Josh Reddick may not be all that impressed with the game going on in front of him (and I'll give him the fact that they were facing the Pirates) but with the way they've played lately, I'll take it. It's kind of sad that a spring training win over the Pirates gets such an announcement but whatever.

Josh Beckett held the Pirates to three hits over five innings. He allowed one run but struck out nine. And except for Fernando Cabrera, the bullpen held the line. Most importantly, there was a little bit of offense. Home runs from Victor Martinez, Bill Hall, and Mike Cameron led the way.

Also,listening to the Pirates radio guys I get the sense that they know that no one is listening and so they feel free to ramble on about whatever crosses their minds.
