Boston Red Sox star pitcher Josh Beckett is at the center of another baseball controversy. Just one day after the team announced the right-hander would miss a game due to a strained latissimus muscle, he was seen playing a game of golf as if he had never been injured at all.<\/p>\n
To make matters worse Beckett continues to deny seeing anything wrong with his actions. When asked about it he became arrogant and refused to apologize.<\/p>\n
“We get 18 off days a year,” Beckett said<\/a>. “I think we deserve a little time to ourselves.<\/p>\n “I’ll spend my off days how I want to spend them.”<\/p>\n Fans were not at all pleased with Beckett’s attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n Not sure what Josh Beckett doesnt get. You make millions, when you are hurt you dont golf. Couldn't say I dont care louder if he screamed it<\/p>\n — Cameron Ginder (@cdginder2) May 11, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n \n\n\n Beckett doesn't seem to understand that the issue isn't just golf. It's playing golf while you're "hurt" enough to miss a start. Dope.<\/p>\n — Mike McMahon (@MikeMcMahonCHN) May 11, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n \n\n\n Beckett clearly doesn't get it!! If u r too injured to pitch and help ur team u have no business on a golf course!! #truth<\/a><\/p>\n — Lori (@lomartin33) May 11, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n \n\n\n Really Josh Beckett? What a typical #RedSox<\/a> player<\/p>\n — Gage Fairleigh (@GageFair) May 11, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n \n\n\n Josh Beckett's remarks shows what is wrong with the #RedSox<\/a> right now. No accountability. No discipline.<\/p>\n — the Don (@DonnieBeezer) May 11, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n \n\n\n Josh Beckett playing golf doesn't just "look bad". It IS bad. tells us he wasn't hurt, or doesn't care if he got hurt worse.<\/p>\n — Bob Halloran (@BobWCVB) May 11, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n \n\n\n Is it really news any more that Josh Beckett is a dumbass?<\/p>\n — Fake Craig Counsell (@craigcounsell) May 11, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n \n\n\n Josh Beckett says he only gets 18 off days a year. Apparently he is not aware of this "offseason" thing that most jobs don't have #redsox<\/a><\/p>\n — Dan Ivers (@DanIversNJ) May 11, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n \n\n\n Everytime someone plays hooky from work to play golf & then messes up beyond belief it will be referred to as pulling a Josh Beckett. #MLB<\/a><\/p>\n — jim mccaughran (@jamccaughran) May 11, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n Read more: http:\/\/twitchy.com\/2012\/05\/11\/clubhouse-cancer-baseball-fans-bash-josh-beckett\/<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/AnthonySabatin0\/status\/200962420095725569 Boston Red Sox star pitcher Josh Beckett is at the center of another baseball controversy.
