine strikeouts and seven shutout innings, almost single-handedly turned Fenway Park into Bushwood. So here's a look at the 2012 Red Sox through some of the classic scenes from the original \"Caddyshack.\" <\/p>\n
Rodney Dangerfield got \"no respect.\" Beckett has not earned any respect. But they both put family first. Sort of. And each have some questionable doctors. We begin with Beckett (portrayed by the legendary Al Czervik) showing little patience or concern while John Henry (Judge Smails) takes his time trying to set up the perfect tee shot. <\/p>\n
Things aren't much better on the course. Beckett continues to cause one distraction after another, whether he's getting shelled by the Indians, whining about his 18 days off, not caring, tormenting Henry. Meanwhile, Henry's caddy, the young, idealistic and impressionable Ben Cherington (Danny Noonan) watches helplessly. \"The man is a menace,\" exclaims an exasperated Henry. <\/p>\n
How true. <\/p>\n
After that ill-fated outing, Beckett sits down with his agents and members of Red Sox management over dinner to discuss his sore lat: <\/p>\n
Unsatisfied with the assistance offered by Henry, Cherington talks shop and seeks life guidance from the slick and smooth Larry Lucchino (played by Ty Webb), as he carries the bag for the Red Sox president. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
