No, don't worry, ceiling tiles aren't falling on people and the tracks aren't broken or anything. But Paul McNamara says it's really past time to paint over the Josh Beckett memorial.
Josh Beckett
Gordon Edes tweets the Sox are sending Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, Josh Beckett and Nick Punto to Los Angeles for dinner for six at Sonic several players.
Both pitchers apologized yesterday for last September. Allan at Joy of Sox provides the round up to show that the media has decided whom we should pat on the head and murmur "there, there" to and who should be banished to that ratty old couch in the basement until he apologizes some more:

I also saw one guy walking up Seventh Avenue wearing a David Ortiz jersey.
With sports reporters now providing hourly updates on Josh Beckett's back and overall mood, Kristen and Amy have put together a color-coded Josh Beckett Mood-o-Meter.

Teddy Kokoros: Beckett was amazing tonight:
Sox Nest: Now THAT'S what we’re talking about!
Red Sox Chick: THIS is how the game should be played!
Red Sox Soul: Beckett's the ace.
