Josh Beckett's Belt Is More Street Than You

Our pal Derjue covered the Beckett Bowl for Boston Magazine's blog, reminding us that Josh's sheer awesomeness is so outrageous, even his belt could probably kick our asses:
As Josh Beckett walked the red carpet of last night’s Second Annual Beckett Bowl, we noticed he was wearing a gigantic belt buckle that, at first glance, looked to be the Red Sox B, paired with jeans and a button-down shirt. But when we spied the same logo on a bracelet his girlfriend was wearing, we saw it was a little different.

“It’s his brand,” Whitney Hayes said over the wails of frenzied fans begging for autographs.

As city-dwelling northerners, we immediately thought she meant it in the sneakers and politics sense of the word. But she meant it in the traditional cattle-singeing sense of branding. (It also appears on the gates of Beckett’s Herradura Ranch.)
In other news, Sox drop one to the O's, but on a night when the Rays and Yanks both lose, we can deal.

Enjoy your Saturday. Get drunk. Check the ladies. And we'll see you at 7:05 for the Wakefield Variety Hour.

Also: the greatest summer song of all time.
