LOS ANGELES -- The Josh Beckett narrative has been about an aging pitcher coming off a scary injury who taught himself a new trick that, improbably, got him back near the top of the game.During the spring, the Los Angeles Dodgers barely knew what to expect. By late April, they were pretty sure he and his rejuvenated curveball would help their rotation. By late May, he'd thrown the first no-hitter of the Major League Baseball season.Though he is quiet, Beckett is also a resource, someone who knows the difference between winning environments and losing environments.
