What a game. This was one of those things that just highlighted the difference between two Sox pitchers: Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz. Lester was on the way to being an OK starter when he spent a little time with Curt Schilling who taught him how to be a better pitcher by taking notes and keeping his head in the game. Buchholz was on the road to be a phenom when he fizzled and died after that no-hitter because he still has that "but I was blessed by the baseball fairies at birth...." sort of think going. While I would have rather have seen him instead of Masterson go, the Indians weren't stupid and took the better man.
When he gave up 6 runs in the third inning, almost blowing a 7 run lead his team gave him, I began to wonder how loudly you have to yell before they can hear you on the other side of the TV screen.
The score is more of a football score - it was a ridiculous game. One of the highlights for me was the haiku battle I had with an O's fan at one point. In the end, I was glad for the off day, I don't know about the team but I certainly needed a rest.

Wrapping up today
at Fenway South. I'm sure the
O's are glad we're gone
Reddick's first home run
quite a feat, especially
with a bloody nose
Not again Buccholtz
look kid, you're not Curt Schilling
so just be yourself
Victor does his part
straight up the middle for a hit
C'mon Youk, make me smile
the offense steps up
giving Buchholtz a secon
chance. Don't blow it Clay!
I'm scared, if I go
for my run now, we will lose
the lead once again
When you listen to
your catcher things roll much
more smoothly Manny
It's 16 to 9
Dammit REd Sox time to
get a freakin' grip
Baltimore has its
own language just like Eck does
Ole? Whatever.
